Gift-shopping for bae gets hard when there are so many options out there. We want to give our significant others something memorable, and something they’d look at and think: ‘I have the best bf/gf ever.’
Strategically, getting them arm candy is going to make them think about you and talk about you more often when they’re out with their friends, so invest in a gift that’s going to announce the sweetness of your relationship subtly. Here are 9 arm candy discounts for the boyfriends and girlfriends out there:
Flowers are obligatory when it comes to Valentine’s. If you’ve already gifted your girl a bouquet of roses before, it’s time to level it up a little. Besides the regular rose bundle, A Better Florist gets you their hand-crafted, hand-delivered bouquets that your girlfriend can strut with on the evening of the 14th.
Tip: Send it to her office or school as a surprise.
The Allison ($68.80, U.P. $86): If you’re the kind of guy who isn’t comfortable with verbally telling your girlfriend exactly what she means to you, let the flowers do the work. Tulips mean perfect enduring love, abundance, and charity. So to thank your girl for being understanding this past year, this is our pick.

With the new year comes change, and for most of us, it’s time to move away from the safety of charm bracelets. Customisable minimal jewellery makes you look very understatedly hipster, so if you’ve got something special that only the two of you understand, now’s the time to get it carved onto metal – in full Arial or script fonts, Tumblr-style.
Plus points to affordability and quality, too, because ModernMinimalist.Co’s bracelets (from $28.50, U.P $38) and rings ($28.50, U.P. $38) are made from stainless steel with gold plating in silver, gold, and rose gold – no more worrying about the woes of daily wear.

Boyfriends who are getting their wifeys Valentine’s gifts, we know that the element of surprise has to come into play. As two people who know exactly what the other is feeling even without having to see them, your gift has to be on such a telepathic level that they’re going to look at it and swoon on sight.
At more than a 50% discount for a beauty like this from Goldheart to match your girl’s, both of you are going to feel #blessed. Shaped just like a heartbeat on monitor, you can say every cheesy thing that’s ever crossed your mind to her: “because when I’m with you, I feel alive.” Because, you know, a squiggly line on the heart rate monitor means you’re alive and well.
Promotion: Additional 5% off gem-set jewellery when you enter the first 6 digits of your DBS/POSB Credit or Debit card at checkout.

If your bae’s more the elegant type, Zilingo has simple, classy designs that bring out her understated sophisticated side. They go with every outfit, and won’t go out of style.
If you’re feelin’ generous, you can get her a Branch Neck Choker to complete the set. No more basic XMM chokers that 31472 other girls have.
Tip: Take a peek at the veins on her wrist before you make your purchase. If her veins are green, pick gold. If her veins are blue/purple, get the silver. If she’s a mix of both, then both bangles will suit her beautifully.
Buy the Branch Bangle and Branch Neck Choker.
Promotion: 10% off storewide with promocode ‘DBS’ followed by first 6 digits of DBS/POSB cardholders.

Move aside Daniel Wellington. Hypergrand’s watches are casual dress watches on steroids. Better water resistance, thicker case, and a less cluttered watch face for that hybrid of dapper banker and high street fashion. Originally priced at $259, you can now get this for your man at $134.10 from A for Arcade.

Girls love getting their nails done. The only setback is the pricetag that comes with a mani, so giving her the chance at getting her nails pampered is going to make her feel like a princess. We recommend getting her a Spa Mani, filled with nature’s solution to soft, silky hands you can hold onto all day, all night.
For the baes out there who prefer DIY, opt for movie themed nail colours and treatments – they even have Alice Through the Looking Glass and Breakfast at Tiffany’s nail colours ($16 each) for hands on fleek.

Polished rings look way too cookie-cutter for your girl, because she prefers the organic natural stuff. Well, she won’t be disappointed with [in] TRIGUE’s selection of rings – boasting the use of raw natural gemstones in shapes and colours only she will own, you can be sure that the ring’s novelty is in the fact that nobody else will have one that looks the same. It also helps that it looks like something out of a Lord of the Rings or Thor movie.

If your boy’s old school and prefers to jot down notes, ideas, and doodles in a notebook, you might want to get him a notebook. Forget Typo gifts when you’re feeling like a baller – you’ve got to go the distance.
