10 Valentine's Day gifts for women
The Miraculous Push-Up Bra, for obvious reasons. $58. (This is sexy, too.)
Cool heart hoops by Marc Jacobs, $48.
A gift certificate for a foot massage. Have you ever gotten one? Pressure points on your feet correspond to other parts of your body (your head, your arms, your back) so you leave feeling relaxed and floppy all over. Amazing and such a treat. $115 for an hour.
Flowers, and here's the kicker: Send them to her office. It's so much fun to get flowers at work! Her heart will secretly skip a beat when the delivery guy walks in and calls her name, and they'll look gorgeous on her desk for a week. (P.S. Skip the traditional dozen red roses and mix it up a little or a lot; and be sure the bouquet includes a vase. Call up a local florist, or Teleflora and Proflowers are great, too. xoxo)
Ampersand necklace to show your sweet connection. (The font was inspired by the alphabet magnets on everyone's fridges growing up!) $124.
Etta James CD, with classic songs to make her starry-eyed. $4.99.
Giant heart balloons to have waiting in the bathroom, bedroom, hallway and living room when she wakes up.
A notepad with your favorite schmoopy photo, $12.99.
A brownie of the month club. (This exists!!!) $65 for three months.
A good old-fashioned love letter, since that's all she really wants anyway.
What kinds of gifts do you like to get (or give) for Valentine's Day? I'd love to hear more ideas...
P.S. A men's gift guide coming up tomorrow! And past gift guides...

I love the idea of an old-fashioned love letter!! That's one of the downsides of technology!
Love those Marc Jacob hoops
Some Great Ideas! I've already purchased my wife's gift, however...

The lion card is adorable. The bra...sigh..doesn't come in my size. Darn you, Victoria's Secret!

Um...brownie of the month club?! Yes, please.
Love these suggestions! Thanks!
great list!!!! i would love to receive any of these!!
drop by allister bee soon!
A good old fashioned love letter would be my first choice, but I wouldn't turn any of these other gifts away, either :)
I know sometimes people shy away from flowers due to the cost and temporary nature, but I thought this quote from J Schwanke beautifully explains why the gift of flowers is so meaningful: "You have to admit… (and we all Realize)… that Flowers do eventually die… that is part of what makes them so very Special… the Fresh cut Flower is our opportunity to seize the moment… and capture the EMOTION of our Expressions with something Beautiful, Colorful, Fragrant and Fragile…" (full article here: http://networkedblogs.com/tfpH0)
Besides, purchasing flowers from your neighborhood florist is a great way to shop local!
Wow..Etta James' At Last is my favorite love song!!!!! :) Loved the ballons idea :)

sob sob-last year I was TOTALLY loved up ...this year, I am trying to forget it is valentines...
Getting flowers is one of the most simple yet most special gifts. Especially when you work in a sea of cubicles, it really brightens up your day!
The heart balloons in their uninflated state in shades of different pinks remind of something else. But I bet those would look pretty cool blown up as hearts.
LOL, anonymous, I didn't notice before, but the heart balloons do look a little naughty uninflated!
aaaand im sending this link to my boyfriend. thanks!
xo the egg out west.
really great advice or tips:)
another one is suprise your loved one with a trip to parga greece..

I definitely would love to get an old fashioned love letter... :)
the best bouquets are from www.odealarose.com
so fresh and affordable.
I'm forwarding this to my sweetie. I do get sweet love notes throughtout the year, but its even more special when on V day!
Receiving original artwork or prints of something I love is always my favorite. :) Ugallery.com has great and affordable art! http://www.ugallery.com/kimia-kline
At 33 weeks pregnant, I'll take breakfast in bed and a foot massage! :)
Great post Joanna. I'll take any of them.
Have you seen these beautiful online valentine's day cards? I am in love with the zebras!
http://www.paperlesspost.com/
these are great! I found this great diy valentines card idea that i'm sending to my dearest and closest friends, and they best part they have no idea its coming!
That's not the miraculous push-up in the picture, is it? I LOVE the bra on the model, so if it's not the linked one, do you happen to know what it is? So pretty...
(And a great list--I wish I could leave this sitting around for my boyfriend to see, but we live fairly far apart right now, so I think he's got something creative up his sleeve anyway)
An hour long foot massage? Can you imagine?!
Etta James :) I love !
I bought the Lion card yesterday for my other half!! I hope it's not too girly?!
Great list, perfect for ANY girl. :)
P.s. I just posted my "5 Valentine's Day Gifts for Nurses" on my blog! I'm hoping my husband takes the hint!
One of each please!
AND, oh how I DIG the word "schmoopy!" LOVE!
Love Etta James!
on another note, I don't know if it is just me, but Rachel Crow from the x-factor show looks just like Etta James on this photo you posted.
I'd dance around to Etta James wearing only the Marc Jacob earrings just for my valentine!
such a cute idea! love!
love the card! i recently posted some fun cards i found on Etsy on my blog at www.bockting.blogspot.com. i couldn't agree more - a heartfelt note is all us women really want.
love all your ideas! I want a foot masage!
I adore the personalized notepad. Bonus points for being a gift that is heartfelt, creative and practical.
That ampersand necklace is calling my name. I'm single, but maybe I deserve a 'Congratulations on Holding Out for the Right Guy' gift to myself!
Love all of these!
So thrilled to have a gift guide!!!!! i love them and can't wait for the men's guide tomorrow.
Great list of gift ideas! I agree with the flowers! I don't think there is anything more exciting than getting flowers at work. When I was in high school and my boyfriend was at college, he couldn't be home for Valentine's Day. I got a bouquet of flowers in a vase delivered to me in class!
it's too bad men don't usually read this blog lol... might have to forward this to the hubby! great ideas!
These ideas are so cute. I imagine being confronted with one of them at 14th. Ah i would be so happy. They are really, really sweet and inspriring.
proflowers link sends me to a place to buy the godfather on amazon? is this a trick?
such a great list! the brownie of the month club just sounds AMAZING
AW! How sweet. I would love the brownie of the month or those cute heart earrings. Going to have to email this to a certain someone ;)
I love the push up bra! And I am a sucker for flowers. Loved these suggestions. (My husband would actually be really into the brownie a month club.)
I agree! So much fun to get flowers at work! Love it!

My ex-boyfriend (now husband) gave me paper flowers he made himself for our first valentines day together. they were crumpled, hardly recognizable as flowers, and absolutely lovely. one of the best gifts ever -- although the brownie of the month club does sound pretty amazing :)
We don't usually exchange gifts since our birthdays are in January, but we do always make a fun meal. This year we're having steak, wedge salads, twice-baked potatoes, and chocolate macaroon pie. I think it would be fun to give someone a brownie (or other dessert) of the month club as a gift and then make them myself. $65 seems outrageous for 3 batches of brownies, especially since they're so inexpensive to make.
I saw a gray sweater with a UK flag on it ar Zara that I really liked and my boyfriend said he'd get it for me (am I the only one who feels awkward about getting stuff for no reason?), so I guess that'll be my Valentine's gift :)
Loved the card, it inspired me to make one for my boyfriend. No, it won't be too cheesy haha, he's actually very romantic.
oh my gosh that push up bra is HOOT

Alright I'm sorry for having my mind in the gutter but those heart shaped balloons did not look heart shaped to me, and the fact that you blow on them, LOL.
ANYWAYS I would love for everyone to check out my blog and participate in my giveaway contest :) . I'm giving away some cute freebies like nail polish, headbands, make-up, etc. Check out my blog! Mauve & Moody

I LOVE THE LOVE LETTER!!!
Those brownies look soooo good! Of course, it's 10:33pm and not a brownie in site! I love those heart shaped earrings too. My husband and I exchange books on Valentine's Day, we like used books from Half.com :) xx
Could you please let me know what bra is in the picture you put above the miraculous bra?
Thank you!
I really love that ampersand necklace, so sweet! And any gift that will make me look even a 1/100th as good as Alessandra Ambrosia is pretty cool with me.

Amazing post! Love it! Especially the lion card. Just shared it to my facebook :-)
oh my... what a wonderful - incredibly comprehensive list!! Great job, momma Jo! :)
(I'm partial to that fabulous "&" necklace -- and of course, the Etta James CD suggestion...)
i will add a sweet kiss :)
mmhm. now i want an ampersand necklace.
Darling ideas! But as a lover of language...I've got to come clean and say it: that necklace looks nothing like an ampersand! :)
I love Etta James; great call on that one.
Yoga Toes would be a great gift! Talk about awesome after a long day running around. They have a Valentine's special right now, too:

I shall show my hubby this post, totally looking forward to Valentines day. Tis' on of my favorite celebrations.
If I had a girlfriend, and I wanted a gift, I'd ask for another pair of Saxx underwear. I don't work for them, but I'm telling you, they're the best underwear for men on the market. Trust me.
Here's a link: http://j.mp/xaOOfk
Sorry if this sounds like spam. I'm just trying to spread the word.
A big YES to the good old fashioned love letter... These are all great ideas but that is definitely my favorite.
Nice idea of Etta James for Valentine. I love good music, last forever. Here's a link to good music on Valentine Ecards. These should be popular gifts.

Enjoy the music...
