Valentine’s Day can be a weird holiday to shop for, especially because every gift option seems to be themed and covered in hearts. That’s fun for the few days surrounding Feb. 14, but what about the rest of the year? What are you supposed to do with a teddy bear holding a plush heart in July?

Skip the heart-shaped jewelry this year and get your girlfriend something she really wants for Valentine’s Day. Whether she’s a plant mom, into tech, or a beauty guru, you'll be able to find a gift she loves. And look, we know V-Day is a sexy holiday — we've got you there, too.

Who says Valentine’s Day gifts have to be cheesy and romantic? Not us. You can get something thoughtful and useful. What a concept!

We dug around the internet to help you find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your girlfriend. You can still opt for traditional V-Day gifts like red roses or lingerie, but seriously: Steer clear of the heart-shaped stuff this year. Get your girlfriend something that suits her personality and shows you really know her and care about her interests.

P.S. If you're looking for Valentine's Day gifts for your boyfriend, check out our gift guide for him.
