Roses are red and so are luscious scarlet lips and fiery, sexy lingerie.
With just a few days to go until Valentine’s Day, your time is running out to get your loved one the perfect gift.
Of course, you can stick to buying those kitsch teddy bears holding a heart or a single long-stemmed red rose. Or you can put some effort into your gift shopping and get her something special.
Sure, Valentine’s Day gifts can be corny sometimes, but if you give her something she can actually use, while sticking to the traditional colour of love, you’re already winning.
Here are a few gift ideas for different kinds of women. From the ones who love keeping fit to the ones who enjoy creating scrumptious dishes.
