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...

  12. A good old fashioned love letter would be my first choice, but I wouldn't turn any of these other gifts away, either :)

    ReplyDelete

  13. 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!

    ReplyDelete

  16. 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.

    ReplyDelete

  18. LOL, anonymous, I didn't notice before, but the heart balloons do look a little naughty uninflated!

    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)

  30. An hour long foot massage? Can you imagine?!

  34. One of each please!

    AND, oh how I DIG the word "schmoopy!" LOVE!

    ReplyDelete

  35. 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.

    ReplyDelete

  36. I'd dance around to Etta James wearing only the Marc Jacob earrings just for my valentine!

  42. 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!

    So thrilled to have a gift guide!!!!! i love them and can't wait for the men's guide tomorrow.

  45. 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!

    ReplyDelete

  46. it's too bad men don't usually read this blog lol... might have to forward this to the hubby! great ideas!

    ReplyDelete

  47. 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.

  55. 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 :)

    ReplyDelete

  56. 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.

  62. 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

    ReplyDelete

  63. Could you please let me know what bra is in the picture you put above the miraculous bra?

    Thank you!

  64. 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.
