Women love Valentine’s Day. It’s the one holiday where a woman doesn’t have to feel stressed or overwhelmed about what she needs to do for everyone else, from the kids and teens in the family to her coworkers, extended family, friends, and beyond. Instead, it’s the one special day of the year when the one who loves her best showers her with love in the form of hearts, candy, roses, and beautiful gifts. It’s the holiday where a woman is made to feel as unique and loved as she really is.

While most holidays are fun, they also involve a lot of work, a lot of planning, a lot of shopping—a whole lot of doing! But when it comes to the best Valentine's gifts for her special day, she gets to enjoy being the recipient for a change. It’s the ideal time to give her something that lets her know that you treasure her. And yes, don’t fool yourself, she is expecting something special no matter what she tells you.

Guys, if there is a special woman in your life, one who you know would do anything to take care of you, this is the day to be sure that she knows exactly how you feel about her. Whether you are a new couple or a couple who have been together for years, you should know that her friends and family will ask her what you gave her Valentine’s Day. Even if she told you that you don’t have to get her anything—you really do. If you care about her, don’t put her into the position of having to tell her friends that you didn’t get her anything for Valentine’s Day—the day for lovers.

When it comes to finding the best Valentines gifts for her, It doesn’t have to be expensive or flashy, but it does have to be something that unique to this most romantic day of the year, and that means hearts, roses, cupids, arrows, or something that says, “Be Mine,” in a way that goes a step beyond the words on the card.

If you want to completely capture her heart, one of the best Valentine's gifts for her special day is the Sterling Silver Diamond Heart Ring by Amazon Collection. This is a beautiful sterling silver ring in a unique ribbon and heart design that’s lightweight, stylish, and lovely. The .925 sterling silver band features a winding ribbon design that twists around into a delicate, open heart shape with the part of the ribbon that winds through the center of the heart filled with sparkling, pave-set diamonds. The total diamond carat weight is .05 carats—enough to give the ring a beautiful sparkle without raising the cost of the ring out of affordability.

Pave-set diamonds are tiny diamonds that are pressed directly into the hot silver or gold during a ring’s design process, bringing the ring the beautiful glittering quality that only comes from real diamonds, but without the expense of larger, individually set diamonds.

The Sterling Silver Diamond Heart Ring measures .39 inches high and features only high-quality .925 sterling silver polished to a high sheen. It’s available in sizes 6,7 and 8. The back part of the ring’s band has a slim design for comfortable all-day wear.

This beautiful heart ring is one of the best Valentine's gifts for her to show off to her friends. It’s also a good choice for a promise ring or a special anniversary. It comes nestled in tissue paper in a custom gift box. Just add a red ribbon or slip it into a Valentine’s Day gift bag for the perfect gift.

How to Find a Valentine's Gift That Will Wow Her

While on the surface, Valentine’s Day may seem like another Hallmark holiday that’s only about the struggle for dinner reservations and the purchasing of cards, candy, and roses, the truth is that those are only the surface symbols of what the holiday is really about. Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love—and not just any love, as in Love thy neighbor, or a parent’s love for their children—Valentine’s Day is about the love between a man and a woman. Romantic, hearts and flowers love that we really need at least one day a year to devote ourselves to. That’s why the best Valentines gifts for her special romantic day are so important.

Understanding Valentine’s Day

While the origins of Valentine’s Day are still unclear and may have had more to do with three executed Catholic saints, pagan spring fertility rites, or the ancient Greek celebration of the marriage of the gods Zeus and Herra, it became associated with romantic love by the 15th century thanks to the epic poems of those writers such as Chaucer who used the word “Valentine” to describe a lover. By the 19th century, sweet, flowery Valentine cards and notes were being printed and exchanged, and Valentine’s Day became a yearly celebration of love and romance.

REALLY Understanding Valentine’s Day

No matter what the actual origins of the day, today, finding the best Valentines gifts for her to enjoy on this special day of love is the key to happiness. Not only her happiness—but yours. While some women are very vocal about the importance of this day and that can add its own stress, other women may tell you that it’s not important. For most women, however, this is merely a code for, “I don’t want to tell you what to get for me, I want it to be your idea!”

Even if she’s said she doesn’t want you to get her a thing, there is a very high likelihood that she really does. This is a day that is all about celebrating something that is very special to her—the love that the two of you share!

While some men get anxious about preparing for this day that seems to mean so much to women, shopping for the best Valentines gifts for her favorite day of the year doesn’t have to be difficult. We’ve taken some of the stress out of it for you and come up with the perfect list for lavishing her with Valentine’s Day love!
