1 Fashionable women might consider the contents of their closets the most important thing, but they also pay careful attention to the items that they put into their homes. After all, where we live reflects who we are just as much as our clothing. All women love flowers, but the bloom du jour is undoubtedly the peony. Fashion lovers have made this their go-to, and you don’t need a ton to make a statement. But, the more peonies you give her, the better. A small bunch on a nightstand or in the center of a coffee table will add just the right dash of elegance to a space. And your woman knows that.

We say, pick one that is the perfect size to fit in her purse, and you can be sure she will always have it on hand (no pun intended). Plus, she’ll carry it around with her wherever she goes. Sweet!

This gift will show her you have a healthy understanding about her desire to see something pleasing and feel relaxed after a tough day!

4 The cold months can be especially hard on the fairer gender- a comforting cup of cocoa is a great way to fight off the early morning, late night chill, isn’t it? A complementing pair of mugs will represent an interest in sharing a warm beverage. Simple and unassuming, a ceramic pair, like this one, is more romantic than you might think.

And your style sensibilities would have slayed her.

7 Jewelry can be a bit of a gamble. But, if you do decide to get her one this year, stray from the predictable. So, a watch that’s elegant yet not too showy and made by a trusted brand is sure to hit the right note.

8 Move over the usual sweat pants/ printed pyjamas. Gift her knit pants - they are as comfortable as they are sexy- that will become her at-home staple. Not only are they casual, their slim fit will compliment those legs. Talk about introducing a little extra everyday sexiness to lounging around!

10 What’s the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift for her (that’s actually really for you)? Lingerie! Every woman likes to feel sexy, and a matching top and bottom combo will put you both in the mood. We recommend the highest-quality lingerie available out there, because when you’re trying to get skimpy, you really shouldn’t skimp.
