Valentine's Day Gift Guides For 10 Types Of Lovers
Roses are red, violets are blue. It's Valentine's soon, you better have a clue.
If you are having the biggest headache on what to get for your other better half, we are here to save you from the head-scratching and brain-cracking process. We have tried our best to put together a gift guide for the various types of lovers whom you might be in love with at the moment. Hope this helps!
1. Music Junkie
"PAIRS" EP - Limited Edition, Take Two, $20
"Wooden Box" JAWN EP Set, JAWN, $25
Soundfreaq Sound Spot Portable Speaker | Wood, Soundfreaq, $169
For the lover who is kinda having a relationship with music too, these would be apt gifts that would meet his aural needs. Bonus move: Whip up a playlist with songs that mean the world between you two, and share it with your lover. This classic move will still tug at his or her heartstrings.
2. Tech Geek
MOD Laptop 2, This Is Ground, from $559
Switch (Luxury) Portable Charger, Native Union, $269
Gold Bar Thumbdrive, Cocoa Colony, $19.90
What better way to make a tech geek sexier than throwing in style and class into the whole package? Perhaps a full leather (very hawt!) laptop case, which comes with multiple compartments for stationery and other gadgets, can boost that. Or some sleek portable chargers or thumbdrives to give them the extra oomph.
3. Chronic Workaholic
Plopsta Bean Bag (Filled), doob®, from $160
Desk Pad (New), Mi Goals, $18.95
I Am Not Demanding Notebook, Epigram Books, from $9.90
If your loved one is always busy at work (and you're perfectly cool with it because you're understanding like that), be the encouraging lover who spurs your other half on, while reminding him/her that you are still around. For the additional touch of affection, jot down some personalised message in the notebook or list down a date with you as a to-do. And of course, who wouldn't love to take a breather and rest on the bean bag?
4. Beauty Guru
Wah Chio Bu Lip & Cheek Tint, Shophouse Sixtyfive, $20
Katman Manly Beard Oil, Katfood, $27.90
Super Duper Nourishing Rice Scrub - Rose Petal, Handmade Heroes, $17.90
We are pretty sure for one to be labelled as a beauty and grooming guru, he/she must have had their go-to products but no harm gifting them more products that can add on to their beauty and grooming regime. Moreover, these goodies are made in Singapore. Support local, duh?
5. The Urban Bohemian
Sterling Silver Feather Adjustable Ring, JL Heart, $34
Jamaica Handmade Bag, Kolombiana, $180
Atayal Slippers (Double Strap), Betel Life, $45
Free-spirited, carefree, holds no grudges - easily the traits of an urban bohemian. You can gift these to help them dress closer to who they truly are, for the bohemian in them.
6. The Homebody
Love Type Light, Love Struck Homewares, $329
Unicorn Friendly Wall Decal, Made of Sundays, $57.90
White Pagoda Scented Candle, SCENE SHANG, $59.90
Home is where the heart is and we understand why some people would just wanna be home all day errday. So for those of you who have found love in a homebody, you can do them a big favour and dress up this special space. A scent both of you like, an inside joke that a decal speaks for you, or even just a light to simply, and cheesily, say, "You light up my life."
7. The Literary Maniac
Objections of Affection, Math Paper Press, $16
A Little Writing A Day - Pencil, The Little by Little Co., from $1.10
Bynd Jotter With Leather Jacket, Bynd Artisan, $50
What to gift an aspiring writer (apart from this amazing relationship that you two created) will be books and tools to remind him/her to pursue what he/she loves. Read more, write more.
8. The Trendsetter
Square Copper Tray, Mimesa, $65
Rosenight Necklace, JXKL, $49
Round Marble Tray, Comme Home, from $79
For someone who spots lifestyle trends way ahead of everyone else, these gifts are definitely worth of your consideration. Plus they serve well as props for Instagram photos.
9. The Foodie
Yummy Chocolate Doughnut Bean Bag, Woouf!, from $150
168G Bak Kwa T-shirt, Statement, $30
Noodles Poster, Shu Han Lee, $150
Gifting food can be tricky because what tastes heavenly to you might be disappointing to the recipient. To play safe, why not give some food-inspired bean bags, prints or even t-shirts?
10. The Art Collector
Children of Street Art Print, Patrice Ganda, $130
Bad Ass Vase, Kult3D, $48
Donut Cat Art Print, Inky Cat Studio, from $35
Declare your love with art. For the extra brownie points, find a nice and suitable frame that would complement his/her space.
