Good to Have You Back
Did you know that over 145 million greeting cards are exchanged every year for Valentine's Day? And that's just in the United States. Worldwide, the number stands at over 1 billion. As for conversation heart emojis, over 8 billion of them flutter across devices on February 14th.
But then, Valentine's Day isn't just a day. It's an entire week dedicated to love. An entire week to show the man in your life how much he means to you. And why not? Dispel the misconception that the onus of planning Valentine's Day entirely falls on him; instead, pull out the stops to make sure he feels extra special this year. One way to do this is by celebrating each day in the weeklong lead-up to Valentine's Day.
Yes, you heard us right. The week preceding February 14th is aptly called 'Valentine's Week,' and significant aspects of caring, pampering, and romancing your loved one are celebrated on each of these days.
On February 7th falls Rose Day. This term is self-explanatory, and you can't go wrong by picking up two dozen roses in the color of your partner's choice. Along with the fresh flowers, why not get him something more lasting and eternal? We suggest gifting him jewelry crafted out of rose gold, symbolic of this special day.

It’s Propose Day on February 8th, so if you’re planning to ask him out and go steady with your relationship, this is the apt occasion to go for it. In fact, it is the most common anniversary date in the Philippines, with couples planning their nuptials on Valentine’s Day for that extra romance. Wear your best dress and spring the proposal on him with a piece of jewelry he can’t say no to! Pull out all the stops and surprise your man with a nice home-cooked meal or dinner at a restaurant of his choice.

We love February 9th. It’s Chocolate Day, which means we get to pick out a selection of his favorite gooey chocolates (and hope that he reciprocates as well.). Chocolate bars, truffles, shaped chocolates - the sky is the limit when it comes to gifting, with many chocolatiers also releasing limited edition packaging to suit the mood and season. We can’t come close to chocolate, but here’s something to accompany it, which may put a smile on your man’s face.
These 14k rose gold cufflinks are crafted in a pattern and tone akin to delectable chocolate squares. Set in sterling silver, reminiscent of vintage foil wrapping, here’s a gift that will resonate with his sweet tooth and taste.
In 1957, when Elvis Presley recorded ‘Teddy Bear,’ he had no idea that it would become such a cult song and also make the innocuous children’s soft toy synonymous with romance. Well, now February 10th is Teddy Bear Day, and even the most pragmatic of us can’t resist giving our loved ones a soft and sweet toy to cuddle as a lasting symbol of affection.
This sweet and stylish design comprises sterling silver and tiger eye beads crafted into a warm, earthy bracelet.
The next day in this celebration of love is Promise Day, which falls on February 11th. Create a cozy and special space setting for you two, like a gazebo or a terrace café, and gift him a personalized jewelry piece engraved with something small but meaningful. Use it to make him a promise that is absolutely heartfelt and fosters your bond further.
Affordable yet elegant, this 925 sterling silver black spinel dog tag pendant is ideal for the man who loves conventional colors and has classic tastes.

February 12th is Hug Day. We’re progressing here from tangible and verbal exchanges to those that are more physical in nature. Hug Day is the perfect time to snuggle up in a movie theater and catch a rom-com. Better still, seal this day with a keepsake that he can keep close to his heart even at times you both are not physically around each other.
Help him find his way back to you, no matter what. Set in 925 sterling silver, this compass pendant with black spinel makes for a lovely medallion and keepsake.
Another flashier gift is this 22-inch men's chain necklace, made from 14k yellow gold. It is a showstopper design and will leave no doubt in his mind about how passionately you feel for him.
The day before Valentine’s Day is called Kiss Day. February 13th is a chance to give your man either a peck on the cheek or a passionate kiss on the lips; we prefer the former, though. While you’re at it, why not slide a sleek and stylish open-cuff bracelet on his wrist as a symbol of your love?
This open-cuff bracelet, made from 925 sterling silver, features black spinel gemstones at the end, adding a glamorous appeal to its look.
A more avant-garde version of men’s bracelets is this 925 sterling silver and leather ID cuff bracelet that will win over any urban man with contemporary tastes.
