Don’t let the boisterous Chinese New Year music on repeat in malls around Singapore distract you from another special occasion that’s just around the corner — Valentine’s Day.
While many of us have probably been caught up in our preparations for the Lunar New Year, it isn’t too late to start planning for the romantic holiday. Besides having a fancy candlelit meal and exchanging gifts, another common gesture is to get flowers for your date.
Despite there being a plethora of bouquet options in the market, you may want to consider getting your boo something a little more unique than the regular roses and baby’s breath, especially if they don’t fancy flowers themselves.
We have a few options that you can consider, including a very practical corn bouquet, a bouquet made of chocolates and even money bouquets.
Money Bouquets, Corn Bouquets & More Unique Options For Valentine’s
1. Cotton Candy Bouquet
If your partner has a sweet tooth and loves pastel colours, the Butterfly Bouquet ($48) from Cotton Dreams will be right up their alley.
