If you need help with what to get your S.O. on this love-filled holiday, you've come to the right place. We got you. *handshake emoji*
What to get your girlfriend for Valentine's Day
For the busy bee: The Paper Bunny
Price: P3,850
The Singaporean lifestyle brand is a cult favorite for a reason. Their bags, most especially, are making rounds on social media due to their style, space, and durability. Many rave about how The Paper Bunny bags make the absolute IT girl work (or school) bag. Don't wanna take their word for it? The Cosmo eds approve of The Paper Bunny's Midi Arc so you know it's legit for its P3,850 price point. The Paper Bunny may be a Singaporean-based brand, but they now ship to the Philippines so you can totally get your girlfriend this as a gift!

Canon G7X: For the memory hoarder
Price: P43,098
Okay, IG boyfriend. What would you say if we told you that you can up your status by gifting your princess the camera of the moment? The Canon G7X has been the topic on TikTok for quite a while now—and for good reason. The photos from the camera look really *crisp* and you can share the photos to your phone wirelessly! So if your girlfriend's a memory hoarder and loves taking pretty snaps for her low-key-but-curated IG dump, hype her up even more with a digital camera this Valentine's.
The Canon G7X may be hard to come by partly due to its virality, but a couple of stores carry it at varying price points locally, which start at P43,098. Of course, the first place to check would always be the Canon Philippines website. Their site should be able to tell you stores and branches that you can check to see if they have available stock or inquire when they'll have a restock. Some of these stores include Abenson branches and Henry's Cameras—which offer the Canon G7X Mark III for P58,000.

Penny Pairs Studs: For the accessory queen
Price: P1,799
Is your queen a silver or a gold girlie? As her man, that is very crucial information you should know! Especially when it's time to put a ring on it. She'll be wearing that ring forever, so you better know which color jewelry fits her best. A good way you can find out (without making it v obvious) is by giving her earrings. She'll probably love it either way, but if you give her earrings and get to find out if prefers gold or silver, then you have your answer. Penny Pairs' studs are available in both gold and silver, so you can try this. If she can't decide, you can even buy her a pair in both finishes.
A pair of the Pia Gold Studs retail for P1,799 and you can buy them at Penny Pairs' physical stores and online through their official website.

For the one: Darry Ring
Price: P28,720.78
Speaking of putting a ring on it, getting her a Darry Ring might be a good way to signal your intentions to propose to her. This is because you can only buy from Darry Ring once(!) in your lifetime. The company believes in finding the one, so they have a policy and a special Darry code that ensures you only get to buy there once and give it to one person. They may be a Chinese jewelry company, but they do overseas shipping, including the Philippines.
Darry Rings start at $490 which is approximately under P29,000 as of writing.

But remember, it is always the thought that counts more. Your girlfriend just wants to see the effort and thought you put into the gift more than how much it costs. Happy Valentine's Day!
