It is that time of the year where the magic of love is celebrated around the world. It is also that time of the year when men start racking their brains trying to come up with the best gift to give their significant other.

Let's face it, not every man knows what his woman wants, considering that most women drop hints around this time already. Well, men aren't mind-readers and for them, Valentines Day is one of the toughest days in the year. So, just to help you out a bit, here are some Valentines Day gift ideas for her:

First, you can never go wrong with flowers. All women love flowers and this Valentines Day, it is one of the staple gifts to give. Give it with chocolates, a stuff toy or something else, just make sure you have flowers for her. Further, call the florist and order your flowers already. They're going to be very busy come Saturday.

Second, get her something she can use. While chocolates and candies are sweet gifts, there's really nothing too special about them (unless it is her favorite thing in the world). Also, these things are consumable so they won't last long.

Rather, buy her something useful so that every time she uses it, she'll remember you. Does she carry around a lot of things? Give her a big stylish tote. If she loves her gadgets, get her pretty cases and pouches.

Last, get her something she wants. Surely, she has told you about something that she really wanted to have. It may not be for a special occasion, but it's something she really likes. Recall these moments and surprise her with that. You'll get so many plus points by remembering and giving it to her at the same time.

Other great gift ideas include a salon or spa gift check for some pampering and relaxation time. If you want to spend a bit more, why not book an out-of-town trip over the weekend?

This Valentines Day, there is really no best or perfect gift for a woman. It all boils down to how well you know your lover and know what will make her happy. You can't fail with that. Happy Hearts Day!
