Making a new relationship official after the holidays is usually a safe bet. That way, you don't have to worry about exchanging gifts, traveling together, or meeting each other's families when you're still trying to get to know each other. However, there's one more holiday on the horizon, and it's famously a doozy: A little tradition known as Valentine's Day.

No matter how long you've been together, "V-day" always prompts a discussion. Are you celebrating? If so, how? Do you need a dinner reservation? How much should you spend on presents? And, most of all, who's going to bring it up first?

Navigating your first Valentine's Day as a new couple can easily doom your chances of making it to the next one. But here's the thing: It doesn't have to.

To help get that freshly minted partnership over the line to just being a regular one, I've put together this list of 15 Valentine's Day gifts for people in new relationships. That said: Making a dinner reservation is always a good backup.
