Chocolate, flowers, love hearts, wine, tea, coffee, and jewelry don’t get tired as gifts go. Women will always enjoy them. But there are ways to make these gifts fresh by approaching the ideas from a different angle. Rather than buying her a ring, which may look too close to an engagement ring, why not get her a jewelry-making starter kit to play with? Similarly, rather than getting her an expensive perfume, which she may or may not like (just because you like it doesn’t mean she’ll wear it), why not let her pick a perfume or some other beauty products on her own?
There are also quirky ways to make chocolate interesting. You can get nicely-wrapped chocolate pieces with wrappers of different colors and present them to her in a unique zipper-bag-shaped glass bowl, for instance.
This can be also the time to give her a gift you both could use -- apart from the chocolate, that is. There are some nice gizmos out there for chilling wine. So if she likes wine, you can surprise her with a bottle of white wine that goes well with chocolates, one that you have chilled that day with your new contraption after presumably drinking some of that wine yourself so that the chiller could fit in.

Yes, for some reason I love glass too. I also like clear tea cups!
I remember you mentioned white chocolate in the past, and I may have commented on how I like cheesecake made with white chocolate. You have now inspired me to try some such recipes at home :)
Mira, Your gift ideas are great (except that I way prefer white chocolate ;-]). In particular, the flowering tea set is extraordinary since the choices are welcoming, the packaging is classy (I love mahogany), and teapots in glass always seem to say "I'm giving serving quality products in a quality product since heat does not make me break."
Valentine's Day is a nice occasion to give your special someone or other women in your life nice gifts.
Loved the ideas you have presented for Valentine gifts. Many a times it matters how you present your gift; a lovely quirky gift, an interesting wrapper or a surprise gift box - all these make difference. Perfect for Valentine's day.
Thank you for your comment, Violette! I think the guy who made those flowering teas is a true artist.
These are really some great gift choices, the flowering tea set sounds wonderful!
Thank you!
These are all really good Valentines Day ideas.
Yes, some people start getting ready for it early :)
There are some great ideas for Valentine's day. I did not realize the day is approaching so fast.
