Happy Valentine's Day season, lovebirds. Here's how to impress your wife, fiancΓ©, girlfriend, or that cute girl in your building that you've been flirting with for months: Don't get her that gaudy chocolate diamond necklace that jewellery stores are shoving down your throat.
That's it, that's the whole gift guide.
Maybe it's not that easy, but finding a romantic Valentine's Day gift that's not a complete clichΓ© doesn't have to be hard. It can all be summed up in one question: Why give jewellery every year when she's been complaining about how crappy her tablet is?
Real romance isn't about the amount of money you spend or picking out the biggest bouquet of roses (though that is still very much an acceptable add-on). It's about showing that you pay attention to her complaints, hone in on her gushing about stuff she likes, and showing how much you appreciate what she does for you by gifting something that makes her life easier.
From wine and beauty subscriptions to smart home devices and personalised items, there's an option for whatever type of lady you've got on your hands — even if that type is super picky.
These are the best gift ideas for her this Valentine's Day.
BEST FOR THE NERD
Star map
If you're looking for a gift that no one else has, a personalised star map of your special day as a couple is a safe, super romantic (albeit corny) bet. It could be the day you met, your wedding day, whatever you want. The artist will create a canvas of how the night sky was positioned on that specific day.
ETSY
BEST FOR THE PLANT MUM

BEST FOR THE JEWELLERY HOARDER

AMAZON
BEST FOR THE LADY WHO NEEDS TO RELAX
Massage gun
Whether she's sore from leg day or has an achy back from chronic pain, introducing her to a percussion therapy gun is the next best thing to taking her for a daily deep-tissue massage.

The Hyperice Hypervolt is currently one of the best and quietest on the market.
AMAZON
BEST FOR SKINCARE AFICIONADOS
Skincare refrigerator
We'll give you a second to process the initial shock of how extra a little fridge is.

A mini fridge is also an easy overflow space for a cabinet that's already full.

No matter how you serve it, these refreshing welcome drinks will set the mood right for every guest stepping in to celebrate your special day!Wedding grazing tables or sharing platters
A feast where everyone sits together and enjoys a meal is a sheer charmer. It is marked as a top wedding trend, as it urges the nearest and dearest to socialise with one another whilst making new memories and sharing joyful experiences. Communal grazing has gained popularity, primarily because it is very different from the beige buffets individuals are used to witnessing. Further, the tables are a picturesque sight as they are adorned with props, foliage and flowers. There are a wide range of items served including varieties of cheese, curds, meat, dips, breads, crackers and several others. Contemporary themed weddings in India are witnessing these trends, borrowed by their western counterparts
Another reason why sharing platters have replaced individual plates as a preference among urban millennial couples tying the knot is because it reduces food wastage and makes it easier for guests to enjoy everything in considerable portions, and together.
D-I-Y drinks
Yet another millennial trend - DO IT YOURSELF! This trend has become an integral part of all culinary planning for wedding and pre-wedding functions. Under its umbrella a large number of mixers, juices and various other add-ons are kept alongside alcohol bottles. The guests can walk up to the bar and create a concoction of their choice.

Quirky dessert No meal is considered complete without dessert. A new age trend has changed the face of the usual presentation styles and brought in the concept of serving with a twist. For instance, a Sgroppino station, an idea born in Venice, entails a splendid blend of cocktails and desserts, such as an espresso martini tiramisu. Further, the industry is wooing the younger guests with ideas like delectable milkshakes served along with doughnuts looped onto paper straws or creation of their own personalized gardens with the help of edible layers. Edible flowers Floral patterns have been at a prime-spot in the wedding business, be it in terms of decoration and jewellery items or clothing patterns. However, the recent times have witnessed them acquire a place on the meal tables. They are used as salad add-ons, cake decorations and are even frozen in ice cubes. They bring colour to the wedding menu and infuse the atmosphere with a cheerful vibe. Inputs by Weddingz.in
