Fashionable Valentines Gifts

CEBU, Philippines - Valentine’s Day is one of the trickiest holidays, because it isn’t easy to whip up a thoughtful gift at the last minute. Still, whether the beloved spends the majority of his or her time in the office or taking care of the kids, due recognition is in order for everything he or she does for a loved one or for the whole family. Sentimental gift ideas may fill the mind at this time – but nothing says “I Love You” quite like taking the time to pick out a gift to complement the dear recipient’s wardrobe and, well, his or her lifestyle. Here are suggestions for the best fashion-related gifts for men and women:

For Her:

Designer Bag. No woman will complain about this gift for sure. Instead, it’s something she can flaunt and be proud of.

Cashmere Coat. A cashmere coat is a classic piece. But, to make it more practical for her (and make her really happy), opt for a lightweight alternative!

Loafers. If you missed out on the opportunity to gift her with a pair of trendy loafers during the holidays, now is his chance! A nice pair is bound to put a smile on her face.

Blouse. Women always feel they can never find anything to wear, so you can never go wrong to gift her with a stylish blouse, especially if she's a boss!

Wrap Dress. Everyone loves receiving gifts they can put to use immediately, so make her feel her best during your Valentine's Day date night with a wrap dress!

Stylish Sneakers. Just because she is already aware of the sneaker trend doesn't mean you have to avoid it completely. Instead, opt for a pair of sneakers that have a unique style – like the high-ankle design of these SeaVees sneakers – to offer a little variety.

For Him:

Chic Shoes. If you’re looking to steer him away from his sneakers and into an elevated look, opt for a classic style that incorporates a bold twist.

Assorted Neckties. Add a little color to your man’s neck and gift him with an assortment of ties. Nice ties need not be expensive, so you can add multiple pieces to his neck wear wardrobe without breaking the bank!

Lightweight Button-Down Shirt. He can never have too many button-down shirts, and a lightweight linen shirt will offer a casual yet elegant look that will keep him cool and comfortable.

Wool Suit. If he’s into suits and owns far too many black suits, it is good to gift him with items he wouldn't normally purchase. If you want to really impress him this Valentine's Day, a wool suit of a good brand will quickly become his go-to.

Cropped Trousers. The cropped trouser is a perfect addition to any working man's wardrobe. These cropped trousers show off a bit of his personality with either fun socks or bare ankles!

Watch. If you owe him big time, a nice watch is the way to go. But choose something that’s unisex and on sale, so you get it at a good price and use it yourself when he's not wearing it!
