Finding gifts for your girlfriend can be extremely challenging, whether it’s her birthday or Valentine’s day. But there’s always a short cut to everything. Unless she’s a different woman from all other women, a piece of beautiful jewelry is always the top choice. But keep in mind, it can’t just be any piece of jewelry. It doesn’t have to break your bank. The best way to do it is to find out her birthstone. You don’t need to ask her for her birthstone, just remember her birth date. The good news is birthstones are always cheaper than diamonds.
Try a necklace with a birthstone pendent. Or a pair of earrings with her birthstone. Don’t try rings, you don’t want to giver her wrong signals when she opens the box, unless you’re ready. Have the jewelry wrapped in a nice box and you’re set for another nice Valentine’s day.

We interviewed 10 single women about what they really want for Valentine’s day from their boyfriends:
Age: 28, Engagement ring
Age: 23, I want true love from bottom of his heart
Age: 39, At this age, something more practical, but a bit fun. Honestly, a gift card to a favorite store would be great. At Bed, Bath & Beyond, for example, I could get something I really needed, yet was “boring” (i.e. new cheese grater or shower curtain), but then I could also use it to buy candles, aromatherapy or other “girly” stuff.
Age: 48, A romantic dinner – homecooked is fine. It’s spending the time together that matters.
Age: 21, i want to rose!!!
Age: 22, rose and real love
Age: 48, One rose with love from my husband (married)
Age: 26, I want to see true love for me in his eyes, and a promise that this love will never vanish
Age: 22, A nice romantic dinner. Go back home and cuddle together on the couch and watch a movie. Then get down and busy (but he does all the work IM the one being pampered)
Age: 19, I am simple i don’t need flowers or chocolate; all I want are cinnamon hearts.

For instance, because I am partially disabled and have osteo-arthritis, I have difficulty carrying heavy groceries to my second floor apartment. I would love it if one of them would offer to do one shopping trip for me, of the heavier items like soda bottles, detergent, etc. That, or make me some food I can just put in the freezer and defrost for dinner when I am not feeling well enough to cook.
