Although the Philippines is a tropical country and most of the time the weather is hot, a jacket is still an excellent Valentine’s gift idea for many reasons. For one, a thick but lightweight jacket will be a treat for a guy who’s constantly plagued by the cold winds from his office’s air conditioner unit. During the rainy season, the cold won’t bother him, too. However, a jacket should not only be functional but also stylish! Take a cue from this cotton parka from H&M, which is not only useful but also fashionable.
