It’s not a dozen long-stemmed red roses and a pricey box of chocolates that women get all misty-eyed over when mid-February rolls around each year. True, retailers love to push these traditional heart-day gifts, but most women would be far more impressed by a simpler and often less-expensive gift that somehow touches her heart.

It really is the thought that counts, not that you thought to get something, but that you put some thought into what you got. It matters that you had put an effort to get her a special gift that satisfies her passion rather than the same old traditional gift. Your gift should say that you cared enough to put the effort.

This month Tips From Lips will be presenting different gift ideas for both and hopes it helps in choosing the right gift for your loved one.

The first gift idea is a Petite Promesse watch from Baume & Mercier.

A mini format creates timeless feminine appeal, with a diameter of 22 mm.

A bezel set with diamonds: all the sparkle and style of the legendary precious stones.

Perfectly balanced proportions : the interplay of oval and round between case and bezel infuses the watch with a subtle harmony.

A contemporary form that echoes the elegance and formal freedom of the 1970s.

A wrap around leather strap or steel bracelet. A genuine must-have. The grace of this unique interlinking transforms the watch into a true piece of jewelry. Its characterful signature is expressed in three versions : steel, bright blue leather and vivid orange leather. Three watches, each with a strong personality to choose according to your character and mood.

A dial in perfectly pure white mother-of-pearl, with two diamonds as in- dexes at 6 and 12 o’clock.

A jewelry watch

Grace and audacity, interpreted by a unique double wrap-around metal bracelet of watchmaking manufacture whose brilliance echoes that of the bezel partially set with diamonds. This model plays with the design codes of the small Baume & Mercier wristwatches created in the 1920s and considered as pieces of jewelry. Their air of elegance, femininity and celebration is revisited here with an original and unexpected contemporary twist.

The essence of chic

A model fitted with a blue strap – bright, deep and modern. The wrap around strap and its calfskin with contemporary finishing give this polished steel watch, partially set with diamonds, a very trendy contrast of chic and glamor – all the makings of a genuine style accessory.

Playful energy

A wrap around calfskin strap in bright, spicy orange brings optimism and a bright mood to this glamorous model with an oval case entirely set with diamonds. A precious model that adorns the wrist of glittering celebrities. It boldly combines leather in an ultra-modern color with contemporary finishes and the ageless chic of a superb diamond setting.
