Valentine's Day is coming - part II

Hello dear bloggers and readers from around the world!

I was telling my boyfriend about my blog post about Valentine's Day gift ideas to buy men and he told me I should also write one directed towards men with gift ideas for their girlfriends. So that's what this post is going to be about. Now I, myself, am a girl so I think I can figure out quite well what girls would like but I suggest you guys try to listen to the hints your girl is giving you. Us women will always give you hints, through things we like on Instagram, Facebook, maybe things on Twitter or we'll just directly tell you what we want. I always do the last one. I'll give him some clues or maybe send him pictures of things I want. Is that not romantic? Or maybe selfish.. Anyway, it still is a win-win-situation because I (sometimes... ) get what I want and he doesn't need to freak out about what to give me.

I can surely understand that you guys still need a helping hand, because girls need that too.

I'll start off with some basics. Things every (well almost) women will be happy with.

  • Flowers, we all love them and they're not so hard to pick. A bouquet of red roses is always something sweet to give. Maybe give a specific amount, like when you're together for 6 months, get 6 roses. 
  • Perfumer. Girls love to smell good so this is a really good option. Off course perfumer can get expensive and if you buy a scent she doesn't like, that would be super awkward for both of you. So before you buy this, try figuring out which scents she likes. I personally like Miss Dior by Dior. I really hope my boyfriend is reading this.
    If you still want to buy her perfumer but you don't want to spend tons of money, some stores sell cheaper versions or search the internet for outlet sales. Scents also change by the season and some may be out of fashion.
  • A stuffed animal. Cheesy as this sounds, getting her a cute teddy or another kind of stuffed animal, will melt your baby's heart because you're showing your soft side. Still not any stuffed animal will do, think 'super cute and I want to pinch its cheeks so hard'. So like sharks are not okay.

On the other hand a present is maybe not what your girl is looking for. Some girls like a date more. So you can take her out for dinner or take her to something she loves to do. I can't come up with other examples right now but I'm sure you know what I mean.

BUT. Yes, women always need a but. Even tough she might say she only wants a date, she still wants a present. Even if she insists not getting her something, get her something. She'll be grumpy afterwards if you don't. There for I'll now give you some specific examples, things I like or things I think women will like in general.

Like in my previous post, I'll use Etsy.com. Products from Etsy are always unique and hand-made. She'll love that. 

1. Every girl likes beauty products. Especially if it's something special or organic. Now I don't recommend you buying make-up. We have to be very picky when it comes to make-up because it depends on our skin type, undertone and so on. If you want to give her make-up, get her a gift card from her favorite brand. 
Bath Salt with Spirulina - €8.08
Check out the store, it has great stuff! KalaNatur
Make Up Brush Holder  - €13,92
for you make-up addict :-)
I know Lush is a thing now, but this is cheaper and I'm not really a brand fan.
Eucalyptus Bath Bombs - €4,49
This store is also worth checking out! theblacksheepsoapco

2. Women also like beautiful solutions for their dull everyday objects. Getting her a nice calender, some cute mugs or pretty notebooks will be a good choice.

3. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. It's a fact but it doesn't have to be diamonds, jewelry in general will do. These are my favorites.

4. Girls also like interior decor. You can always buy her a cute little cushion or whatever. Some great ideas:

Iridis Prism Terrarium, medium -- for air plant terrarium or small succulent - €143,65
This is expensive, I know. But so gorgeous. And it's stained glass.
Shop: ABJglassworks
Heart Geometric Print - €11,22
2 CUSTOM Mason Jar Wall Vases or Sconces - €24,24
you can change the writing to whatever two words you'd want, like 'love you'
or; wanna date? or; be mine... you get the idea


There's always plenty more to give. These are just some ideas. Don't forget a cute little Valentine's card. It's always nice for us girls to read what you love/like about us. Be funny or cheesy. Maybe write a little funny poem. Or just I love you. Or maybe do what Hallmark says, without the word love!

I hope you can find her the perfect present and I wish you a romantic Valentine's Day. Still I hope my boyfriend sees this, I might mail him the link. Or is that too much?

Love,
Sinitta
