Valentine’s Day may be circled once on the calendar, but love does not have to be limited to just one day. It shows up in shared meals, quiet check-ins, and the thoughtful home and lifestyle finds that allow Filipinos to show love every day to friends, family, and ourselves.

This Love Month, Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko is the one-stop shop for thoughtful gifts, offering affordable, stylish finds that make it easy to celebrate love in all its forms. Anko Club members can also join exclusive in-store workshops where they can bring friends, or make new ones, to create personalized keepsakes and handmade cards—making each gift feel more intentional.

For a date night with your significant other or friends

Are you planning a romantic date night with your special someone, or a late-night chikahan with friends? Keep it cozy and intentional with pieces that make everyday bonding moments feel like a special treat. Pour iced coffee or mocktails into the 6 Clear Manhattan Hiball Glasses (₱600), then serve your specialty on the Vine Platter (₱800) with snacks in the Vine Chip and Dip (₱800). Add personality to your table with the Mocha Stripe Tablecloth (₱750) and Mocha Napkins (₱220). For your Valentine’s Day flowers, place a stem or two in the Ceramic Mini Vases (₱350) to brighten your space. It is an easy mix you will keep reaching for long after Love Month.

For your stay-at-home and candle-loving bestie

Some 🎁 do not need a big speech, especially for the person who loves stylish but functional pieces that keep life organized and still look good on a shelf. Start with small “put-it-here” essentials like the Chrome Look Trinket Bowls (₱290), Stripe Ceramic Bowl (₱550), and the Glass Trinket Box (₱290), perfect for rings, keys, and everyday accessories.

Add a candle (or two) to complete the gift—whether it’s the Happiness and Manifest Glass Candles (₱350), the Mediterranean Stripe Candles (₱550), or the playful Fruit Candles (₱550). More than just decor, these gifts serve as a thoughtful daily reminder to light a candle, slow down, and make loved ones’ everyday relaxation even more special.

For those who love their coffee and matcha

For the person whose day revolves around a morning cup or an afternoon matcha break, lean into the ritual. Choose a mug that matches their vibe, whether it is strawberry, mixed fruit, cherry, or flower designs (₱200).

The mugs go perfectly with the Wave Edge Tray (₱550) or Textured Edge Tray (₱660), which keep sugar packets, teaspoons, and sachets in one neat spot. Little touches like this can turn someone’s everyday coffee or matcha breaks into a chance to slow down and rest.

For the home chef whose love language is food

For loved ones who find sanctuary in their home kitchens, make their everyday food moments brighter by turning meal prep into a fun ritual. The Mini Fry Pan and Mini Milk Pan (₱390) are perfect for cooking up a nice meal after a long day, while the Non-Stick Cookie and Pizza Tray (₱180) and Mini Springform Cake Pan (₱180) are ideal for those who prefer to indulge in baking.

For the chef who believes presentation is key, the Palm Corkback or Blue Weave Ruffle Placemat (₱150) ensures their meals are not only delicious but also presented aesthetically.

For spoiling yourself, because you deserve it, too

Put together a small reset kit you will actually use, never forgetting to give yourself love every day, too. For on-the-go touch-ups, clip on a Keychain Lip Balm (₱170) in cherry or donut, and keep your daily essentials within reach with a Cosmetics Makeup Bag (₱260). For a cozier wind-down, use a Berry Scented Bath Fizzer (₱130) for your night shower, wrap up in a Cotton Bath Towel (₱490), then end the day with the Eye Mask Star Smily Face (₱190) for a better sleep.

For the playful and creative kiddos

Because the sweetest gifts are the ones they helped make, make the little ones’ days brighter by encouraging their inner artist. Support their creativity with the Valentine’s Bear in a Flower Dome (₱690) or by exploring Anko’s Play and Create and Arts and Crafts aisles to spark their creativity.

Treat your kids to a creative afternoon at Anko Club’s Valentine’s Card Making Workshop. Every weekend this February (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM), young artists can craft heartfelt cards for friends, parents, and grandparents at Anko’s Glorietta, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Ayala Malls Feliz branches.

For besties looking for a bonding moment on Valentine’s Day
