Let’s call a spade a spade here, gifting for Valentine’s Day is not always easy, particularly if your partner is not a ‘flowers and chocolate’ kind of person or, they’re pretty bored of that combo by now. There’s no need to panic-buy some trinklet that will merely collect dust on the side, gift something this year that they’ll love, use or cherish always.
Take a peek at my personally recommended top gift picks, all available to purchase online or in Singapore stores:
