　　Whether or not you take Valentine's Day seriously, chances are your girlfriend does.

The best Valentine gifts are those that come from the heart.

　　不管你有没有把情人节当回事儿，反正你女朋友会。如果你想在这个情人节给她来点惊喜，可以考虑感性点儿的礼物，让她体会到你对她的关心而不会想到礼物花了多少钱。最好的情人节礼物总是发自真心的吧。

　　The traditional Valentine's Day gift of flowers and candy are still perfectly² acceptable. Flowers can be a store-bought bouquet³ of red roses or a hand-picked bouquet of wildflowers. The candy is up to her taste, with many specialty⁴ candies being available around this time of year. To add more of a handmade feel to the candy, you can purchase candy made for melting and candy molds at any craft store to make your own candies for her.

　　鲜花糖果这种传统情人节礼物依然很受欢迎。鲜花既可以是从花店买来的一捧红玫瑰，也可以是随手采摘的一束野花。糖果的话呢，就看你女朋友喜欢什么口味了，反正这年头各种口味都能买到。要是还想亲手制作糖果，随便一家糖果店都能买到糖果融化与定型的模具，这样你就能亲手为她制作糖果啦。

　　有时候对女朋友来说，最好的礼物是那些能经常用到的物品。实用型礼物可以是钱包、手袋、皮夹、手机、腰带、钥匙链、个人备忘录、MP3以及香水等等。而且，实用型礼物也可以很有个性，比如在钥匙链上刻上她名字的首字母，或在电脑包包上印有花押字样。

　　4. Handmade Gifts

　　It's the thought that counts, and you don't have to posses artistic⁹ talent to make a handmade gift for your girlfriend.

You could also put a photo of the two of you in a picture frame or make her a mix CD of the songs you enjoy as a couple.

　　礼物贵在用心，给女朋友手工制作礼物不一定非得有什么艺术天赋。像对照食谱烘烤饼干、巧克力蛋糕或杯形蛋糕这种简单的手工礼物就不错。你也可以为你俩的合影做个相框，或者为你俩都喜欢的歌曲制作一张CD。
