Get her a box that emits class, not something from the drugstore, and get her a variety box if you don&#8217;t know whether she&#8217;s a caramel girl or more into truffles. <strong>Relationship level: Not yet committed <\/p>\n<p><strong>Dog treats<br \/>\nWhen you&#8217;ve first met a girl, you&#8217;re unlikely to know her likes, dislikes and diet restrictions. You always, however, know what kind of treats her dog (or any other pet she may have) will appreciate. Buying a gift that&#8217;s healthy for her pet shows you&#8217;re sensitive to her beloved buddy&#8217;s well-being. <strong>Relationship level: Not yet committed<br \/>\n<strong><em>Make sure she does own a dog, otherwise she will indeed be insulted!<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Flowers<br \/>\nWhile a bouquet of red roses may be a bit overzealous for a first date, other flowers may send your message perfectly. Do some research and choose carefully; gardenias denote secret love, orchids are always lovely, showing beauty and refinement, while yellow roses mean friendship. Just be sure to order your flowers early because Valentine\u2019s Day can be a busy time for this industry. <strong>Relationship level: Works for all levels <\/p>\n<p><strong>Heart-shaped pendant<br \/>\nPendants were practically designed for giving to new girlfriends: They\u2019re sweet (but not too serious), pretty (but not distractingly eye-catching) and tailor-made to make her swoon on a daily basis. <strong>Relationship level: New romance <\/p>\n<p><strong>Hand-dipped strawberries<br \/>\n<\/strong>Strawberries in chocolate are a trademark seduction treat; they wonderfully mix the romantic with sexual fantasy, without being as obvious as lingerie. Buy these pretty, tasty treats, and prepare to nestle down and share. Or better yet &#8212; make them yourself. <strong>Relationship level: New <\/p>\n<p><strong>Bed &#038; breakfast getaway<br \/>\nBed &#038; breakfasts offer a unique mix of comfort and luxury. Moreover, plenty of B&#038;Bs offer treats like wine tours and nature walks. If you\u2019re looking to underscore the romance in a new relationship, a getaway is the way to do it &#8212; and you will definitely sweep a new romantic partner off her feet with a local romantic trip. <strong>Relationship level: New romance<br \/>\n<strong><em>If you really like the girl, go with this one!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gold bracelet<br \/>\nThis piece of jewelry reminds your girlfriend just how much your time with her has meant to you, while also providing her with something she\u2019ll be more than happy to sport every day. <strong>Relationship level: Long-term relationship <\/p>\n<p><strong>Espresso maker<br \/>\nA gift that gives her one of her favorite treats right at home is thoughtful and kind. After you\u2019ve been together awhile, it\u2019s possible you\u2019ll be spending lots of long mornings at her place and a coffee maker is the perfect gift to let her know how much you\u2019re looking forward to them. <strong>Relationship level: Long-term relationship<br \/>\n<strong><em>Be careful with this one.  If she&#8217;s a feminist, you may get in trouble!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luxury lingerie<br \/>\nThis gift sets a precedent for fun. It is a gift the two of you can share and will bring out the intimacy that your new union entails. On the whole, it is romantic and adventurous without being intimidating. <strong>Relationship level: Long-term relationship<br \/>\n<strong><em>Make sure both of you are on the same page with long-term before buying her lingerie! <strong><em>Make sure it is tasteful and sexy, nothing trashy please.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gemstone earrings<br \/>\nAlthough gift demands change over the course of your relationship, one thing doesn\u2019t: Jewelry will always melt her heart. Remind her, that after all this time, you love her as much as ever. Surprise her and make her feel extra special with this gift. <strong>Relationship level: Newlyweds <\/p>\n<p><strong>Spa getaway<br \/>\nShow her that you\u2019re looking out for her by giving her a treatment package from a local spa, or get one for the two of you to experience together. Either way, you\u2019ll make her feel fresh and sexy &#8212; this gift is straight from the heart. <strong>Relationship level: Newlyweds<br \/>\n<strong><em>I would disagree with the relationship level.  If you are intimate and committed, go for it!  His and Hers Massages are great!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Couple cooking classes<br \/>\nFinding cooking classes in your area will indicate your interest in activities together; you\u2019ll build cooperation skills and learn a new art. <strong>Relationship level: Long-term relationship or newlywed<br \/>\n<strong><em>Again, relationship level could differ.  I gave a guy cooking classes while I made him dinner on our fourth date.<br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chocolates Chocolates are a great noncommittal gift.
