Top 10 Valentine Gifts for Women

By Susan Breslow Sardone, About.com

Looking for Valentine or romantic gifts to please the woman in your life? Whether you're just dating, engaged, or married, the gifts that provoke the most delight are traditional ones: Roses, chocolate, perfume, and jewelry. The untraditional part is that you can now buy them all online. Select one from each category, and you're likely to hit the romance trifecta, ensuring a memorable evening.

1. Red Roses

If you want to say on Valentine's Day, "I love you," nothing expresses that sentiment better than beautiful red roses. To be certain your message comes across clearly, include a love letter that says how much she means to you.

2. Box of Chocolates

Who wouldn't appreciate a heart-shaped or golden box filled with sweets? To show how much you care, know her preference for chocolate -- dark, milk, or white -- and whether she likes filled or solid pieces best. Pick out a selection designed to melt her heart.

3. Romantic Heart Pendant

Heart-shaped pendants say "I love you" and are worn close to her heart. Choose from a variety of metals and a range of prices.

4. Sweet and Sexy Lingerie

A Valentine's day gift selection of pretty things for her to wear to bed.

5. A Classic Perfume

If you don't know what her signature fragrance is, you can't go wrong with one of these.

6. Apple iPod Classic 160GB

If she loves the latest and the greatest gifts and needs maximum storage for music, photos, podcasts, and videos, choose the sleek iPod classic in a black or white case. Its 160GB hard drive has the capacity to store huge quantities. With an optional S-video cable, it's possible to connect iPod Video to a projector or TV so you can both enjoy images in a large format. Fully charged, this model boasts up to 40 hours of battery life. Too pricey? Consider an iPod nano or an even cheaper Shuffle.

7. Apple iTunes Gift Certificate

Give her something to play on her iPod, and let her choose her favorite songs that remind her of you. iTunes gift certificates are available from $10-$200.

8. Gemstone Earrings

Small and sparkly, earrings with stones can dazzle. If your budget can't afford diamond earrings, select a pair with pearls or semi-precious stones to dress up her ears. Before you buy, know whether her ears are pierced or not and choose the appropriate back.

9. Diamond Heart Jewelry

If you want to melt a heart, there's nothing like bestowing a jeweled one that is mounted with a diamond... or two... or more. Diamond jewelry sparkles in the light, reminding the wearer of the person who gave it to her each time it scintillates.

10. A Ring That Symbolizes a Promise

Bestow a promise ring on your love this Valentine's Day, and it says you're ready to take the next (small) step in your relationship.
