February may be an ordinary month for some, but to all the romantics out there, it is that time of the year to don that creative hat to come up with the perfect gift for their significant other. But, picking out the most ideal gift can sometimes be a challenge, no thanks to personal preferences, peer pressure and budget.

 

Conventional gifts such as flowers, chocolate and a candlelit dinner may work, but they lack that personal touch. Nothing says “I love you” than personalised gifts, so take this quiz to find out your romance language and ace your Valentine’s Day gifting for your beloved.

The Everyday Lover 

 

You believe that every day is Valentine’s Day, and prefer to stay rational and think on the practical side of things. You’ll think about how often your partner will use the gift and how long it will last. Sending flowers and going for candlelit dinner are definitely not your thing. Worry not, we have got the perfect gift ideas for you this Valentine’s Day.

 

Idea 1: A plant in their honour

Plant a flower or a small tree to celebrate your loved one. The great thing about this idea is that the plant will flourish under their care, and represent your growing love. The plant need not take up a huge space in your home – all you need is ample sunlight and dedication. Shop here now to hunt for the best seed, so that when you present it to your partner, they will think of you as the plant grows. Double win!

 

Idea 2: Create a playlist

Does your partner love music and can’t live without their headphones? Here’s one way to endear yourself to them, by creating a playlist of songs that signify every stage of your relationship. Don’t forget to include your song and see them grin from ear to ear. Good music pairs best with a good set of headphones, so click here to choose your most ideal pair.

 

 

The Shy Lover

 

So, you’re a shy one! You want to be romantic but are too shy to make a move. Maybe it’s your nerves, or maybe you’re just worried about how your other half might react. All you need is a little nudge to make this Valentine’s Day a life-changing one for you.

 

 

Idea 1: The emergency gift bag

Shy lovers make the sweetest partner, because they care deeply for their significant other. So, why not show it through action by curating a special emergency gift bag for your other half? In this bag you can include in-case-of-emergency items such as power bank, hand sanitiser, sun block, nail clipper…basically, items you know they don’t carry! Best of all, these items can be conveniently bought online here, at your own convenience. For that extra touch, leave a sweet note for every single one of the item, to let your beloved know you’re thinking of them.

 

Idea 2: Think pre-owned

Why not modify pre-loved item into something meaningful for you and your partner? This way, you not only get to help save the environment but also repurpose an otherwise good item into something useful for your other half.

 

Alternatively, you can shop online and look for items that can be easily customised. Upon purchasing the item, add some personal touches to it, and you would be surprised at the outcome. For instance, you can turn a normal necklace into a unique one by engraving it.

 

The Borderline Romantic

 

You are not the type who will go all out when it comes to romance, but you do enjoy the occasional gesture of love. To you, romance is best appreciated in moderation. While that may be true, that’s not an excuse to not shower your significant other with love. Here’s how you can make it happen:

 

Idea 1: Make a memory box

If you do not mind going the extra mile, this idea will show its true worth in years to come. Source for a nice wooden/metal box online and get it delivered to your doorstep. Put in items that remind you of experiences you have shared with your partner. This could be a ticket stub from a movie you watched together, the menu from your favourite restaurant, a leaf from a tree that you had picnic under, a photo of an unforgettable moment the both of you experienced, a pebble from that trip to Fraser’s Hill…you get the idea. Continue adding memories into the box over the years, and if you run out of space, just upgrade to a bigger box!

 

Idea 2: The book of vouchers

Your partner has all that he/she needs and you are running out of ideas on other ways to surprise your partner. Well, just create a voucher booklet with different tasks/chores you can do for your partner, with or without an expiry date. The voucher can include a foot massage, doing the dishes, picking up the laundry, a movie date, and more. All your partner has to do is show you the voucher they would like to redeem, and you must comply within the next 24 hours. This shows sincerity on your part, and proves that you’re not afraid of commitment.

 


 

The Hopeless Romantic

 

Your score indicates that you fully embrace your romantic side. You feel butterflies in your stomach every time you think about the person you love and you do all you can to ensure your partner feels loved, including going the extra mile to do chores they dislike, or taking the day off when your significant other is not feeling too well.

 

Idea 1: Handmade surprise

Worried that you are not talented enough to create a gift from scratch? Think again. You could bake a cake, knit a scarf, write a poem…just follow the instructions. With the power of the World Wide Web, there is almost nothing you can’t do. A gift that is made entirely from scratch will be appreciated far more than that box of chocolates bought from the counter at the supermarket.

 

Idea 2: Customise a gift

Most of us would have gone to an art class sometime in our lives. Why not put that experience to good use? It is easy and cheap these days to have a photo put on a mug, t-shirt, crystal, key chain, cameo, or playing cards. Consider printing your best picture together on any of these items. Adding a personal message will further add a dash of personalisation.

 

The Love Guru

 

You are the embodiment of love and romance.  Expressing how you feel towards your significant other is a simple notion for you, and you go to great lengths to ensure that your other half feels loved and appreciated.

 

Idea 1: Make a personalised card

As romantic as you are, expressing your emotions in a hand-written message to your loved one always hits the spot. Keep your card simple. Choose the best photo of the both of you, place it in a nice border, and use it as the front of a folding card. The important content goes Inside. Write down when the photo was taken and how much that moment means to you. Don’t be afraid to show your feelings. It is, after all, the month of love and romance!

Idea 2: Cook a fancy dinner at home

The best place to enjoy great food is from the comfort of your home, and home-cooked food is arguably the greatest food you can get your hands on. Thanks to technology, you can easily prepare amazing meals at home, thanks to the fact that you can buy fresh groceries, poultry and ingredients online, from your smartphone. With a variety of fresh groceries available here, you can get them delivered to you within 48 hours.

 

Regardless of your score from the quiz above, we hope that you and your significant other have a lovely Valentine’s celebration and take this opportunity to understand each other better. There are many more gifts, products and services available on 11street.my. Happy shopping and have a romantic February!
