1. "Honestly, just quality time together"
"I would love to cook together at home, eat a nice meal, and stay in to watch a movie. No flowers is fine. Then, we could sit down together and write down what we appreciate about each other, and how to grow in the following year hehe."
- Chealsea, 25, in a relationship for six years
3. "Don't waste money on other things, get me what I want"
"With John [my boyfriend], I'm very specific with the gifts I want, like an iPad or a Dyson Airwrap. But usually if no budget, dinner and flowers work too. I'd rather him save the money and gift the things I want later rather than things I don't need."
- Angel, 27, in a relationship for four years
4. "Plan a date from A-Z"
"I want my boyfriend to plan the whole day for us. We can go to a workshop together and spend time together. It would be so fun to do a painting class together, or do a pottery workshop! As long as he plans, I'll be happy."
- Atiqah, 27, in a relationship for one and a half years
5. "I want to retire and be a tai tai (trophy wife)"
"I want a maid, and I want to maintain my lifestyle."
- Jane, 31, married for five years, together for 12 years
6. "Quality time with my hubby and kid at a nice restaurant"
"Ever since we had a child, we haven't celebrated Valentine's Day for a long time. As a working mum, I would definitely love to spend quality time with my hubby and kid at a nice restaurant. A bouquet of flowers would be nice too. :)"
- Jennie, 43, married for 13 years
7. "I want to be surprised with the most expensive suite ever!"
"I want my husband to spoil me. And I also want a flower from Bukit Bintang. Last time, when we were dating, we went to Bukit Bintang, and there were people selling flowers at the side, and my then-boyfriend/now-husband said 'cannot, we are not halal yet.'
"So, now we are halal, I want to CLAIM MY FLOWER."
- Niki, 33, married for two years
8. "Dyson hairdryer"
"I want the full kit. We talk about it all the time. Dyson hairdryer. I talk about it in front of him, in front of our friends. I told him I would even join him for sports activities if I had a Dyson hairdryer because then my hair will dry faster. I also want LEGO flowers. But he has to build it for me. Because they don't DIE!"
- Amanda, 29, in a relationship for four years
9. "An open relationship"
"Let's see other people... together. You see, if you really love someone, you want to keep their options open because you want the best for them, even if it's not you."
- Lara, 23, in a complicated relationship(s) for four years
10. "Anything"
"Just the thought of it matters so I can be like 'awww you got me something?' It doesn't matter what it is."
- Syu, 22, in a relationship for two years
11. "Money"
"Money is the most practical. We are not romantic. We are practical."

"It's my dream cat... THE WITTLE FEET AHHHHHH!!!"
- Iylia, 30, engaged, together for five years
13. "I want to make my husband happy :)"
"My hubby's birthday is on Valentine's Day so all I want is to spoil him with hugs and kisses and cuddles and love. Bring him out for a nice meal without the kids, maybe watch a movie or go bowling. Hmm... just do things that he likes doing. That makes me happiest.
"But if it's something just for me... then I want a spa day. Alone. In peace. No kids. No hubby."
- Laila, 37, married for nine years
