V Day Thoughts

I sat down and compiled this list of cute gifts we can make for Valentine's Day.   

Create a Playlist of all your favorite songs, dance anthems or to create a certain mood. You can still burn it on a CD or simply program it on his Ipod/PC. 

Fill up a travel cup with a special drink. Personally, I like the kopi @ IonOrchard food court (not C or O). Certain KFC branches have 7-Up in Lemon Mint (unavailable anywhere else). 

Prepare a jar of his favorite snacks, my mom does this all the time. Roasted mix nuts with garlic or chili+basil. Also try candied bacon (Bak kwa, I recommend Lim Chee Guan with chili oil).

Make some inspirational wall art. Lipstick marks on a piece of paper, nicely framed. Paint on mini canvases ($2 from Daiso). Glue corks, buttons, bottle caps into a heart shape.

For the first time ever, Pantone chooses 2 complimentary shades as its colour of the year, Rose Quartz and Serenity. This sweet pastel pink and blue is more commercial than you think, like this pair of Swatch watches Cheng Shuang Cheng Dui Lan.Bai. It's also the first limited edition collection for Chinese Valentines Day (2500 pieces). I have been trying to track down a pair for myself to no avail, you have to buy it in China.
