For your girlfriend who loves traditional cooking and baking, there are several heartfelt and thoughtful gift ideas that you can consider for Valentine's Day.

2. Cooking Class: Surprise her with a cooking class where she can learn to prepare new traditional recipes or broaden her culinary skills. It could be a one-day workshop or a series of classes, depending on her interests and availability.

3. Personalized Apron: Gift her a personalized apron that reflects her personality and passion for cooking. You can have her name or a special message embroidered on it, adding a sentimental touch.

4. Baking Tools and Utensils: Upgrade her baking gear by gifting high-quality and professional baking tools such as a stand mixer, silicone baking mats, or a set of stainless steel measuring spoons. These practical gifts can enhance her baking experience.

6. Kitchen Gadgets: Consider unique kitchen gadgets that can make her cooking and baking experiences even more enjoyable. For example, a pasta maker, a cast-iron dutch oven, or a KitchenAid attachment for making fresh pasta.

7. Handwritten Recipe Box: Create a sentimental gift by collecting her favorite traditional recipes from your own collection or by asking her family and friends. Handwrite each recipe and compile them in a beautifully decorated recipe box.

8. Food Subscription Box: Surprise her with a subscription to a food box service that delivers traditional and gourmet ingredients or baking kits directly to her doorstep. This can provide her with a regular dose of inspiration and help her explore new flavors.
