Valentine Gifts

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. I know a lot of emo singles prefer to skip February because of this day but instead of sympathizing with bitter people, let’s give a chance to couples who are in love.

For those who are in a relationship, are you running out of valentine gift ideas? Tired of the same stuff? Chocolates? Flowers? That’s okay. But make sure to come up with something new from the usual love gifts. Here are a few gift suggestions, then and now.

Everyone loves Ferrero Rocher but just like fashion, go with the trend and give your loved one a box of Royce Chocolates instead.

No offense to teddy bears but they’re too common. I bet every girl (or boy) has their own collection of bears given by different people. Replace this idea with an interacting pet like a bunny or a handy tamagochi. Haha.

Girls are usually clueless on what gift should be perfect for their boyfriends. Think of something that he won’t just ignore or keep in his closet. If you have the budget, look for USB flash drive and portable mouse with Valentine-inspired designs. Cheesy, but at least techie.

Hallmark cards are touching and better than electronic greeting cards though a piece of personalized doodle is the best gift note that’s worth keeping…

…but if you include a gift certificate together with the doodle letter then that would be way huhmeyzing.

I think the value of Valentine gifts should be more on the quality rather than quantity (unlike Christmas and birthday gifts). Consumable and practical gifts are better than useless things that could just add up to your personal trash. Kasi kung magbibigay ka lang ng kung anu-anong pandisplay, ibabalik nya rin sa’yo yan pag nag-break o naghiwalay na kayo.

Take it from the expert. Lol.
