15 Valentine’s Day Exclusives to Show Her You Really Know Her

Come this time of year, almost every boyfriend is left scratching his head, tasked with the nerve-wrecking mission of gifting his girl the perfect Valentine’s Day present. Not to brag, but there’s hardly any better advice out there than advice that comes straight from a girl herself. No matter the profile of your significant other—the fitspo, the caffeine junkie, the makeup guru, or the fashionista—there’s surely something in this list for her.

1. For The Girl Who Loves Her Trinkets

Pandora Valentine’s Day Collection

Queen of all things coveted and dainty, Pandora never disappoints with their adorable yet fashionable charms. Remind your girl that you know her by letting her wear your love on her wrists, and better yet, add to her already growing collection of Pandora charms.

This Valentine’s Day, Pandora has put together the exclusive Pandora Freehand Heart Collection, inspired by the designer’s hand-drawn heart itself.

In this collection, you can find silver and rose gold bracelets alike, as well as charms bearing playful love motifs such as a ‘love coupon’ and one that reads ‘I Love You’. And if she happens to be a Disney Gal, then the limited edition Lady and The Tramp Dangle Charm is undoubtedly the way to go.

2. For The Girl With Exquisite Taste

Tiffany & Love For Her

Tiffany & Co may be famed for their timeless pieces that almost every girl wants for her 21st birthday, but few are aware of the brand’s venture into perfumery—Tiffany & Love.

Decked in a shade reminiscent of Tiffany Blue, the Tiffany & Love bottle features a classic ampersand logo, symbolising togetherness and connection. The perfume comprises a modern woody floral scent created by perfumers Honorine Blanc and Marie Salamagne of Firmenich.

And if you’re feeling up to it, get yourself the Tiffany & Love For Him to upgrade the set to a couple duo, where each scent compliments the other.

3. For The Sneakerhead

Valentine’s Day Sneakers by Adidas & Nike

For the sneakerhead girlfriend, I’ve got just the thing—or two. Both Adidas and Nike will be dropping their own Valentine’s collection sneakers, and I’ll admit it’s hard to choose between them.

Nike’s release is the StrangeLove Skateboards x Nike SB Dunk Low which features a pink and red accented sneaker that is as gorgeous as it is epic. On the edge of the shoe, you can find Strangelove’s iconic “Heart Skull” logo—grunge with a sweet touch.

Adidas’s take on the V-day sneaker, on the other hand, is their signature Superstar design reimagined. Peppered with heart motifs, the Valentine’s Day Superstars will be available in two colours—Cloud White and Core Black.

4. For The Girl Who Runs On Coffee

Starbucks Valentine’s Day Collection

Of course, no holiday would be complete without the occasion-appropriate Starbucks merchandise to go with it. The Starbucks Valentine’s Day Collection more than delivers with their preppy, pop-art-esque prints.

Amongst the collection, you’ll find bottles, flasks, gift cards, and even a mug shaped like a cute cupcake. If your girl does an unhealthy number of coffee runs, the least you could do to help her out is to gift her the accessories needed for them. After all, we do love a caffeinated babe.

6. For The Fashionista Girlfriend

Pomelo’s Valentine’s Day Curation

Where affordable outfits are concerned, Thai-based fast fashion brand Pomelo is personally my go-to. And take a girl’s word for it when I say that Pomelo always has something for everyone with their diverse range of apparel.

Following the success of their Chinese New Year 2020 Collection, Pomelo has again outdone themselves with their effortlessly on-trend curation of dresses, hair accessories, skirts, and tops—pops of sweet pink, florals, and hearts, everywhere. Doll your girl up this Valentine’s season because there’s nothing like a girl who feels good when she looks good. PS: Pomelo is currently hosting a 50% sale on all pink items, while stocks last.

As part of their Limited Edition Valentine’s Day Duo, Hourglass will be dropping a pair of Confession Ultra Slim High-Intensity Refillable Lipstick in the shades ‘I Hope We…’ (deep pink) and ‘Only You…’ (brick red).

My favourite part of the lipstick? It’s refillable, so we girls get to save money while saving the environment—it sure beats having to throw out old lippies and purchasing a new one all over again.

8. For The Girl Who Knows How To Take Care Of Her Skin

CANVAS Wrinkle Softener & Firming Day Care

The Wrinkle Softener is designed to deliver intense hydration to the derma and to also seal moisture deep within the skin’s layers. This helps smoothen fine lines and wrinkles, leaving nothing but a soft, silky skin texture.

A perfect complement to the Wrinkle Softener.

10. For The Girl Looking To Up Her Masking Game

V-Day Project Facial Mask Sheets

In Singapore’s humid yet drying weather, no one’s skin is safe from the harmful effects of UV—even when indoors. To wit, Marymond has come up with the perfect formula for a hydrating mask that harnesses the essence of the blue lotus flower—a flora that has thrived for the past 1.6 billion years.

The V-Day Project Facial Mask contains 42g of liquid essence, 1.5 times more than other similar products in the market, and promises all-night hydration to last the user throughout her sleep. Additionally, in purchasing these masks, a portion of your proceeds from the V-Day Project products will go towards a ‘Butterfly Fund’, aimed at helping survivors of sexual violence. The V-Day Project Facial Mask Sheets are available exclusively at NomadX.
