Love Month may peak on Valentine’s Day, but for many Filipino families—especially moms—love is expressed in everyday moments: shared meals, small rituals at home, creative afternoons with the kids, and quiet self-care at the end of a long day.
This February, Anko Philippines highlights how love can be celebrated beyond one day, with affordable home and lifestyle finds and in-store workshops that encourage connection, creativity, and intentional living. It’s a timely reminder for moms and families that meaningful gestures don’t have to be grand—or expensive—to matter.

Thoughtful gift ideas for different kinds of love
For date nights and friendship catch-ups
Whether it’s a simple dinner at home with your partner or a late-night chikahan with friends, Anko’s tableware and décor pieces help make bonding moments feel special without being over the top. Neutral tones, versatile serving pieces, and small decorative accents work well not just for Valentine’s Day, but for everyday use—something practical moms truly appreciate.
For stay-at-home besties and candle lovers
For friends who love calm, organized spaces, small trinket bowls, glass boxes, and decorative candles double as functional storage and daily reminders to slow down. These are the kinds of gifts that quietly say “I thought of you,” without needing a long note.
For coffee and matcha lovers
Cute mugs paired with trays for teaspoons and sachets turn daily coffee or matcha breaks into intentional pauses. For busy moms, these small rituals often become rare moments of rest—and thoughtful gifts that support them are always welcome.
For home chefs and bakers
Mini pans, baking trays, and aesthetic placemats make cooking and baking feel less like a chore and more like a creative outlet. For moms whose love language is food, tools that are easy to use and easy to store are a win.
For self-care (yes, moms included)
Love Month is also a good excuse to remind moms to take care of themselves. Practical self-care items—like makeup pouches, bath essentials, and sleep masks—fit easily into real routines, making self-love feel doable instead of indulgent.
For creative kiddos
Encouraging kids to make their own Valentine’s cards or gifts builds creativity and emotional expression. Craft kits and hands-on activities also mean less screen time and more meaningful family moments.
Valentine’s workshops that turn gifts into memories
Beyond gift ideas, Anko Club members can join Valentine-themed workshops designed for kids, besties, and families.
Every weekend in February, children can join the Valentine’s Card Making Workshop from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at selected branches, including Glorietta, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Ayala Malls Feliz.
For moms and besties, Anko Club is also hosting a Galentine’s Workshop on February 14 at Anko TriNoma. The session includes card-making with the Weekend Watercolor Circle, bouquet arranging, and even free candle calligraphy for members who shop in-store and meet the minimum spend. These activities turn simple gifts into shared experiences—something many moms value more as kids grow older.
