Giving your girl a gift this Valentine's Day doesn't have to be a hassle or a headache. In fact, it can be fun once you figure out how to clear your head of misconceptions and preconceptions of what women supposedly want so that you can realize what YOUR woman wants. Here are some stealthy tips to help you do just that.

From Quick Guide: Gift Ideas For Women 101
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Forget the common misconception that all woman want candy, flowers and a gushing card on Valentine's Day. True, some women like this, but yours may not.

  2. Step 2

    Don't ask her what she wants. Many women are of the mind-set that if you have to ask, you don't know them very well. That sucks the romance out of any gift-giving situation.

  3. Step 3

    Listen to your lady. A woman will usually tell you what she wants; you just have to be ready to collect the information. The best way to make this easy on you is to set up a situation were she will spill the beans without any prodding.

  4. Step 4

    Take her window shopping, for example. While she browses, take note of the things she gushes about. When she says things like, "Oh wow! Look at that beautiful necklace!" or "I would love to have one of those one day," remember that item.

  5. Step 5

    Watch TV with her for even more ideas. When she points out items on shows and commercials, pay attention.

  6. Step 6

    If you have trouble remembering the details, make a note to yourself on your cell phone while she is out of hearing range, or text a message to yourself with the pertinent information.

  7. Step 7

    Go through your list of ideas and pick the one that sounds the most romantic. Remember to consider what your certain someone's ideas of romance are, too. If she hates practical gifts, nix the toaster oven and blender ideas, no matter how much she seemed to want one.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you are faced with several choices and can't make up your mind, pick the choice that comes in her favorite color. You'll get bonus points for remembering.
  • Don't get her something that you would like. Remember, this present is just for her.

It’s hard to find a unique gift at an affordable price right now.
I have been racking my brain looking for the perfect gift for my boyfriend, and I think I found it.
I found this great site — http://www.my-song.ca/alps/vday/sales!
You go on and make a personalized love song — I had a great time putting the song together. It’s completely personalized, and so cute! It’s something I know he won’t forget for a long time.
Great site, thanks for the ideas!
