Valentine's Day for beginners

Valentines Day shopping for your loved one is easy – who would say no to a piece from Chanel?!

But what happens when you have only been dating for a short time? You don’t want to scare her off with anything too big, or too serious - it’s your first Valentines day so you want to keep it cute but simple.

So for you first-timer guys, here is a guide of some V-day gifts, that won’t have her running for the hills (Girls, feel free to forward this onto your other half).

Nothing says Be My Valentine more than a set of Country Road photo frames. Keep it cool by buying her the frames, and letting her decide what photos to put in there. Or if you want to be extra cheesy, pop some photos of some cool iPhone snaps that you have taken together (the photos don't need to all be you and her, remember when you went for that walk to the beach and you took that cool pic of the sunset? Things like that are all cute memories, without being too full-on). RRP $39.95.


Fact: Every girl has a soft-spot for Peter Alexander. Guys, forget about any type of raunchy lingerie and opt for some patterns or colourful two-piece pj set. Best thing about it is that the fabulous staff at PA, will do all the wrapping for you!




Planning a night away? Or is your girl always crashing at your place? Pick up an uber cute over night bag from Mimco for $99.95.



Haven't been going out too long, but still want to get her something? It's all about Bombardier Designs candles. With 10 fragrances to choose from (my pick is the French Vanilla) you are bound to win some brownie points. RRP $34.95



And lastly, for the guys who just can't resist and want to go that extra mile with jewellery. Firstly, absolutely no diamonds or engraving. This edgy ring from Baby Anything, isn't too lovey dovey as the heart shape is entwined with a peace sign (which is 100% on trend). This hand-made, sterling silver baby will only set you back $86.



With these 5 gifts all under $100, and nothing too OTT, you will be sure to win over her heart...in well...a heart beat....



Good luck!
