Treat your loved one—or yourself—this Valentine month with items that would last longer than the traditional flowers and chocolates. Super presents a practical yet thoughtful gift guide for all tastes.
Special whisky
On the rocks we approve of—The Macallan Edition No. 5 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This romantic drink has a fresh and sweet taste of caramel, poached peaches and ripe pear, with hints of toffee, nutmeg and ginger. Serve it neat and enjoy its natural “Sunlight Barley” color.
Travel bags
Love trips? The CabinZero 36L ultralight backpacks come with side grab handles which lets you carry it like a suitcase; it also has a built-in Okoban tracking tag. FX Creations FCB Backpack features multiple pockets and an “antigravity system” which lets you store more without the bulk. Pacsafe Continental clutch bag has an RFIDSafe detail that secures debit and credit cards from unauthorized scanning.
Available at Pacsafe and Urbanize stores.
