Ask Hope Robertson: What Do I Buy My Girlfriend for Valentine's Day?

Style - Ask Hope Robertson

Here are some hints...

Hey Hope - Can you help find a gift for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day? We've been dating for 2 months. She thinks flowers are a waste of money. Her favourite colour is pink. Ideally I'd like to spend $100 or less.

Well, that certainly narrows it down.

Not to generalize, but most girls love cashmere - unless they're allergic or have no taste. I'd pick up this fuchsia cashmere fringe scarf by Sayami. Super soft and squiggly, your GF can dress it up or down, and wear it day or night.

And what girl doesn't love a little Coach? A thoughtful gift, your GF would think it sweet if you gifted her this patent wristlet from Coach's Poppy collection. Large enough to be practical, small enough to fit your budget, this mini clutch is adorable.

Perhaps the most classic choice of all, gift your girl some Chanel No. 5. Even if she already has a signature scent, this is a gift that will never go out of style.

And, with whatever your ultimate choice, do be sure to write your girlfriend a Valentine's note. She'll appreciate it more than any gift you can give her.

xoxo,

Hope
