Gift Ideas Under S$1,000
💕
After a series of Chinese New Year festivities, another romantic celebration. For couples who’ve spent multiple Valentine’s Days together, gift-giving can become more of a brain drain over time. Aside from the (now somewhat obligatory) daycaytion, the urge to top off the previous year’s gift is insurmountably strong.
Fortunately, the season of love has cemented its place in the fashion calendar. From bags to shoes, every major fashion brand is creating capsule collections around the commercialized celebration of Valentine’s Day. There’s no real price for falling in love, but here are options for under S$1,000.
Leather Micro Heart Crossbody Bag, by Celine (S$770).
Celine’s identity as a leather brand is not lost in the quality and craftsmanship of its products. The brand’s Valentine’s Day capsule collection is no exception. A leather Micro Heart crossbody bag with a smooth calfskin body and an unlined interior. The natural tan color of the bag exudes an earthy texture, making it an extremely versatile must-have. What this bag lacks (like most micro bags) is functional space, but hey, she can always put her knickknacks in yours, right?
Una necklace from Swarovski (S$350).
Swarovski’s Una Choker is a gift for stylish women. Embellished with the brand’s new Swan logo, the Una Collar is submerged in Swarovski crystals, delivering your significant other’s wildest Y2K fantasies in Regina George-inspired fashion without being too ostentatious.

Editors’ Notes Onitsuka Tiger’s knit bra top has a unique and subtle code for the love season. Rather than reflecting Valentine’s Day with hearts or cupids, it seeks solace in the mundane – reminding us that there is love every day, whenever and wherever. If her style is more athleisure, this will be a preppy gift for your significant other.
heart-print mallorca sandals, by Balenciaga (S$995).
No, these are no ordinary Birkenstocks. With luxurious heart-print Nappa leather and an ergonomically molded footbed, your partner can now rest comfortably in Demna’s quirky world.
Leather Heart Charm, by Loewe (S$555).
In Jonathan Anderson’s eyes, not too much red, not too much pink, or any other color. This celebration of excess is reflected in even the smallest accessories in Loewe’s Valentine’s Day collection. This charm comes in a variety of colors and features a gold dice slot on the leather strap. The intricacy of detail speaks to Loewe’s quality on even the smallest items. Give her one and it’s sure to become a mainstay in one of her existing properties.
I LV YOU BB Bandeau, by Louis Vuitton (S$335).
“I LV YOU BB” is exactly what you should say to your significant other this season. Featuring bright colors and a love-themed spin on a classic monogram, this tube top is perfect for her beach trip.
Canvas Valentine’s Day Card Box, by Gucci (S$700).
The brand’s iconic Monogram compact wallet is the perfect gift for a Gucci girl, featuring bold letters spelling LOVE – a daily reminder of what’s around her.
Ridge Court Sneakers by Pedro (S$79.90).
Pedro’s Ridge Court Sneakers combine spring and romance into one clean sneaker. Inlaid with countless interesting dried flowers, the outsole blurs the line between art and fashion. Despite the intricate details, the body remains minimal, making it a versatile sneaker.
Daisy Sunglasses, by Burberry (SGD294).
These Daisy sunglasses from Burberry are eye-catching. Not only does it frame the face well with its rectangular structure, but the muted hue makes it a rhythm change in anyone’s wardrobe of other shades.
scarves, by Hermes (S$800).
As you know, Hermès scarves are basically works of art in the fashion world. This makes them a very delightful gift, as their vibrant images often speak for themselves, like this Tea Time Medallion scarf. Surreal equestrian and medieval references make for a convincing and quirky romantic image in a fabled setting, giving Valentine’s Day a very Hermès feel.
