Buying the perfect gift for your lady love on valentine’s day can be the biggest headache. There is no cheat code that you can crack and come up with the best idea ever or read her mind and understand what she would love to receive on the day. Buying the perfect valentine’s day gift is one hell of a tough cookie to crack. Let’s see; you have tried to read article after article trying to perfect your gift-giving skills, but it just seems to remain mediocre. Do you know what would work? If you could ask your GF what she would want for V-day. But you can’t, can you? That would take away the surprise and romance element, making it a practical gift. You might even give her cash and ask her to buy whatever she wants. 

Wait a second. You can’t ask her, but you can ask other women. If it’s too awkward for you, let us help you out. Our survey shows that 67% of women love a romantic dinner on Valentine’s Day. But among those women, more than 32% want it to be a home-cooked meal; efforts count. And 21% want a hearty meal that includes messy food like a burger. The point is that a romantic dinner does not have to mean fine dining. Hold on a second; let’s make a list of things that women say they want for V-day.

Perfect Gift No. 1: Food! It Does Not Have To Be Fancy.

Candle-lit dinners are lit, but not everyone is cut out for that. Some men lack creativity no matter how much they try, and some women complain it is too dark and takes away the homely touch. Go figure.

For a long time, men were under the impression that most women want to be taken out for a fancy dinner on valentine’s day, but the women we surveyed said anything but that. The best gift is to show your date or partner that you adore them, even if they gobbled up a fat burger with its juice dripping from her fingers. 

Being a woman comes with a set of instructions. Believe it or not. Women are expected to be graceful eaters. While we go through it most of the time, it would be awesome if, for once, women could just let go and enjoy the food without the fear of being judged for the way we carry ourselves even then.

That! That is what women consider the perfect gift for valentine’s day. 

Are you surprised?

More than 33% of women said they want the cheesiest pizza and some good wine to wash it down. One of these women said she wants to be treated with that chicken and rice bowl that her boyfriend bragged he makes the best in the world. Sure he said it a hundred years back, but why not make it instead of talking about it?

While many women think a home-cooked meal with some pretty string lights and music would be the best date on valentine’s day, some women want to go out, but not to a fancy restaurant. They want street food or chain restaurants that offer the greasiest food ever, one that you won’t have on other days owing to how guilty it will make you feel. The idea is to be able to enjoy yourself without guilt or judgment. 

That, dear men, would be one of the perfect V-day gifts.

Perfect Gift No. 2: Women Want Gifts Wrapped In The Form Of Effort

It is widely known how much women crave being pampered and straight-up cared for on V-day; this probably stems from the fact that women mostly do the caring on other days. And you’d be so surprised if you heard how little of your effort could actually make your woman so happy. 

For instance, let’s say your sweetheart mentioned loving a specific brand of potato chips on your first date, and you remembered it. Among other fancy things you got her for V-day, you bought that as well. Guess which will strum her heart’s strings the hardest? Yes, it’s that one packet of chips. Meaning she does not care how much money you spend on buying her gift. The fact that you remembered something so obscure from a long time back is touching to her. And you thought women are complicated.

Here are some ideas:

• You can follow her wishlist on online shopping platforms and when the time comes, buy her the one thing that has been sitting there for the longest time. It shows that you cared enough to go to such lengths to get her the perfect gift.

• Pay attention to every conversation. Make sure to catch the things she says she’d love to own one day. Whatever falls within your budget, you can get her. Not only will you be gifting her something she always dreamt of, but you will also prove that you actually listen to her.

• There are times when your sweetheart will casually drop hints right before the day of love. It might sound like her appreciating something that she read or something she saw a guy doing for his partner on social media. Listen up. That’s your clue. Do something on the same line. 

• There must be some inside jokes that you two share. Put that to use. Get her something related to that; don’t forget to buy a romantic gift as well.

Perfect Gift No. 3: DIY

Effort matters; we have been screaming the same for ages. It’s about time you listen and start doing the same. What is a better way of showing you put in the effort than to make her perfect valentine’s day gift all by yourself?

DIY gifts are not only for kids. Throughout the year, there are several occasions on which you can gift your date fancy store-bought things. But on the day of love, try to do something extra special. If you have a really packed schedule, how about making her a card to go with her fancy gift? It’s a perfect mix of elegance and homeliness. Just fold a piece of paper, draw something or maybe write a sweet love note. 

Home-cooked meals are also a perfect DIY gift. Don’t let your lady love complain that you are all talks; walk it this valentine’s day. If you don’t know how to cook, it’s about time you learn. What were you thinking? It’s a basic life skill.
