Gifts for Good Girlfriends on Valentine's Day

When you are trying to figure out what would be a really great gift for your wonderful girlfriend, you will probably instantly think of clothes and diamonds, right? But there are other things you can get her; meaningful gifts, that won't empty your bank account.

Here are some very specific practical gifts that will make your girlfriend swoon!

A Car Detailing

Men love their cars; women drive them! Of course with a few exceptions. You'll rarely find a woman who takes the time out to wash, wax, and clean out her car on a regular basis. You might find compacts, tampons, and eyelashes strewn all over the floor of your girlfriends' car and wonder how the heck does she do it? How does she drive amongst all the filth?

So why not treat your girlfriend's car to a full wash and detailing? They'll get rid of all that junk, wipe down the interior and exterior, vacuum the carpets, and get all the sticky gunk from the crevices. Once your girlfriend sits in her newly detailed car and feels that fresh clean feeling while driving, maybe she'll take more pride in keeping her car neat. A good car detail will cost you about $80 - $100.

Extra Closet Space

Have you ever heard your girlfriend complain about not having enough closet space? Probably daily. Well you can do one of two things to resolve this situation for her. And when you do, you will probably quickly earn the title of BBE (Best Boyfriend Ever!)

If you are somewhat handy and don't mind hanging out in Home Depot you can build your girlfriend an annex closet. This will only work if your girlfriend has enough room in her bedroom. Pull out the drill, nails, plywood, and paint and get to work. This will be a gift that she'll never forget because it was made with your own two hands, and can be used everyday. If you don't know a Philips from a flat head screw driver, you can get her a closet that's already built. They even have full closets for just $40.

Glamour Photo Shoot

Your girl probably takes photos on her camera or phone all the time to paste on Facebook, but has she ever had a full model make over and glamour photo shoot? And I'm not talking about one of those cheesy mall model shoots. Go to craigslist and find a professional photographer who has a great studio complete with backdrops and high quality lights. Get her a make up artist and hair stylist, and tell her to choose her five best outfits for the shoot. She will probably be thrilled at the chance to have the full model treatment, and go away with professionally retouched glamour photos that she can place on her Facebook and treasure for years to come. Talk about a self-esteem boost! You can get all of this done (2-3 hour photo shoot, make up artist and hair stylist) for under $200 if you shop around, but don't compromise too much on quality.

The key to great gift giving is to give your intended something that she can use everyday or something that she can hold near and dear for years down the line. Hopefully this list of gifts for good girlfriends has at least helped you brainstorm some great ideas of your own that are outside of the norm.
