What is a good Valentine's gift for a girlfriend?

Something she will wear or use that says you noticed: the fragrance she wears in a size she would not buy, jewelry in the metal she wears, the skincare she keeps mentioning. Flowers on the day as well, not instead.

Is jewelry too much for a new relationship?

A small piece — huggies, a thin chain — is a lovely gift at any stage. Rings and anything with a stone in it carry meaning; save those for when you both mean it.

Valentine's gifts for her

Valentine's is the gift with the most rules and the least room: it has to be personal, it cannot be practical, and it is due on a Tuesday in February.

This is the shelf that fits the rules — fragrance, jewelry, the nicer skincare, a bag if the year calls for it, and the soft toy that is a joke and also not. Real US prices, in stock.

The couples' fix is embarrassingly simple: swap wishlists in January. You each buy something the other wanted, and neither of you sees what was reserved.

Swap lists instead of guessing

Make a wishlist, send them the link, and ask for theirs back. You each get things you actually want, and neither of you sees what the other has already reserved — so it is still a surprise on the day.
