Contrary to popular misconceptions and romantic comedy clichés, shopping for love comes in  various forms. Valentine's Day gifts go beyond red roses, heart-shaped chocolate boxes, and effusive Hallmark cards. It's an opportunity to convey your appreciation to all the significant people in your life––whether it's your partner, your friends, or even yourself (seriously, you deserve a medal). For those, like us, whose love language is gift-giving, we've handpicked a selection of gift recommendations from CF shopping centres, tailored to each important person in your life!

A Watch

A watch transcends the test of time (pun intended). It’s a gift that provides practicality and the luxury of everyday elegance.

Messenger Bag

Versatile for both casual and formal occasions, messenger bags have become a contemporary men's fashion staple, ideal for transporting work documents and personal belongings.

An Oversized Cardigan and Trousers

Slim-fitting clothing has taken a backseat in men’s fashion, making way for more oversized silhouettes. This viral trend, coined as the “softboy” aesthetic on TikTok, amassing over 75 million views on the platform, is a style that embodies showcasing a more sensitive side and a passion for art, indie music, and fashion.

A Waffle Maker

Beyond making perfect golden-brown waffles, this kitchen essential extends its versatility to pizzas, brownies, sandwiches, and more—a gift that keeps on giving.

Build a Rose Bouquet

Flowers are one of the most popular gifts for Valentine’s Day. Add a unique twist this year by choosing a bouquet that combines aesthetic appeal, versatility, and built-in fun!

Fine Jewellery

According to Sender's Valentine's Day spending forecast, romantics will splurge more on jewellery than on any other gift. It’s a constant reminder of the giver; it’s one of the few love-themed gifts meant for daily wear and can last a lifetime, possibly becoming a family heirloom.

Luxurious Skin Care Sets

Luxury skincare is an essential component of self-care, aside from enhancing her healthy skin and complexion. By gifting these products, you're providing a means for her to prioritise her well-being.

A Stylish Loungewear Set

A quality loungewear set allows her to maintain a put-together and stylish look while projecting an image of ease and comfort, perfect for both home and social outings.

Chic Handbags

Handbags are a thoughtful gesture as it combines style and practicality, allowing her to express her individuality while providing a functional accessory for daily use. It's a personalized and lasting way to show appreciation for her taste and needs.

Cozy Blankets, Slippers, and Candles

Create a Burr Basket, inspired by TikTok's viral care package trend, expressing gratitude with a selection of snug items for relaxation. Presents for your loved ones can be this simple!

Bracelet Charms

Following the widespread popularity of Taylor Swift's lyrics in her track "You’re On Your Own, Kid," particularly the line "so make the friendship bracelets," the act of creating and exchanging friendship bracelets rapidly gained traction among individuals bonded by their admiration for the artist. This Valentine’s Day, exchange bracelet charms that symbolize the unique connection you share with your friends.

Matching Pajamas

Coordinating PJs are a love language of their own and serve as one of the most perfect gifts for Valentine’s Day.

An Instant Camera

Polaroid cameras capture on-the-go memories with friends, producing instant prints that are easy to display in various ways, like hanging on walls or adding to a scrapbook.

A CF SHOP! card®

Rather than attempting to compile an exhaustive list of items you deserve, treat yourself to the gift of choice with a CF SHOP! card. Indulge in seasonal candles from Bath & Body Works, delectable chocolate boxes from Purdys, or adorable mugs from Zwilling that you’ve been eyeing. Be on the lookout for Valentine's Day specials!
