Valentine's Gift Guide for Him/Her: Against Commercialised Norm

With Valentine's Day coming up in about a week, you might be stuck as to what to give your significant other. I know I am. After being together for a couple of years, what do you do when it seems as if you've given them everything known to mankind? That's where creativity comes in... 

OUTFIT // X's and O's

ALSO ON CHICTOPIA

sweater: sister's (similar + similar)// skirt: sister's (similar + similar)// wedge boots: boutique at Berjaya Time Square (similar + similar) // satchel: boohoo (sold out, but similar) // earrings: padini // rings: diva, ebay (infinity + leaf) // necklace: ebay

So this outfit is basically stolen from my sister's closet. Mind you, she's five years younger than I am, but being the petite person that is me...I can basically wear her clothes :P

Anyway, if you're planning on a quiet (or maybe not) indoor date this Valentine's Day - think bowling and movies, then this is for you! A slouchy lightweight sweater loosely tucked into a burgundy skirt (can't you tell I'm loving that colour?) There's nothing better than feeling comfortable all day. See those little heart cut outs on the skirt? If that doesn't scream Valentine's Day, I don't know what does - love it.

Also, my sister is currently sick at home with dengue fever so please do pray for her speedy recovery!

Valentine's Gift Guide: Homemade Edition

Sometimes, the best gifts are handmade and homemade - there's really no need to splurge on anything! After all, it's the thought that counts ;)

For the DIY-er

one. message inside an egg: 

I find this so cool! Imagine cracking open an egg and finding a little note inside. Very simple tutorial which means you can make more than one - maybe let him/her go on a treasure hunt? ;) Unleash the creativity and paint the egg shells as you desire!

two. erasable notepad:

Choose your own background - it can be a funky pattern or a saying. Put it in a frame and you can write whatever you want on the glass. The best part - it's reusable!

three. crayon hearts

If you have any spare or broken crayons lying around, this would be the perfect gift. Melt and mould them into psychedlic hearts.

four. valentine fortune cookies

A similar take on the message in side the egg, but this time, it's edible! Decorate the takeaway box to suit the season. After all, everyone loves fortune cookies.

For the: Creative Mind

one. valentine day lightbulb

Quite a dangerous task so take caution, but otherwise, really cool.

two. heart snow globe

A cute novelty idea!

three. polaroid pictures

A lovely keepsake to commemorate all the memories as well as a pretty awesome room decor (:

four. sharpie mug

Possibly the easiest one out there - all you need are blank mugs and sharpies! Be as creative, witty and quirky as you want and transform that plain mug into a masterpiece. Google has loads of inspiration if you're stuck for ideas. Don't forget to bake it for a while afterwards!

For the: Sweet-Tooth

If your girl/guy likes all things sugar-y, sometimes, it's okay to give them what they want - whether it is small munch-worthy treats or a large cake all for themselves!

one. chocolate covered strawberry hearts

two. strawberry marshmallow cake

three. strawberry heart pie

four. mini chocolate strawberry cheesecake

Hope you gained some inspiration for what to do this Valentine's Day - whether you're spending it with special someone, family or friends! Love knows no bounds ;)
