Ahh, Valentine's Day. The one day of the year when lovers scramble for the perfect gift for their partner. Rows of streetside florists pop on every corner, with long, snaking queues of hopeless romantics hoping to win over the apple of their eye with beautiful bouquets of red roses, chocolates, and other Valentine's Day staples.
Nothing screams "I love you" more than any of these gifts. But what about new Valentine's Day gift ideas that actually involve something other than the all-too-familiar roses and chocolates?
This February 14, why not show just how much your woman means to you with exquisitely unique Valentine's Day gifts? From cloud curlers and silk pillowcases to volumiser brushes, you're sure to make her Valentine's Day gift last longer than a week.
1. Scrunchies
Give your significant other a reason to appreciate you this February 14 with a Valentine's Day gift that she'll be able to use daily: scrunchies!
If your girlfriend or wife has long hair and is fond of styling their hair in many zany ways, silky-smooth scrunchies that can give her the perfect curls are the way to go. This is a gift they’d definitely love and use daily.
Fii Beauty's Cloud Curler is the hair beauty product that took Singapore by storm and was sold out within 3 days of launch. This is the essential scrunchie that's a must-have for women wherever they go. It comes in thick and thin curling sizes, ideal for those who want to achieve big or medium curls/waves.
These are easily the best scrunchie curlers on the market. They're made of 100% mulberry silk for frizz-free hair. These curlers' silky smooth fabric also ensures effortless styling, wherever and wherever.
Choose from over 6 available styles and colours! You could even go with the Fii Cloud Curler - Original Curling Scrunchie Mega Pack bundle and save up to $39!
2. Silk Pillowcase
If your girlfriend or wife has been complaining about losing or dropping hair, pillowcases are as practical as they can get. Upgrade your partner's old cotton pillowcase with something softer and gentler with the Fii CloudSleep Hydrating Silk Pillowcase. This is another crowd favourite of ladies with long hair. You’ll be gifting her a soothing sleep on cooling silk and silkier hair in the mornings.
Made with mulberry silk, these pillowcases offer natural moisturising and absorption. It also helps reduce friction and fine lines, ensuring you both get the beauty sleep you deserve.
Real silk is known to reduce hair loss too. If your partner frequently comments about the amount of hair she wakes up too on her pillow, it's time to give her a pillowcase upgrade.
These silk pillowcases come in two muted shades of white and black. Buy the twin pack or complement your silk pillowcase with a scrunchie by purchasing the Twin Fii Cloud Curler Hair Hydrating Silk Pillowcase Bundle, now on sale for just $125.60.

This Fii Volumizer S Brush is designed to add volume and life to a head full of hair. Plus, it comes in a cute chic colour and a handy mirror — so your partner looks lovely and stylish wherever they go.
5. Box Of Assorted Luxury Chocolates
We know we said not to give your partner a box of chocolates this Valentine's Day, but hear us out. Give her a box of luxury and artisanal chocolates you won't find in any typical grocery store. Not those run-of-the-mill milk chocolate bars. We're talking handmade chocolates straight from local chocolatiers in Singapore.
Lemuel Chocolate's Valentine's Day series features chocolate bonbons in three delicious designs: Sweetheart (pink-coloured, heart-shaped bonbon), Berry in Love (purple-coloured, lip-shaped bonbon), and Rose (white-coloured, flower dome-shaped bonbon garnished with a dried rose petal).
There are also tons of other local chocolatiers with a little bit of everything for Valentine's Day. From Leela's Fine Chocolates' signature European couverture bites to the Dark Gallery's stylish bonbons, sweet moments can be made even sweeter.
6. Jewelry
Are you still scrambling for the perfect Valentine's Day gift? You can never go wrong with jewellery. A diamond-studded ring or an 18k gold necklace is just the gift to show your commitment to your partner.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and it certainly is, with the Swarovski Matrix Pendant. Its cute heart-shaped design is adorned with different cuts of clear stones, all coated in rhodium. Definitely an excellent choice for Valentine's Day.
6. Flowers
Of course, there's nothing wrong with sticking to the basics and gifting Valentine's Day flowers to your significant other. There's a reason flowers have stood the test of time and why they remain a reliable Valentine's Day fixture.

Giving flowers on Valentine's Day doesn't have to be boring. Sometimes, all it takes is a little twist to keep the romantic spark alive.
Instead of flower bouquets, try gifting your partner a special glass dome arrangement this Valentine's Day! Select local florists like Petite Fleur offer multiple flower dome varieties featuring an assortment of preserved flowers, cute lights and sounds, and stunning designs.
Each glass dome is more unique than the last and will warm the heart of its recipient.
9. Staycation At A Five-Star Hotel
Ladies, we all know just how much we expect the men to make an effort every Valentine's Day. Why don't we return the favour this time around? After all, they deserve some TLC too!
Celebrate Valentine's Day this year by booking one or two nights at a luxury, 5-star hotel in Singapore! Let your boyfriend or husband spend some downtime taking laps in infinity pools or sweating buckets in fully-furnished gyms. Trust us: they'll love you for it.
