Online deals for Valentine's Day

With Valentine’s Day roughly a week away, it’s time yet again for magical arrows and romantic gifts. All those love-struck people looking for a perfect gift within their fast paced lives can resort to online shopping. Though we don’t really believe that online deals help you save a lot of moolah, but what we like about it is that you don’t have to go to a dozen shops and sift through hoards of products—the product reaches your doorstep. Online shopping lets you run through lists of gifts from the comfort of your couch. In India, we have more than a handful of online shopping sites and we have been shopping online more than ever before. With V-Day around the corner, most of these sites already have their Valentine’s Day sale started. We have listed some sites which are currently offering Valentine’s day deals.

Take a look at the sites offering such deals.

Flipkart
Flipkart has some special, lucrative Valentine’s Day deals on the shelves. This seems a great place to shop for your gadget-loving Valentine. The pearl white Micromax Bling Q55 and the baby pink Samsung C3303 phones appear to be a good deal (for her) if you are on a tight budget of under Rs 4,000. For him, you will find some budget phones on offer along with mobile accessories. If your love interest is a bookworm, or even into occasional reading, Flipkart has also put on sale some romantic books, music and movies.
