Valentine's Day is fast approaching and there are ever so many ideas that can be translated into gifts appropriate for the occasion and for your partner. Here are some attractive gifts you could choose to make Valentine's Day special.

Heart to heart

The pieces can be used as part of home décor or as jewellery. The Valentine Collection comprises Couple Necklace (Rs. 6,445 and Rs. 5, 845), Heart Ornament Annual Edition (Rs. 3,995), Heart Ring (Rs. 10,595), Heart Picture Frame (Rs. 14,645), Copper Pendant (Rs. 13,195) and Kris Bear (Rs. 4,645).

Time to celebrate

Tommy Hilfiger has come up with two new Valentines Special watches - Tommy VX10 and Camille, which pay attention to quality and functionality, finished with Tommy Hilfiger signature details. Also, Tommy Hilfiger has announced its Valentine's Day offer valid till February 14 (or till stocks last). Under it, customers buying a Tommy Hilfiger watch will get a set of two coffee mugs free. Tommy VX10 is a 100 metres water resistant, genuine chronograph watch, designed for sports loving men. A stainless steel bracelet, sub second track and aggressive numbers in motion on the dial, complement the traditional TH red and blue accents on the bezel. Priced at Rs. 8,995 and Rs. 9,995, Tommy VX10 offers multiple dial colour options and is available with bracelet or perforated rubber straps in black, blue and brown leather. The plain three-hand with date option of the same family is also available at Rs. 5,995 and Rs. 6,995. Tommy Hilfiger Camille (priced at Rs. 5,995) has a sleek, stainless steel bracelet featuring alternating black enamel and brilliant Swarovski crystal links, with polished steel self-adjusting links at the back for a custom fit. The women's watch has a jet black bezel with contrasting white enamel dial detailed by four slender Roman numerals. White enamel and all-steel models are also available. The watches can be obtained at World of Titan outlets, Tommy Hilfiger flagship stores, key watch outlets and department stores such as Shopper's Stop and Lifestyle.

Let love sparkle

Carbon has launched its Lovelock Collection for the occasion. The collection features stylised heart shapes in a combination of yellow and white gold and diamonds. The hearts make an interesting play element, making the collection contemporary and chic. The asymmetrical hearts add to the unconventionality. Choose from a range of ear tops, pendants and rings on display at exclusive Carbon boutiques across the country and MBOs such as Shopper's Stop, Lifestyle, Westside and Pantaloons.

Chocolate phone

You could also think of gifting your loved one with an LG Chocolate phone. It has an aesthetic user interface and its display and touch-sensitive keypad fade out of sight when not in use. The phone remains completely black till the touch-keypad is gently brushed. Once activated, the phone's signature design feature, its glowing red icons, bring to life a hidden full-colour screen. It boasts an MP3/AAC music player, a 1.3 mega pixel camera and video camera... All these features in a phone that is slim enough to slip into a pocket. Besides KG800 Black, LG has rolled out variants in Red Wine, Pink and White. The phone is priced at Rs. 9,990 for Valentine's Day.
