Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you are still clueless with the trimmings that make this day special, here is my list:
A whiff of fragrance can bring sweet memories to life and transport you back to special moments. For this Valentine, give your special someone a small bottle of perfume. My personal choice would be Mary Kay’s Thinking Of You with its cute, round bottle and a lovely heart-shaped charm that will surely tickle one’s romantic fancy. The perfume itself is sweet and “fruity-floriental”. Thinking Of You’s cute heart charm can be detached and clasped on earrings, bracelets, bags and cellphones. You do not even have to worry about wrapping this item. Its special carton lid opens up to a special area where you can write your love notes and messages. How’s that for a complete deal at P2,100?
Now if you go for the techie stuff, you can buy a couple’s mobile phone. Stay connected with your loved with a set of cellphones from MyPhone. Check-out their 2X The Love promo starting February 11 in all mobile phone stores nationwide. Prices start at P2,222 for a pair of cellphone of the same model.
For a memorable Valentine celebration, set a date with your sweetheart at the Manila Hotel. Yes, this is a five-star hotel but no need to worry. A weekend Valentine package only costs P3,999 with buffet breakfast, complimentary use of the swimming pool and Health club, 20% discount on spa treatments and 10% discount in all of the hotel’s restaurants. Along with other Valentine packages, your stay comes with a praline gift box, bottle of wine upon check-in, and a choice between a a long-stemmed rose or rose petals on your bed upon check-in.
Cash-strapped? They do say it is the thought that counts so I can settle for a Katty Perry song this Valentine. “Be My Teenage Dream” is upbeat and hardly carries a romantic tune but the lyrics says it all. A little less conversation, please, and sing it to me, baby.
