You’re tired and bloated while your wallet is getting thinner after Chinese New Year.
But Valentine’s Day is less than a week away and you have to get something special for bae. Where can a thoughtful lover find a decent gift on a budget?
With stores going into post-CNY sales, you won’t have to look far. BHG, OG and Guardian’s storewide promos will leave you spoilt for choice.
Department stores often carry things you can’t find anywhere else, and rare items going for cheap are often too good to resist.
BHG has exclusive labels like menswear Cool Blue which offers “trendy and affordable clothing”, from T-shirts to undergarments.
So if your man badly needs a makeover, you know just where to find the right clothes.
Couples who are making plans to get a BTO can start prepping for your new home with products from Livin’.
These crockery will make great statement pieces for the kitchen even if they won’t be used as much as your Foodpanda vouchers.
Regular items will be going at 20% off and sale items at 15% off, so it’s savings galore across all BHG stores.
The promotion is only valid from Friday to Sunday, 8 to 10 Feb, so hurry and grab the deals before they disappear.
BHG outlets can be found at these locations:
Binging on Chinese New Year snacks has probably caused some trouble for your skin.
You’ll need a quick fix in time for your date on Valentine’s Day and the only affordable solution is drugstore facial products.
If the breakout is really bad, you’d probably want to hole yourself up at home, which will be no problem at all.
Guardian’s 20% off sale only works with a promo code “LOVE20”, so you’ll have to shop online.
There’s no minimum spend to enjoy the discount, which means you can even get those mini hand sanitisers or tissue packets at super low prices.
Guardian sells a wide range of makeup products from brands like Barry M, Catrice and Revlon, so you can skip the purse-burning trip to Sephora.
Just get a few essentials, watch a makeup tutorial on YouTube and voila, you’ll look absolutely flawless for your big date.
You’ll have to register before shopping online, but registration is hassle-free and you get an extra 12% off, which means even lower prices.
If you don’t fancy direct delivery, you can always opt to collect your orders at a Guardian store near you.
The promotion is only valid from Thursday to Wednesday, 7 Feb to 13 Feb, so you can get your beauty products just in time for V-day.
OG’s post-CNY sale lasts from Thursday, 7 Feb to Sunday, 24 Feb so there’s really no rush to enjoy the offers there.
But with selected items going for up to 70% off, you might actually lose if you snooze.
Buying discounted items for Valentine’s Day gifts might seem cheapskate, but bae won’t complain if the gifts are anything like luxury watches from Fossil or Skagen.
The Minimalist Stainless Steel Mesh Strap Timepiece from Fossil retails at S$199.20 on Lazada but is only S$128 at OG. That’s more than a S$70 difference.
There are also a wide variety of other deals at attractive prices so you can find just about anything to please bae’s wildest preferences.
OG department stores can only be found at three locations:
These special promotions are only for a limited period of time in February, so get your Valentine’s gift shopping done soon.

Don’t wait around or you’ll miss the chance to score good deals on meaningful gifts for that special someone.
