Your ultimate guide to financial gifting this Valentine's Day
Flowers, chocolates, movies, and dinner dates on Valentine's Day make for good memories, but they don't last forever materialistically. Relationships need more than just love to survive; they also need financial security. This Valentine's Day gift the love of your life the financial tools and assets that can secure their future and strengthen the bond between you two. Here are five such gift ideas.
Help achieve life goals with a SIP
Mutual Funds have emerged as one of the best financial investment tools to achieve long-term financial goals. A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a great way to imbibe disciplined saving habits. This Valentine's Day, take a step towards securing your partner's future by starting a SIP offered by Mutual Funds with your beloved as the nominee, or one under their name.
Buy a life insurance policy
Another meaningful financial tool to give your valentine is a life insurance policy. You can buy one in your name and add your significant other as the beneficiary.

Hedge against uncertainties with health insurance
What good is wealth without good health? Given the past three rigorous years of COVID-19, getting health insurance has become all the more relevant.
