This article will provide you with some inspirational ideas so you can figure out what you are going to do in order to have a nice time on Valentine’s Day .

The fast pace of the city makes most Hongkongers busy all the time. Influenced by the materialistic culture, people tend to purchase expensive products to be the gifts for their valentines because they do not have time to make DIY present and they would like to compensate their lover by giving them high-priced products as if the more expensive the present is, the higher the receiver is held regard to the sender’s heart. However, most people forget the best present they can give is their time. No matter how expensive the gift is, it can never be comparable with the sweet time you two spend together so please keep company with your lover on this big day!

2. Give him/her all your attention

Thinking of gift ideas can be difficult so people find an easier solution— to jump on the bandwagon. It works sometimes but for most of the time, people have different desires and needs. Therefore, simply following the trend does not help impressing your lover at all. Therefore, you should pay more attention to and remember the fine details of him/her. For example, if she likes the color blue and her water bottle is broken recently, the best gift for her will definitely be a blue water bottle!

3. Plan the future of you two

The property price rises unreasonably with an unstoppable speed in Hong Kong and it has long been a concern for many couples because most people believe that they had better buy a house before getting married. Valentine’s Day is definitely the best timing for Hongkongers to plan for their future despite the unfavorable housing conditions. According to the statistics from Knight Frank Hong Kong, it is forecasted that “Abundant supply as well as economic and policy uncertainties may drag down mass residential prices by 5%” in 2017.
