Each year around February 14, the streets seem to be full of confused-looking men clutching bouquets of red roses or La Senza bags. If you want to be a little more imaginative this time around, we suggest choosing a gift that reflects your significant other’s personality, whether she’s the low-maintenance type, a flirty vixen or an old-school romantic. Below, our picks for Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her.
188241 Evoke past schoolyard romances with a friendship bracelet. There are <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/bird-friendship-bracelet-marc-by/vp/v=1/1552108531.htm?folderID=2534374302024617&fm=other-shopbysize&colorId=47325">designer versions,</a> but we like this set of two made by Maasai women—especially since half the profits go directly to charity. $29.99.<br />
