20 Best Girlfriend Valentine's Day Gift Ideas 2018 | What Do I Get My Girlfriend For Valentine's Day?
Congratulations, friend. You made it out of holiday shopping alive! Those winter holidays are behind you and the pressure is off. Take a moment, relish this...
Okay, it's over. Because Valentine's Day is approaching -- fast. Don't become victim to cliché gifts like flowers and chocolate. Get your girlfriend a Valentine's Day gift she actually wants.
Of course, there's a lot of hurdles you have to jump through, especially when it comes to V-Day.
Does your significant other claim that Valentine's day is meaningless and you should show your love every day of the year? True -- but they probably still want a gift. How do I know? Because I say the same thing.
Did you just start dating? Or have you been together for a long time? You can't buy a diamond for the girl you met on Tinder three weeks ago, just like you can't order an Edible Arrangement and hope for the best when it comes to someone you've been dating for seven years.
Don't fret. Here is a complete gift guide to make your Valentine's day special and stress free. How do I know what your girlfriend wants? Because I am a girl who dates girls -- I'm basically double qualified. Here's the best girlfriend Valentine's Day gift ideas for 2018!

Order it at Amazon for $9.66.
2. For The Memory Keeper
Is your girlfriend obsessed with documenting all of your adventures together?
This tiny Polaroid Cube captures HD video at 1080p and will be ideal for all of your many voyages together. It's a little more permanent than Snapchat, and so, hopefully, is your relationship.

Show your Friends loving boo that you're each other's lobsters and you want to hold her tiny claw for the rest of your lives.

4. For The Person Struck By Cupid's Arrow
It's a pretty violent concept: a cherub in a diaper slinging you full of arrows in the name of love. Yet, here we are.
These rings are made with brass plated gold and are adjustable, just in case you don't know bae's ring size.
Buy it on Amazon for $8.41!
5. For Someone Fine AF
If your girl isn't one for heartfelt gifts but loves to cuddle some felt while being told she's cute AF, you're in luck.
Cop this bear STAT.
6. For The Sentimental Soul
If you want to give someone a touching gift, but you don't want to show how truly soft your soul really is, feel free to fill in this book.
It offers simple prompts like "What I like most about you is _____." The answer is butt.

7. For The Road Warrior
Is your girl constantly on the go for work? Help her out by buying her this fashionable laptop case. The little felt pouch is also perfect for her phone, mouse, or any wires she has hangin' about.
8. For The New Relationship
If you've just started to date someone but you want to take it to the next level, get her this sweet pin.
DID YOU KNOW OTTERS HOLD HANDS WHILE THEY SLEEP SO THEY DONT'T FLOAT AWAY? How adorable. Just like you, in your new relationship. You're probably still spooning each other all night instead of pushing the sweaty person away.

9. For The Moon Of Your Life
There's no better way to say "You're the moon of my life, my sun and my stars" then this bad ass moon night light.

10. For Your Perfect Match
Don't be embarrassed if you met your bae by swiping right. Most people do nowadays, in fact, I haven't met a person in real life in eight years.
You can even customize the name on the lid and the smell you want. Sadly, like most of my Tinder dates, there is nothing that smells like "loneliness and desperation," just stuff like Mexican Hot Chocolate.
11. For The Cheese Lover
True story: when I first went to my SO's place I saw that she had an entire drawer in her refrigerator dedicated to cheese. I knew I wanted her to be my wife -- I'm still trying to trick her into marrying my hobgoblin ass as we speak.
If your girlfriend is a cheese connoisseur or a charcuterie master, this marble lazy Susan is pretty legit platter for it all.
Buy it on Amazon for $24.99!
12. For Your Travel Companion
Say that you wouldn't want to travel with anyone else with beautiful luggage.
Bonus: you can throw your stuff in it too, just like you make her carry your stuff in her purse all the time.
