How to choose the right Valentine's Day gift? - PPMC

For those who need some time to themselves

Some people give a lot, often without stopping.
They put off breaks, work day after day, and rarely take the time to relax.

For Valentine's Day, why not give them a real moment of relaxation?
A booked massage, or a homemade massage.
A few candles, soft lighting, ambient music.
A simple setting, but one that encourages letting go.

And to prolong the moment, a night mask can be a valuable ally.
It helps you disconnect from the world, allow yourself a break, and slip into your own bubble more easily — at home or on the go.
It can also be a more lasting invitation to allow yourself these breaks and moments of respite more often, or to enjoy more peaceful nights.

Because sometimes, the greatest gift is helping someone else take care of themselves.

For those who love to travel without planning too much

There are those who like to get away on a whim.
A bag, a few belongings, and the desire for a change of scenery, even if just for one night.

Rather than giving a gift, why not give the gift of a break?
A romantic weekend, improvised or carefully planned, far from the daily routine, just to reconnect.

A night away,
a simple getaway,
a last-minute decision.

And let's be a little crazy:
the person organising the surprise is already packing the other's weekend bag, will pick them up after work... and off they go.

The surprise effect is total.
And the memory will last a long time.

To organise a romantic day out, quite simply

Sometimes, the best gift isn't a big trip away, but a day spent together.
Take the time to reconnect, without any specific plans.

A hike,
a visit to a city you've been dreaming of discovering for a long time,
or a stroll in a place that's different from your everyday surroundings.

Pack your rucksack with a picnic, a water bottle, a book, a raincoat just in case, and set off without a care in the world.

A gift that takes the form of a moment suspended in time.
An invitation to slow down, share and create memories together, simply, without artifice.

For those who like to take care of themselves, wherever they are

Taking care of yourself isn't limited to one place.
There are those little rituals that we like to enjoy, even when we're far from home.

A night away,
an impromptu weekend,
a trip that disrupts our routine.

We slip the essentials into our toiletries bag: a few products, a brush, our everyday must-haves.
Everything is there, within reach, to make us feel good, no matter where we are.

A discreet gift, perfect for departures and returns alike.
Because sometimes, comfort comes down to the little things.

To slip into everyday life

Sometimes, the simplest gifts are those that become part of everyday life.
The ones we take everywhere with us, almost without thinking, like a purse...

They slip into a trouser pocket, a coat or a bag, and accompany us on every outing.
And then, through constant use, they become familiar.
When we take them out, we think back to the person who gave them to us.
A gesture, a memory, a thoughtful touch that comes back to us, discreetly.

A simple, useful gift that naturally finds its place... and reminds us of the thoughtfulness behind the gesture, day after day.

For those who like to match

Some gestures are best shared.
Not to look alike, but to complement each other.

The Rayé ivoire marine collection was designed with this in mind:
a timeless, easy-to-wear pattern that suits both him and her.

It allows you to create matching, discreet and elegant looks for outings together, weekends away and shared moments.
A subtle matchy-matchy look that creates a bond without ever being over the top.

For those who like to give something to look forward to

Sometimes, the best gift isn't immediate.
It's a promise, a future date, a moment you're already looking forward to sharing.

A ticket to a show, a concert, a play.
Or a voucher to be used whenever you want: an outing, a dinner, a getaway, a tailor-made moment for two.
For the occasion, we have prepared a voucher to be personalised according to your wishes, to give free rein to your imagination.

Slip it into a pretty pouch and this promise takes shape.
Keep it close to you, protect this moment to come, then find its natural place in your everyday life: to store your papers, your little essentials, everything you like to have close at hand.

A gift that can be enjoyed twice.
First in anticipation, then in memory.

For those who like to revisit the classics

A bouquet of flowers remains a Valentine's Day essential.
It marks the attention, the gesture, the moment.

And then, with time, the flowers wilt.
But the idea can remain.

Wrap a scrunchie or scarf around the bouquet to add a touch of colour, an unexpected detail.
A little something to keep, to wear, and to continue to enjoy every day, long after the flowers have disappeared.

A gift that lasts.
A gesture that doesn't end on the day itself, but simply reminds the recipient that you were thinking of them.

And sometimes, letting them choose is the most thoughtful gesture

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be spectacular.
It can be sweet, discreet, sincere.

Giving someone a moment, a surprise, a break, a thoughtful gesture is already a lot.
And sometimes, letting them choose later is just as good.

The gift card allows you to extend the gesture beyond 14th February:
a flexible amount, usable in one or more transactions, valid for one year, online or in-store.
It can be sent by email or printed in just a few clicks.
A simple way to let time do its work.
