Romance is different to everyone. To some, it's flowers, chocolates, and champagne. To me, romance is just someone doing something nice for someone else that makes that someone smile.

Everyone is different. Everyone likes different things. Everyone has different things that make them happy. Since you are probably not a mind reader, it can be really hard to travel inside someone's head and figure out what would make them happy. On Valentine's Day, you can try, but you might fail, and chances are you don't want to spend money on a failed attempt at making someone feel loved.

Have no fear this year — we are here to help. Below you will find 16 gift ideas for all sorts of ladies. So please, stop trying to come up with your own gift ideas and failing. Stealing ideas and succeeding is a much better game plan.

Good luck not ruining Valentine's Day this year!

I know, I know, a candle sounds like a really cliche gift. But Capri Blue's candles smell so good, she won't even care. If she loves home décor, entertaining, or lounging by herself with a good book, she will love this candle. If you want to get more than just a candle, Capri Blue’s reed diffuser is another winner. This thing has honestly saved my bathroom from unpleasant smells, and I recommend it.

If you're not going to get me a gift that costs a whole bunch of money, that's totally fine. Valentine's Day is honestly really weird IMO. However, you can't just get nothing. So here is everything you need to make a very basic (but enjoyable) Valentine's Day package that I would actually want: Chocolates, Flowers (must match color aesthetic of my home, so neutral), Champagne (not Andre, don't be cheap on V-Day), and a card (duh, must be funny). You can even add in some of my favorite foods (pizza, cheese, french fries) and call it a day.

Chocolate - Ghirardelli Valentines Day Heart: Amazon, $23.52

Champagne: Go to a liquor store. Grab some Chandon.
