Give It Some

What’s Valentine’s Day without a somethin’ somethin’ to commemorate it with? Here’s our pick of the coolest, most original gifts you’re likely to find in town.

Veggie Delight

Perhaps your beloved is struggling to fit into that sexy little number you bought her for Christmas? Drop a hint by sending a veggie bouquet from Homegrown Foods. You might get a smack in the mouth, but any health-conscious honey should be delighted with the pretty presentation of four to five seasonal fruits and veggies, which may or may not include cherry tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, broccoli, figs and radishes. The bouquet is $400, which is way cheaper than a floral bouquet—and it’s edible too! Order yours online at www.homegrownfoods.com.hk.

Heart-Shaped Box

If you’re going to go the traditional route and say it with flowers, then you might as well go all out and send over this beautiful box from Agnes b. Brimming over with pretty pink blooms, this box would make any flower-hungry OL envy of the office.
$1,680 from Agnes B. Fleuriste, Shop 110, Pacific Place, Admiralty, 2918-1680.

What a Crock

If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then what about the plates you’re serving his favorite dishes on? “A Curious Toile” is a crockery collection designed by plateware impresario Tracy Hollins. Featuring storybook scenes from the English countryside, the collection is perfect for both western and Asian dining.
Available at Loveramics, 37 Tung St., Sheung Wan, 2915-8018.
