A bouquet of roses with baby’s breath is always nice…or find out her favorite flower and send a bouquet of that. I am over 40 and enjoy planting flowers so I enjoy getting rose bush plants that will grow and keep on giving each year. If she has hobbies or enjoys reading how about a gift certificate or gift card for the best store for her to pick out what she would need or enjoy. A gift card for a day spa…massage, facial, manicure, sauna, jacuzzi,hairdresser, hypnosis…etc. any of these or all of the above…and remember a very mushy card and flowers with whatever…and she should be very pleased. The main thing is what does she like? My husband got me a potted tropical plant for Valentine’s Day once I actually made him take it back to the florist…It would have only died quickly (I am no good with tropical)…I prefer a pretty houseplant,or a live plant for my flower garden anytime. So good luck…we can be hard to please at times…

Check around and see what kind of perfumes she likes,most ladies like to smell nice. Just don't buy anything without some research on your part.

This is very difficult I have an aunt like that, I don’t know what country your visiting but if your in Europe get her some of the best chocolates found in that country, along with a good wine or champagne. If this is ur partner then u can save them for a nice dinner when you get back. Hope this helps, best of luck : )

In other parts of the world I think ur best bet it to buy her something the country is known for (art, specific perfume etc. )usually tends to be expensive and nice, at the end the point is that you thought of her.

You could send her a few dozen long stem red roses. It is not cheap and it says so much.

A day at a spa is practical, relaxing, yet sophisticated enough for those with fine taste. You can even tailor it to your spending level. It can be as simple as a facial, or as complex as chemical peels, body wraps, massages...etc.

Where are you traveling? What is your relationship? abroad as in Europe or Asia? You know stick with a magnet and tell her she is always with you everywhere you go. Thought of you here. Also my husband travels ALOT everywhere. A postcard is the best. He drops them to me from everywhere and I put them in a special box. Try getting the box.

It really depends on where you're travelling. Local folk art is a great gift, as it can't be bought wherever you live. It depends on what her taste is (expensive is kind of vague). Get her something that can only be found where you're travelling. Objects d'art are always good.

Well, it depends upon your realtionship with the woman. Maybe take her someplace nice to eat, and a show or concert. A spa certificate combined with a certificate from you to take care of whatever chores and work she would have that week. A massage, either personal or professional. Maybe a tour of the local area, more for the flavor of the region than the touristy things. Oh, and a card that says "Happy 29th birthday!"
