How to Choose the Right Gift for a New Girlfriend

So, you’re in a new relationship and your new sweetheart is the best. But with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, you’ve found yourself stuck with the dilemma of what to get her.

Finding the perfect gift for a new girlfriend in the early days of a relationship can be seriously tricky. Is it too soon to go all out on romantic Valentine’s Day gifts? Should you opt for something meaningful? Or would a gift that serious be a bit much this early on? You definitely don’t want to scare her off! There’s a lot to consider...

Luckily for you, our guide to the best Valentine’s Day gifts for a new girlfriend will help you strike the perfect balance between casual and meaningful, guaranteeing that this Valentine’s is a memorable one.

Low-Pressure Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her

Thoughtful yet casual, these gifts avoid all the cheesy clichés.

Modern Retro: Film Cameras

Who wouldn’t want the gift of nostalgia?

A film camera, like the Fujifilm QuickSnap or Kodak Disposable, gives you and your girlfriend a fun way to capture all your memories together. This gift is perfect for all those lighthearted and playful moments that you want to remember, without being too serious.

Self-Care with a Luxurious Edge

A self-care gift is a great way to tell your new lady friend that you care about her health and happiness. Why not treat her to a soft wearable blanket for cozy evenings at home, a book on meditation, or an aroma candle that burns soothing essential oils? They’re all great additions to your girlfriend’s self-care routine.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Subscription boxes are perfect for gifting your girlfriend fun, recurring surprises throughout the year, especially if you choose a box that matches her interests and hobbies!

Subscription boxes like Birchbox or Ipsy will be a hit if your girlfriend loves all things makeup, beauty, and skincare. Or, if she’s the creative type, an arts and crafts subscription box is the way to go.

Custom Artwork
