Cupid is going to be one busy little angel soon, because Valentine’s Day is approaching much faster then you think! So it’s time to start thinking of just what to get your sweetheart on the most romantic day of the year.  With the new decade upon us, here’s a list of the top ten Valentine’s Day gifts of the decade.

1. It may be a bit cliché, but there’s a reason red roses are a Valentine’s Day staple.  Whether you go for a single red rose, a dozen or splurge with 2 to 4 dozen, you can’t go wrong.  Another romantic idea is to pour red rose petals all over her home or room.

2. Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory, so perfume or cologne is one gift that will last long after the bottle is empty.  Plus you’ll get to pick the perfume or cologne that they will smell like.  She’ll probably love the Estee Lauder Sensuous holiday gift set.

3. The iPod is the perfect gift for a music lover.  There are many to choose from, such as the iPod Touch or the iPod Nano to name a few.  You’ll score extra points if you pre-program it with your girl or guy’s favorite tunes and “your song.”

4.  Teddy bears are a crowd favorite with the ladies, especially with the Build a Bear craze.  You can use the Build a Bear teddy to custom make your own plush bear to suit your Valentines’ personality or you can choose to pick out one that’s pre-made just for Valentine’s Day.

5.  Charm bracelets are a sweet and simple Valentine’s Day present.  Get a plain bracelet and fill it with charms, each one being something that reminds you of your relationship.  Like a silver charm of a teddy bear signifying the first gift you gave her.  Plus she’ll think of you every time she wears it (bonus points)!

6.  Satisfy your love’s sweet tooth cravings with chocolate.  The chocolate rose bouquet features what appears to be roses, but is actually artificial stems with foil wrapped chocolate buds at the ends.  Go with one that features dark chocolate, white chocolate or whatever her favorite is.

7.  Mobile phones are a sweet way of showing your partner you care and want to stay in touch all the time.  Cell phone accessories like a car charger is an additional benefit and convenient.  LG phones are a good way to go because they are durable, have long lasting battery power and come in tons of different models.

8. A laptop computer is always a nice gift, Valentine’s Day or not.  Laptops are a useful and thoughtful way to go.  Stumped by so many brands?  Why not go with a HP laptop.  They have tons of models with a bunch of cool features to choose from.

9.  A timeless way to show your guy you love him is to give him a men’s watch.  There are all types of watches and watch brands from silver and steel to leather and gold.  A perfect example is the Invicta Stainless Steel watches, which are manly, and durable.

10.  Whether you want to get an engagement ring or not, diamond rings are one of the best gifts to give a girl on Valentine’s Day.  If you’re on a budget don’t think you still can’t get her one because there are alternatives.  For example a ¼ carat three stone diamond ring is not too hard on your budget, but still just as beautiful.
