Bitcoin. Lol
I’m actually serious.

Ok, let’s scrap that.
Honestly, a pair of well-fitting jeans will suffice. Because my size is difficult to come by and a good pair of jeans is the ultimate wardrobe staple.

I normally wouldn’t like anything, to be honest, think it is overhyped. And it is mainly for females.
But a simple dinner or meal would do for me, this is me o!
I am not picky if it happens I accept if it doesn’t, no big deal.

I’ve never celebrated Val’s day, but I want investment for Orange Culture haha. If someone gets me that, I will marry them instantly!
And not a small investment – like Lvmh/Kering type investment.
Otherwise, some shoes from Marni or Kenzo.

Hm, I think if someone cooked me a special dinner or
got me something sentimental.. like a keychain with my name on it – something personalised that would be nice.
Jokes aside.
All I want for Valentines Day is quality time with the woman that is special to me because
 time is one of the most important things you can give someone. I once got a nice washbag with my initials on it.
