What to Give Her:
Give her something to look at
Buy her a digital fame for her desk or bedside table. Format the frame with all your favorite pictures throughout your relationship.
Guru tip: Take your digital camera around town and take pictures of all the local stops where you two shared special memories; the restaurant you had your first date and the park bench where you had your first kiss, etc. Put these photos all on rotation. Follow this Guru tip, and she will always think of the sweet memories you two have shared.
Give her some bling
When giving jewelry on Valentines Day, make sure to pick something that corresponds to her personal style while staying within your budget. For the artistic or indie girl in your life, try Lush Jewelry at Kate Ross.
For the classic girl, Tiffany's is always a lucky guess. Tiffany & Co. offers very helpful employees that will be more than willing to help you find appropriate bling within your budget.
Give her comfort
Instead of giving her lingerie (which is more a present for you anyway…) pick out a wonderful set of pajamas or a sweatsuit. A Juicy Couture sweatsuit from Bloomingdale's is always a classic option. Or try the PINK section of Victoria's Secret at the Fashion Valley Mall.
What to Give Him:
Give him something to look at
Surprise him that evening with something very sexy to wear after the big night out. You'll feel sexy and he'll feel spoiled. Try Neroli in La Jolla for classic and beautiful lingerie.
Give him some bling
Wrap up a beautiful new watch this Valentine's Day and tell him now at least he'll have something great to look at while he is waiting for you to get ready. The Burberry Stainless Steel Watch ($525) is elegant and timeless, The Nixon Banks Watch ($265-350) looks good on anyone and comes in a variety of styles and colors so you can pick the best fit for your man's personality.
Give him comfort
The Ugg Ascost slipper from Bloomingdale's will get him through the rest of winter. This leather topped slipper is great for lounging around the house or for that long romantic walk on the beach.
