Valentine’s Day demand more than doubled for the Philippine unit of Maxim, reflecting how on-demand delivery platforms are becoming central to last-minute gifting and celebration logistics.

The company also logged a spike in personalized deliveries, including handwritten letters, plush toys and engagement rings, reflecting a shift toward app-based fulfillment of intimate purchases.
