Valentine’s Day Isn’t Just For Lovers, know how ?

The chocolates, the roses, stuffed teddy bears and promises of undying love… aren’t these what Valentine’s Day is about? For some, it’s an excuse to splurge on gifts that will probably be eaten or wilt away in a few days. While for others, it serves of a Single’s Awareness Day – an unpleasant reminder of a lackluster love life.

The good news is that Valentine’s Day is becoming a lot more accommodating, and has grown to incorporate all kinds of love – the bond between a parent and child, sibling frenemies, the connection shared between girlfriends and even bromances! If you’re flying solo, it’s easy to be down when you’re bombarded with images of love and romance, but cheer up! Celebrate the people you truly love by gifting them something eternal…

Sibling Love!

Girls, your brother needs to amp up his look with a cool bracelet, ring or cuff links right? And frankly, they’re less likely to expect a jewelry gift on Valentine’s Day, so it makes for a nifty surprise. Think out of the box and gift your brother a tie accessory or a lapel pin. You can choose from five kinds – lapel pins, tie bars, tie clips, tie tacks or tie straps.

Depending on your brother’s age and social lifestyle, choose one he’s sure to love. Teens or party animals would love one with their favorite football team’s logo whereas if your brother is a corporate honcho, opt for something sleeker and more polished.

A custom made, fashionable and meaningful piece will remain special to your child as he/she grows up. There are several options you could look at for your little one, depending on his/her age. A traditional personalized bracelet in gold is simple, however a charm bracelet looks cute and can have a charm with your child’s name on it.
