What Every Woman wants this Valentines Day

What Every Woman wants this Valentines Day

Date: 2014-02-07
Valentine's Day, for all of its hype and all of the pressure, is not as hard as it looks. It's relatively simple to please a woman as long as you know something about her. That said, let's go back to the above statement: "it doesn't matter what you do as long as you do something." This is not to say that simple isn't good enough, that you have to go above and beyond and expend your life's savings to make your girl happy. It just means that taking her to McDonald's and giving her a plastic flowers from the Pep Stores probably isn't going to make her feel very special.

Women like to know that you've thought about them, that you've invested some time and energy into your plan, gift, etc. Here are some dos and don'ts.

  • DO spend a little time thinking about what you're going to do or get for her. 
  • DON'T wait till the last minute to make reservations. Restaurants are usually fully booked on that day so book well in advance.
  • DO know her favourite flower. Buying her the flower that she loves means you care.
  • DON'T get her something practical. Give her something she would want.
  • DO something original. Think about what makes her happy, what she loves most and form a plan around that. 
  • DO take notes, mental or on paper. She is bound to drop hints closer to the time of what her ideal Valentines gift would be.
  • If she loves gardening...Buy her a pair of cute gardening gloves and a few packets of seeds
  • If she loves reading...buy her the latest release from her favourite author.
  • If she loves giving back to her community...Volunteer with her at her favourite organization.
  • If she's the outdoorsy type...take her away for a hiking trip in the berg.
  • If she loves wine...Buy her a case of her favourite vintage.
  • A spa gift certificate for a massage is always a treat for any age group.

As for jewellery...it is almost always a welcomed gift, but again, only if it's appropriate. If you've been seeing a girl for only a few weeks, it might not be the best gift idea. On the other hand, if you're in a long-term relationship, a nice pair of earrings or a necklace or even aring might be just the perfect gift. Use your judgment on this one, and ask someone close to you if you're not sure.
