Bearing that in mind, weve attempted to find Valentines Day gifts for several dozen specific female archetypes that we hope will at least spark some ideas. All of the items below are on Amazon, which means theyll get here fast. (And check out our guide to Valentines Day Gifts for Every Type of Man.)
