Valentine’s Day can be tricky. From brand new relationships to ones that have (hopefully) been going strong for years, you just never know what could be taken as inappropriate or even inconsiderate. Fortunately, gift guides for just such a dilemma are plentiful on the internet this time of year, and all too ready to dish out advice with no frame from of reference to you personally. Here are just a few genuine Valentine’s Day gifts recommendations from across the web which will totally work out great (so long as neither of you take the holiday too seriously that you can’t have a little fun with it).
If all else fails, there’s always candy hearts. They’re time tested, right? So women must love them. Or chalk. Maybe they just love eating chalk.
Unconventional Gifts Valentine's Day 2018
Customized Bobble Head
It might be hard to surprise her with this one considering most customization techniques require photos from multiple angles, but there's certainly no lack of places to get your hands on one. Besides, nothing says "I took pictures of your head while you were sleeping" quite like a bobble head. Whoops, we meant to say nothing says "love."

A Gift Card To Her Favorite Store
Gift cards might seem pretty uninspired at first glance, but if "you're the one" is the message you're looking to send, expressing that you have no clue what she's into (but will gladly drop her off at the mall for a few hours) should do the trick. Plus, now she'll know exactly how much you spent on her. Hence, how much you love her.
