Unique Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas Inspired by Your Favorite Films and Where to Get Them in Singapore
February 14th—aka Valentine’s Day—the global love fest that somehow manages to catch us off guard every year. Maybe it’s the post-holiday daze from Christmas and New Year, or maybe time just enjoys playing tricks on us. Either way, here we are again!
For some, it’s the perfect excuse to spoil their special someone with swoon-worthy surprises. For others, the pressure to pick the perfect gift can feel like a high-stakes romance movie—complete with last-minute plot twists.
Think rom-coms are a thing of the past? Not so fast. The runaway success of Crazy Rich Asians in 2018 proved that feel-good love stories with happily-ever-afters will always have a place—both on screen and in the hearts of gift recipients. So, grab your popcorn! We’re about to take you on a movie-inspired shopping spree, pairing classic romance films with swoon-worthy gifts that bring their magic to life.

1. Floristique
The Notebook tells the timeless love story of Noah and Allie—played by Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in flashbacks, and James Garner and Gena Rowlands in the present—as Noah reads from his journals, hoping to bring Allie’s memories back to life.
Channel that same heartwarming romance by leaving your own love notes with an elegant flower box arrangement from Floristique Singapore. Pair it with a custom-designed notecard with a heartfelt message or poem, it’s a gift that’s practically a romcom moment in itself—minus the dramatic rain-soaked kisses.

Knacky
Ordered a pretty bouquet of tulips from overseas (France) to my girlfriend in Singapore. The price worst totally the quality and the service. I had been always up to date during the whole process from the order confirmed to the delivery. Even with a little issue with the initial demand (lack of the original flowers in the bouquet), the florist found a quick solution to the issue. My girlfriend is happy so I am. Thank you for your service, I’ll definitely use it again!
Hans Ng
My main go to florist now! I ordered the Denice bouquet and the purple hydrangeas flowers were fresh and beautiful. Love the flowers used in the arrangements and everything at an affordable price. Floristique was quick in communicating and also allowed me to make some minor modifications due to a mistake on my end. Delivery was prompt and on time too! Would definitely purchase my next bouquet from them.

2. Creme Maison Bakery
Bridesmaids kicks off with Kirsten Wiig’s character, Annie, stuck in a rut—her bakery’s gone bust, her love life’s a mess, and rockbottom seems to have her on speed dial. Then comes Chris O’Dowd’s character, Nathan, the sweet and steady cop who believes in her more than she believes in herself. With a little encouragement (and a lot of charm), he nudges her back into the kitchen, hoping she’ll not only rekindle her love for baking but also rediscover her zest for life—and maybe even for love.
Relive the sweetness of their love story and manifest the feeling of hope with a dessert of your choice from Creme Maison Bakery in Singapore. Like the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, same goes for every woman out there! After all, there’s nothing like food to bring couples together on Valentine’s Day.

4. The Four Seasons Hotel Singapore
In Pretty Woman (1990), love blossoms between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere at the iconic Beverly Wilshire Hotel—so much so that it practically deserves its own credit in the film. Nestled in the heart of Rodeo Drive, this legendary spot remains the epitome of luxury, now as part of the Four Seasons franchise.
For those looking to live out their own fairy-tale romance, minus the shopping spree montage—unless you’re feeling extra indulgent, an overnight staycation at the Four Seasons Hotel Singapore for Valentine’s Day might just be the perfect alternative.
Customer reviews:
Landy Pheloung
We had a perfect anniversary celebration at The Four Seasons, Singapore. The hotel is pristine and clearly very well cared for. The staff went out of their way to accommodate two requests we had and we were very grateful. That, and their ever cheery demeanor made our stay very pleasant. Loved our meal at Nobu too!!
Peter Phang
Attended a wedding lunch at the ballroom. The hall is quite large which accommodates more than 20 tables with ample walking space. The single large LED screen was impressive but not very visible from the sides.
Sharyn Newman
My husband and I have just returned from a 7 day stay at Four Seasons Singapore. An absolute winner! Highly recommend, and when staying here it is a must that you upgrade to include the ‘executive lounge on level 3″. The staff from the doorman, reception, housekeeping, chef, wait staff etc, all did over and above in all areas. The location is perfect, amenities are excellent, and the bed is a dream, pillows are the best I’ve ever had. The Club room, which is what we had a double vanity, shower and bath, separate toilet. The room was spacious, had a great desk, a dressing table with seat and huge mirror, a day bed to relax and take in the view. The sun streamed into the room and it was wonderful to wake up to a view of the city. There are many restaurants to choose from, definately visit One Ninety for a cocktail and sit in the delightful garden. Thank you to all at Four Seasons for a wonderful holiday that will be remembered for a long time.

5. Stereo- The Headphones Concept Store
Say Anything gave us one of the most iconic and unforgettable romantic gestures of all time—John Cusack’s lovestruck character, Lloyd, holding up a boombox, blasting Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes to win over Ione Skye’s character. Fast forward to more than two decades later; the boombox may be a relic of the past, but grand, romantic gestures never go out of style.
Enter the perfect modern-day upgrade: a sleek Bluetooth speaker from Stereo at Plaza Singapura. It’s not as romantic as a boombox love confession from your bedroom window, but the convenience is a plus!

6. Wildseed Cafe
The 2001 romcom Serendipity gave us the ultimate meet-cute, weaving a tale of fate, destinuty, and the search for the one. Starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack, the film didn’t just warm hearts—it also sent real-life crowds flocking to Serendipity 3, Upper East Side cafe in New York City, where their characters bonded over the legendary Frozen Hot Chocolate. Turns out, love isn’t the only thing worth waiting in line for!
Recreate one of the most iconic meet-cute dates at the Wildseed Cafe with your loved one and create your own special moment that can withstand the test of time and destiny.

Delightful place for breakfast. Quiet weekday getaway, with choice of indoor n outdoor dining. Lovely garden setting.
Ray Tan
Little bit inconvenient if u don’t drive. It’s hidden inside Mt Faber. Alkaff Mansion is not unknown to the public. Used to serve fine dining in the past but it’s now a v decent cafe. Interior is still modern chic style. The ac indoors is abit cold though. Plenty of alfresco seating outside. Many ig worthy spots all around the corner of Alkaff. For lunch time they have set meals which is about $30++. Price still reasonable. Ordered 2 sets which comes with a salad, a soup of the day and 2 mains; a prawn paste chicken burger and a prawn aglio. Salad portion was generous. Soup was some tomato soup. The chicken burger was also great! Fillet was nicely fried but the prawn taste was abit lacking though. The prawn aglio pasta was al dente and prawns were fresh! Nicely done! Total dmg ~$80 for 2 pax. Reallly not too bad. Will def return to try other dishes!
Kelly Wong
Lovely place to hang out and have some good cafe food. I liked the pizza! Great environment to come with your family and the wildflower latte was fantastic. Great service as well.

Marie Howell
Returned last week after a 5 night stay as a surprise birthday present. Wow, what can I say other than this hotel is absolutely fantastic, from the lobby right up to the roof top infinity pool. Every member of staff, regardless of their role, are so friendly and go out of their way to make your stay one to remember. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully presented, with all mod cons… Even the toilet is operated electronically. Took me by surprise 😮. I can’t praise this hotel and it’s staff enough, simply amazing.
Dawn Tan
Spacious room, huge TV, bathtub, bath bombs, wireless charging, spectacular view among all things! Complimentary access to fitness centre across the road, complimentary fitness classes in the morning at the top floor of the hotel, beautiful infinity pool! Very pricey hotel, but they do try to make it feel all worthwhile…
Mary Ann
Marina Bay Sands is an absolute gem! Visiting it was such an unforgettable experience. The architecture is iconic, and the views are breathtaking—especially from the SkyPark. I felt like I was on top of the world, taking in the cityscape and the calm waters below. Walking around the area was equally delightful. The vibe is lively yet sophisticated, and I loved discovering all the little spots that make this place unique. It’s definitely one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. I can’t wait to go back and experience it all over again!
