Your lady is priceless and she deserves some special valentines gifts. But what do you get for the woman who has everything? That is the million-dollar question. Sure you can buy her a dozen roses and some new bling for her ears, neck, or fingers. These are so cliche and a little overdone don’t you think? I mean, if she has everything does she need more flowers or more jewelry? Of course, diamonds are a girl’s best friend and that tennis bracelet would look spectacular on her. So, how do you shop for the woman who has it all!
Don’t let her fool you, even though she says she doesn’t “need” anything, doesn’t mean she doesn’t “want” something for Valentine’s Day. Show her just how important she is to you with a unique gesture that will quite simply blow her mind.
The one thing that trips most partners up with any romantic occasion is knowing the difference between not needing anything and not wanting anything. Your amazing lady may tell you she doesn’t need anything because she really does not need anything but that does not mean she wouldn’t like something from you. A need is something she cannot live without – like food. You need to eat for sustenance. A want is something that is not necessary but would be nice to have – like that new purse even though there are five more in the walk-in closet that are rarely used.
Special Valentines Gifts For The Woman Who Has Everything
In this post, you will find some really unique and special valentines gifts that she doesn’t “need” and likely didn’t even know she wanted. Yet, they will make her feel like she is on top of the world because you thought enough about her to do something unique for her.
How Did Valentine’s Day Happen
In the 3rd century A.D., Emporer Claudius II executed 2 men on February 14th. The roman catholic church chose to commemorate the martyrs by claiming February 14 St Valentine’s Day. One of the men killed left a final note to his precious daughter signing it “with love from your Valentine.”
This simple act of love and kindness was adopted in 18th century England. People were inspired by this note of love so they turned Valentine’s Day into a day to celebrate lovers. And so, the tradition we know of today was born.
Special Valentines Gifts
Ok, flowers and candy are out. Maybe jewelry should be off the list. What do you get for the woman who has everything?
Do It Yourself Gifts
Foot massage – even if you are not an expert, the act of playing with her feet after standing in those heels all day long will have her smiling from ear to ear. Rub the achy and tired muscles until she is feeling like a million bucks. Imagine, this didn’t cost you anything but it will be sure to please. If you are feeling inspired set up a foot soak bath for her with some scented bath bombs and Epsom salts to really relax those little piggies.
Candlelight dinner for 2 – get the kids out of the house so that you can have uninterrupted quality time together. Cook her favorite meal. Open a nice bottle of her favorite beverage. Set the table with the best china and crystal. Make sure you pull out her chair and just be chivalrous all around. By putting your lady first, you will show her how important she is to you.
Playlist – create a playlist on her favorite app or on a CD. Include all the songs she loves. Have it playing when you serve her that very romantic dinner for 2. It will set the mood for after dinner.
Love note – nothing says I love you more than a handwritten poem or love note. You don’t need to be Shakespeare. Just speak from the heart and tell her what she means to you.
Inspired Gifts
Cocktail – have a bartender create and name a cocktail especially for her. The cocktail should be inspired by the things that represent her, what she likes to eat/drink, her favorite scents, and her overall essence. A good bartender will ask you all the right questions so you can together create something she will enjoy.
Stars – buy a star for her. This way whenever she looks into the night sky, she will forever be reminded of the shining example of your true love.
Plaque – have a glass or crystal plaque made for her that says she is the best wife, girlfriend, lover, (or however you refer to her as). Make it a fancy sculpture created just for her. The etched glass and the words you use will commemorate forever how you feel about her. Or, create a family tree of sorts on the plaque.
Something vintage – get a piece that was made in the year she was born. One that will fit in with the home decor or that she can take to the office with her. The piece should reflect the image of who she is and who you believe her to be. Make it a beautiful piece. I would say a picture of the wicked witch of the east would not be something you want to gift to your special lady.
Art – although art is very subjective, you should know the tastes of your woman and know what she will like. If she is an animal lover, then perhaps a painting of her pet dog commissioned by an artist would be something you can do for her.
Thoughtful Gifts
Spa day – I don’t know of any woman who would not enjoy being pampered for the day. It allows her to relax and forget the stresses of daily life even if for just a few short hours. She will love the time to herself without the added pressure of the usual grind.
Maid service – if you have never had the opportunity to have your home professionally cleaned, this would be the greatest gift you can give to your very busy partner. Lighten her load a little. She already does so much around the house with cooking, laundry, taking care of the family. Give her some precious time back by having someone else take care of the house cleaning.
In Summary
The woman who has everything still deserves to be spoiled with special valentines gifts. Don’t let her fool you. When she says she doesn’t need anything, doesn’t mean she doesn’t want anything. Reminder her how much she means to you with a unique experience all her very own. I promise you, you will be dearly rewarded for the effort.
