They're sure to put a smile on her face and she'll be left in no doubt about your feelings for her.

Who doesn't love the sight of a distinctive Pandora gift box on Valentine's Day?

Buy her more than one infinity-inspired piece to amplify the message and create a statement look.
6. Pink Lemon Gin

The perfect Valentine's Day gift for her if she's a fan of the famous tipple. It says 'let's have some fun' but lets her know that you've been taking note of her likes and favourite things.

If she's recently had a baby
The best Valentine's gift for her if she's in the thick of night feeds and nappy changes.

In a keepsake box, the set includes shower gel, body cream, and bedding mist, infused with lavender, chamomile, and vetiver to promote deep, restful sleep.
9. Floral Print Pink Long Tie Waist Robe Dressing Gown

Nightwear and lingerie are tricky territories when you're searching for the best Valentine's Day gifts for her. Choose luxe fabrics and sophisticated pieces that she'll be as comfortable wearing when she's rustling the kids' Cocoa Pops as she will be when it's time for an early night for two. This has soft-touch fabric with a botanical floral print and - our fave feature - pockets! If you really want to spoil her, add the matching pyjamas too.

11. Charbonnel et Walker Truffles
If she has a sweet tooth
Chocolates, of course, are the quintessential Valentine's Day gift for her. But to strike the perfect note with a sweet but thoughtful gift, there is no other chocolate to consider at a time like this - it has to be Charbonnel et Walker Pink Marc de Champagne Truffles every time. And when they're presented in a gift box as beautiful as this heart-shaped one, you really can't go wrong.
12. The True Love's Gift Bag Bouquet
If a bouquet is the way to her heart

The flowers will arrive in bud and come into bloom after a day or two, plus each bouquet is hand-tied by expert florist and packaged in Nourishing Wrap to keep them happy and hydrated while travelling.
How to choose the best Valentine's gifts for her
What makes the best Valentine's Day gift for her isn't so much the gift you choose but the thought that you put into it. The best Valentine's gift for her, therefore, isn't necessarily expensive or extravagant. It's thoughtfully chosen. Still looking for inspiration? Try these ideas...
- Reconsider red roses - a traditional gift on Valentine's Day, roses are a timeless, classic choice. But a simple bunch of flowers can also make a very special gift. Especially if you take the time to find out what her favourite flowers are.Ask her!
- Tread carefully with jewellery - anything heart-themed is a good choice. If you're choosing jewellery pay close attention to the kind of pieces she usually wears. If she doesn't wear gold, avoid it. And if you're not planning to pop the question any time soon don't even think about a ring - or things could get awkward. Stick to a statement necklace or a beautiful pair of earrings.
- It's the thought that counts - To make sure you get the best Valentine's gift for her, think about what she loves doing, how she chooses to spend her free time, and the sort of gifts she chooses for the special people in her life - take inspiration from that.
- Still stuck? If you're still drawing a blank, treat her to something fancy to drink, something delicious to eat, or something beautiful to wear. Or better still, go for all three!
