Have a think: who do you spend most of your precious moments with? Whether it’s time spent focusing intently on work or enjoying your favourite hobbies with your SO, you need a dedicated space for undisturbed quality time. Play your favourite music, light a scented candle, and do whatever your heart desires.

Gifts are an important way to express love. Why not do something solely for yourself as a token of self-love? Embrace the opportunity to move something special from your wishlist to your shopping cart. A piece of jewellery can represent a solemn promise of commitment, while an accessory can symbolize eternal companionship, day and night.

Action speaks louder than words. Plan a home-cooked meal with matching beautiful dinnerware for your loved one on this special occasion and beyond.

Not only does physical touch like holding hands, hugging and kissing promote the relationship between couples, it also helps regulate your mood and relieve the stress in life. Pamper your loved one with a much-needed massage and let them feel the surge of love in the temperature of their skin.

A simple “I love you” can be the greatest affirmation and encouragement. If you are more inclined to express them through shapes and symbols then a heart-shaped gift might just be perfect for him and for her.
