The Only Personality Wise Valentine's Day Gifting Guide You'll Need

For The One Whose Lists Have Lists
₹1995
If your valentine is someone who loves to get their life sorted on paper before anything else, we're pretty sure that stunning planners and fun calendars will be right up their alley. We really like this 2024 calendar from Paperclip; it's chunky yet sleek, minimal enough to carry anywhere, has a soft cover, and has space for everything. If a dated calendar sounds like a bit of a commitment, then you can go for undated ones or journals.
Pro-tip: For stationery lovers, we've got a bunch of awesome finds like vintage notebooks, customised pencils, pastel stationery and more here. If they're an organization junkie, here's a list of desk organizers to declutter their table.
For The Skincare Obsessed
₹5920

The best way to love someone is to enable them to love themselves better, and what better way to do that than by helping them on their skincare journey? We actually recommend making them a DIY hamper of their favourite brands for a personal touch, but if you'd like to buy something off the market, then go for this CSMS hamper from Forest Essentials. It includes everything: cleanser, serum, moisturiser, and sunscreen.
Pro-tip: If you plan to go with the former and make your own hamper, we suggest you do your homework. Here's a guide to skincare ingredients that might be helpful.
For The Fussy One
If your S.O. is fussy, and very hard to please, it's best to go with a safer option. But safe doesn't have to mean boring. A fun and liked-by-everyone gift is alcohol. Buy them a bottle of their favourite alcohol and this set of mixers from Blind Gilt. They have a set of six that includes Appletini, Basil Smash, Espresso Martini, Paloma, Penicillin, and Spiced Margarita. We've tried all, and loved all.
For The One Who Loves Gadgets

Show your partner how thoughtful you are by gifting them this cute pair of earphones to keep them company while they commute after a long day at work or just need to ignore you for a bit (JK, or am I?). Not only do they come in a cute pink, blue and a striking yellow colour, but nine more options! With its fast charge technology, it gives 60 minutes of playback time with just five minutes of charge and comes with Instant Wake n' Pair technology. If you have a bigger budget, then we'd suggest getting them Airpods, or Airpods Max even.
Pro-tip: If you think your partner will like a smart home device more, check out our recommendations here. If they're health conscious but also love food, here's a list of the best air fryers. For home bakers, check out these lists for appliances and bakeware.

If you and your S.O. loves a quiet night in, binging on the new and OG Netflix shows and movies, this is the perfect gift! It's a weighted blanket that both of you can snuggle in and be warm in this cold weather. The blanket is known to reduce stress and relieve anxiety to help you relax.
