When it comes to any gift-giving occasion, my best tip is to start your search early – and Valentine’s Day is no exception. Sure, you could simply pick up a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates and call it a day, but why not go the extra mile with a personalised gift that will score you extra brownie points?

Besides being made just for your loved ones, what’s special about personalised or customised gifts is that it also shows how much thought and care were put into them – making them a perfect choice for V-day. And as some items may require more time to plan, create and ship, we’ve rounded up a list of ideas that will help make your hunt a lot easier if you’re thinking of getting ’em for your partner, BFF or family. Check them out below:

For Her

All the pretty (and not to mention, mostly functional) things that she’ll definitely go gaga over!

To make it even more personal, go for the name-engraving option before adding it to your shopping bag. The best part about these lipsticks is that they can be refilled with a different colour and scent when you’ve run out!
