The last minute Valentine's Day gift guide

For some ladies, showers aren't just about hygiene; they're also a way to escape the day's stresses with a little pampering ritual. Omno is that guilt-free way to do so, with inexpensive yet spa-like body care products used by top brands across Singapore. Aromatic sugar and salt scrubs feature natural essential oils, while vitamin-enriched body lotions will have her smelling of lychee cocktails and marshmallows. The brand's knack for alluring scents has also introduced a set of parfums - so she will be farming that aura even as she glows. 

For the office road warrior who loves a touch of elegance, Bynd Artisan provides. Beginning in the 1940s as a bookbindery, the artisanal craft shop has evolved into a full atelier working with premium materials, producing designer stationery and more. The expanded leather collection remains a popular line, with items such as tablet sleeves and lanyards sporting sophisticated, minimalist designs. The best part? Tell them your girl's initials, and they'll stamp it for you at no extra charge. If you ask us, the new Quilted Puffy Leather Pouch and Travel Jewellery Box are quite fetching.

If she's a culture vulture and a design girlie, then the wares at Supermama can do no wrong. Best known for their distinctive visual treatments on local motifs and memes for their products - like the Original Magic Cup - the agency remains unmatched at witty localisation. The Hunter Gatherer porcelain collection looks stunning on any table, its quirky design and Nanyang palette an unexpected juxtaposition. Otherwise, the Singapore Architecture series presents a graphic roadmap in an inky blue - a gracious and elegant setting for private house parties. 

You might not need another blind box, but trust us when we say that this one's a little different. A whimsical collaboration between two Singaporean artists (Berry Winkle and Tasty Toastys), these random mini plushies come with two movable magnets that link them up with each other (or on metallic surfaces) as if they're holding "hands". If she makes you feel toasty inside and is the right chick for you, attach one to your bags and have them cling to each other every time you meet - it's okay to be that couple when it's this adorable.

As local designers embrace heritage design, traditional craft becomes an inspiration for contemporary creations. For Eden + Elie, their beaded jewellery pieces combine intricate Peranakan handiwork in clean, modern silhouettes, and would look as good with an office outfit as it would a cocktail dress. The charm bracelets add playful trinket flair to the everyday fit, while the newest Secret Garden Drop Earrings feature delicate gems that look straight out of a classic tile motif. If you're looking to step it up, head to the Necklace Bar to customise a piece that reflects her personality through different colours and patterns.

Say it with flowers... soap flowers that is. If she has the delicate touch, why not sign her up for a Soap Rose Workshop? No lazy moulds allowed here - she'll be guided by a certified Korean soap artisan to patiently roll, trim, and pinch petals to form a generous bloom. And because it's made of soap paste, this could be a forever bloom. In fact, why not surprise her by joining in yourself? Your paws might not be as nimble, but the shared joy of bonding over a workshop and presenting her with your heartfelt creation is - as they say - priceless.

You normally wouldn't seek the help of another guy when it comes to gift ideas for your girlfriend, but it's okay if it's Soilboy - especially if she's into plants. Their eye for graceful silhouettes and unusual specimens has stood out to buyers, and their designs make these green companions the perfect accent to any home or office aesthetic. The Japanese Camellia Kokedama brings colour to a wabi-sabi space, as does the Ghibli-style Three Leaf Clover. If she's more of a minimalist, the Fishbone Cactus is that low-maintenance gem that she'll adore.
