Valentine’s Day isn’t all about roses and romantic candle-lit dinner dates, it’s also about appreciating the ones you love around you, whether they’re your partner or long-time best friend forever (BFF).
Sometimes, the best way to cut through the cheesy clutter on Valentine’s day is just to have a good laugh with the ones you love – and what better way to do that than with a punny gift for them this occasion?
We admit that the puns we have are pretty cheesy too, but we’re pretty sure that you’ll both think back and giggle about this silly gift for a long time to come.
Well, strap in because we’ve got these 10 most fastenating gift ideas for you!
1. Shizukesa Matcha Tea Ceremony Premium Kit Set for a matcha made in heaven

2. Skinfood Aloe Vera Soothing Gel because they had you at aloe
If your best friend appreciates a good skincare routine, then this Aloe Vera Soothing Gel makes a great gift for them this Valentine’s!
Skinfood’s Aloe Vera Soothing Gel is especially good for those with sensitive or irritated skin; it’s a soothing gel lotion that can be used to calm redness or moisturise dry patches, leaving the skin supple and hydrated after use.
It can be difficult to gift skincare products because everyone has varying preferences about what they put onto their skin, but we think that Skinfood Aloe Vera Soothing Gel ticks all the boxes as a safe present: it’s lightweight, not sticky or greasy on the skin, as well as suitable for all skin types – especially sensitive skin.
Attach a little card to your gift that says, “You had me at aloe!”

3. Singapore Kopi & Loti Factory Tour for the loaf of your life
So many slices of bread at this bread factory, but you’re still my one true loaf! Instead of wrapping a present for your best friend or partner this year, why not share a unique experience together instead?
Go on a Kopi & Loti Factory Tour where you can discover how your favourite hawker centre kopis are roasted and brewed from start to finish. Then, visit a local bread factory where you get to whiff the fragrant aroma of freshly baked loaves as you witness the behind-the-scenes of how the pieces of bread are made and packed.
At the end of it all, you get to declare to your loved one that they’re always going to be – wait for it – the loaf of your life.

4. Colourful Lithops because they make you be-leaf in love
Believe it or not, the little ‘pebbles’ you see are actually the leaves of a succulent plant called lithops. Lithops are also known as living stones, as their plump leaves make them look like rocks, and yet they are alive and growing.
This whimsical gift is not just for those who have green fingers – lithops need relatively little care as they only need to be watered infrequently, though they do require direct sunlight for ideally three to five hours a day.
Lithops can be used to decorate your best friend’s desk, and they’ll think of you every time they look at their colourful, adorable pot of succulents!
