For most men, picking out the perfect Valentine’s gift for their wives or girlfriends can be a tedious task. Since not all women are very particular about what they really want, men spend a lot of time finding that elusive gift and end up confused and frustrated when they can’t decide which one to choose for their special someone.

To avoid confusion, you must mentally review the interests of your wife or girlfriend and create her profile in your mind when you go out shopping for that gift.

If your wife or girlfriend is logical and humble, avoid giving her items that extravagant and super expensive. Give your “practical” partner extremely practical gifts that may include a new coffeemaker, vacuum cleaner, magazine subscriptions, furniture items, towels or sheets, and a few gardening items.

If you have the “romantic or feminine” partner, give her sentimental stuff like journals with pen set, perfumes, tickets to the special ballet, art show, or theatre performance, a pampering bath and body set, reservations at a fancy fine-dining restaurant, a relaxing out-of-town or out-of-the-country weekend getaway, jewelry like necklaces and earrings, or a designer watch.

If your partner is into sports or fitness, give her what a “sporty” wife are interested with that may include tickets that feature her favorite basketball, hockey, baseball, football, or soccer team, team spirit items like collectible shirts, hats, and memorabilia, fitness stuff like hand weights, yoga mat, workout DVDs or a pre-paid gym membership.
