Heart's day is near and I don't get that giddy feeling anymore. Maybe because it's the first sign of ageing...I think. OMG! Like seriously I am ageing at this stage already? Haha! Anyway, enough of my dramarama. It's just my excuse because I usually don't have much experience with regards to celebration of St. Valentine. It's not sucking me anymore. Promise! Yeah, I know it's such a boring love life thinking that I have a partner. He's not really that ma-surprise or mooshy kasi, kaya ganito ang drama ng lola nyo. That being said, sanay na ako. Yes! Sanay na sanay na talaga ako! Haha!
I enjoy giving advices to friends whose on the hunt for Vday gifts because I'm always a fan of researching for all things lovely, cutesy, hearty, and sweet. All those kind of things make me so kilig even by just looking at them. With nonstop Instagram and Pinterest stalking, my eyes are always in awe as in like busog-lusog sa lahat ng nakikita. So here's the list of my top gifts which I think would give 10K pogi points to the guys if they'll give them to their girlfriend.
1. Flowers
The Glass House Flowers is one I've been eyeing on when it comes to preserved flowers, specifically Ecuadorian and preserved roses. I prefer their simplicity when it comes to packaging. All their flowers comes in an acrylic box designed to serve as a vase and water tank. They have different packages for your preferences or you can also request for them to make specific arrangements according to what you like to have in the box. But of course, don't forget that great gifts comes in great great prices. These flowers are a bit pricey because they are guaranteed to last longer that the usual roses or flowers we buy at the shops. With proper care (care instructions included in the box), they said that it will last up to few weeks to months. As for now, you can order to them thru their online boutique because they don's have a physical store yet. You may reach them at their instragram and facebook page.

2. Surprise Balloons
Who doesn't love balloons? Lalo na when it's super big and colorful, and artsy.
I came across this balloon boutique thru instagram and to my surprise, they are Philippine-based shop. They make super big balloons that actually floats and they may also be customized. Name the color and message, they'll surely have it! They also have different shapes like stars and hearts. Tassels are also available in different colors and shapes, handmade. :) These balloons aren't for Vday only, it may also be a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, parties, and of course a good idea for proposals.
You can find BLLOONS on Instagram and Facebook.
Such a sweetheart balloon!

5. Luxe Sweets
These are the trending sweets I usually see on instagram and pinterest.
They are so gorgeous, you don't wanna eat them! Common to these are the strawberries, they put some chocolate coatings then sprinkle it with dragees, sugar pearls, gold leafs and dusts, and many more. You can also have them in boxes along with many other stuffs like flowers, wine, macarons, and many more. One brand that provides this kind of stuffs is the Aperitif. They are Philippine based luxe brand of grazing tables now providing luxury sweets boxes that you can order for any occasion. But I think they don't customize for this sweets boxes though.
