Anko’s thoughtful gift ideas and Valentine’s workshops for this Love Month

Valentine’s Day may come once a year, but expressions of love happen every day. From shared conversations over coffee to small, intentional moments at home, love is woven into the daily routines we create for ourselves and the people around us.


This Love Month, Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko invites Filipinos to celebrate love in all its forms with affordable, stylish finds designed for everyday living. From meaningful gifts to creative in-store experiences, Anko makes it easy to mark special moments, big or small. Anko Club members can also enjoy exclusive in-store workshops, offering a chance to create personalized keepsakes and handmade cards with friends or fellow creatives.


For a date night with your significant other or friends


Whether you are planning an intimate date night or a relaxed late-night catch-up with friends, thoughtful tableware can instantly elevate the moment. Serve iced coffee or mocktails in the 6 Clear Manhattan Hiball Glasses (₱600) and present snacks on the Vine Platter (₱800) paired with the Vine Chip and Dip (₱800).



Complete the setup with the Mocha Stripe Tablecloth (₱750) and Mocha Napkins (₱220) for a warm, cohesive look. Fresh blooms look even more charming in the Ceramic Mini Vases (₱350), adding a simple but heartfelt touch to any gathering that will feel just as special beyond Love Month.


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


For friends who appreciate practical pieces that still look beautiful on display, choose gifts that bring both function and calm. Organize everyday essentials with the Chrome Look Trinket Bowls (₱290), Stripe Ceramic Bowl (₱550), or the Glass Trinket Box (₱290), perfect for jewelry, keys, and small accessories.



Pair these with a soothing candle to complete the gift. Options include the Happiness and Manifest Glass Candles (₱350), Mediterranean Stripe Candles (₱550), or the playful Fruit Candles (₱550). These thoughtful finds encourage moments of rest, reflection, and everyday self-care.


For those who love their coffee and matcha


For the person whose day revolves around a comforting cup of coffee or matcha, lean into the ritual. Choose from mugs featuring strawberry, mixed fruit, cherry, or floral designs (₱200), each adding personality to their daily routine.



Pair the mugs with the Wave Edge Tray (₱550) or Textured Edge Tray (₱660) to neatly hold sugar packets, teaspoons, and sachets. These small details help turn ordinary breaks into moments of pause and enjoyment.


For the home chef whose love language is food


For loved ones who find joy in cooking and baking, kitchen essentials make meaningful gifts. The Mini Fry Pan and Mini Milk Pan (₱390) are ideal for simple meals after a long day, while the Non-Stick Cookie and Pizza Tray (₱180) and Mini Springform Cake Pan (₱180) suit those who love to bake sweet treats.



For cooks who believe presentation matters, the Palm Corkback or Blue Weave Ruffle Placemat (₱150) adds an aesthetic finishing touch to every meal.


For spoiling yourself, because you deserve it too


Self-love deserves just as much attention. Create a personal reset kit with items you will reach for every day. Keep essentials close with the Keychain Lip Balm (₱170) in cherry or donut designs, and organize beauty must-haves in the Cosmetics Makeup Bag (₱260).



For winding down, drop a Berry Scented Bath Fizzer (₱130) into your evening shower, wrap yourself in a Cotton Bath Towel (₱490), and settle in with the Eye Mask Star Smily Face (₱190) for a restful night’s sleep.


For the playful and creative kiddos


Encourage creativity by choosing gifts that let kids express themselves. The Valentine’s Bear in a Flower Dome (₱690) makes a sweet keepsake, while Anko’s Play and Create and Arts and Crafts sections offer plenty of ways to inspire imaginative play.


Kids can also enjoy hands-on fun at the Anko Club Valentine’s Card Making Workshop, happening every weekend in February from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Young artists can create heartfelt cards for loved ones at Anko branches in Glorietta, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Ayala Malls Feliz.


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


In addition to the kids’ workshops, Anko Club members are invited to a special Galentine’s Workshop at Anko TriNoma on February 14, starting at 4:00 PM. The session includes a Make Your Own Galentine’s Card activity in collaboration with the Weekend Watercolor Circle, along with an Arrange Your Own Bouquet experience.


To make the celebration even more memorable, Anko Club members who shop at Anko TriNoma between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM and spend a minimum of ₱500 can enjoy free candle calligraphy to personalize their chosen Anko candles.
