Plan ahead!
Keep a list of dates, birthdays, Occasions, anniversaries, etc.

When in doubt, choose gifts that they will actually use. Practical items are usually better than novelty

Purchase a great gift when you find it, even if the occasion is months away

Gifts do not have to be expensive to be appreciated. Gifts that show your time and effort are just as special as expensive ones. Remember,  its the thought that counts, surprise them with your thoughtfulness.

People will order  a gift as close to the occasion as possible. Nowadays, this is very risky (late deliveries, missed deliveries, out of stock etc.).

21 No-Cost (Or Extremely Low-Cost) Ways To Remind Your Special Other Of How Much You Love Them
By B. SixWise

It's so easy, as we race through each day trying to accomplish
an impossible number of tasks, to forget about those we love.
Soon, and often unintentionally, one partner, or both, are left
feeling unappreciated, overlooked and in need of some serious
"TLC."

Logically, we all know that a relationship must receive
attention if it is to grow. Realistically, few of us take the
time to fan the relationship flames as often as we should. But
help is on the way.

Showing your special someone how much you love them doesn't
have to take a lot of time or cost a lot of money. In fact,
it's better if it doesn't -- it's the little things that we
remember most. So don't wait until next Valentine's Day to show
your significant other that you love and appreciate them. Try to
incorporate at least one of these romantic ideas into your
partner's day, everyday (and when you've done them all, keep
going by creating your own, or repeat the cycle!)

Cook them their favorite meal. Have it ready to go when they
walk in the door, complete with candles.

Leave a note for your special other (or tuck one into a
lunch/briefcase) telling them how much you care.

Try your hand at a love poem that includes special memories
only the two of you share. Leave it somewhere unexpected.

Make your partner a CD of "your" songs. Have it playing when
they come home.

If married, have your wedding vows framed and give it to your
spouse "just because."

On a cold day, warm up their car for them.

Volunteer to do their share of the housework so they can relax.

Let them sleep in.

Pamper your significant other by running a bath for them.
Include bath salts, candles, and soft music, then wash their
hair

Give your partner a massage (before they ask for it).

Bring them lunch at work.

Stop to say hello, kiss and hug every time you come in the
front door.

Pack a lunch and take your special someone on a surprise picnic
or walk in the woods. Or, pack a desert and go stargazing.

Flirt with them.

Hold his or her hand.

Bring them a blanket or sweater if they look cold.

Tell them you love and appreciate them, don't just assume they
know.

Create your own holiday, then surprise your significant other
with a celebration. This could be: "Happy 18 days since your
last cigarette," a 2.5-year anniversary, or "I Love You More
Than Ever Day."

Leave a flower and a note on the windshield of their car.

Cuddle for at least five minutes in the morning before getting
out of bed.

Buy them a small, but meaningful, gift such as their favorite
gourmet coffee, a pair of warm socks because their feet are
always cold, a book on tape for them to listen to while stuck
in traffic, etc.
