A lot of women receive flowers on Valentine’s Day, but with this gift concept you can remind her month after month of you, way after Valentines Day is over. A gift subscription to the Flower of the Month Club is the gift that keeps giving. Every month, a fresh bouquet of seasonal flowers will be delivered for as many months as you want to give and then your sweetheart will be continually reminded of your love while never experiencing a shortage of fresh flowers in the home.

2. Dinner and Dress

Even though you might go out to dinner from time-to-time already, go the extra mile and set up an extra special evening over candlelight. Although the gesture of an extraordinary dinner would most likely suffice, imagine the look on her face if you surprised her hours before with a brand new dress for the occasion. The time that went into planning the romantic dinner, coupled with the efforts of seeking out the perfect dress will make her know that she is the queen of the day.

3. Vacation Getaway

If this year has been a particularly stressful one, you may consider treating the both of you to a couple’s getaway. Everyone appreciates a vacation and what better way to relax and celebrate your love than dining and dancing in
The City of Love – Paris. Of course, it’s on the steeper side of the scale but the time spent together creating memories and romance will eclipse the bill at the end of the month.

4. Framed Picture
[ IMG SOURCE & IMG SOURCE ]
The most powerful route to a woman’s heart on Valentine’s Day is by sentimental means. Whether you have lots of money to spend, or none at all, showing your sentimental side will prove to be priceless. That said, for a very reasonable price, you could blow up your favorite picture of the two of you and put it in a presentable frame. Without spending too much money, this picture is symbolic of the time and thought that you invested in her gift, not to mention she’ll adore the fact that you place value in your partnership – enough to frame a picture of it.

5. International Star Registry

Some gifts clearly last longer than others but for a small fee you can buy a gift that will last eternally. Since 1979 the International Star Registry has offered a service where individuals can pay to have a star named after themselves or a loved one. The name is then registered with the US copyright office and a gift pack of pictures, astrological sky charts and a certificate arrive in the mail as proof of the cosmic purchase. It's a bizarre concept but definitely a gesture that shows your enduring love.

If you find a surplus in the Valentine fund, you may consider the fast track to a woman’s heart by gifting her some new best friends. No, not another couple of females to join the book club but her real best friends – diamonds. It may not carry the same sentimental value as some of the cheaper gifts above but it’s a near guarantee that her eyes will sparkle like the gems in front of her when she opens the little box to find a pair of diamond studded earrings.

8. Day at the Spa

Chances are good that your special lady spends 364 days a year working selflessly for you and your family and therefore spending very little time on
her. Just because you can’t afford to send her on an exotic beach vacation doesn’t mean you can’t treat her to some well-deserved rest and relaxation. It would make her day to receive the simple gift of freedom but the addition of day spa amenities would make her year.

9. New Car
[ IMG SOURCE ]
Valentine’s Day is full of flowers and chocolates so think about surprising your girl with something completely out of the blue. If you’ve been in desperate need of a new car for years, or if you just want to treat her to something nice, a new car is always an option for a reaction like no other. Car shopping is often grueling and never a fun way to spend a Saturday so do the work for her – research her tastes and surprise her on the day with a new car wrapped in a big pink bow.
RECOMMENDED PROVIDER: Browse your local dealership.
10. Lingerie
[ IMG SOURCE ]
Though it will be debated on
whom this gift is actually for, lingerie is a forever favorite on Valentine’s Day. Due to the more personal nature of the item itself, gifting lingerie is an intimate offering and a way to show your lady that the spark is still lit. She’ll appreciate the courage it took to shop in a woman’s store and the gesture of your labors in picking out just the right piece for her and her alone.
