K155, XXX, or XOX: The Unexpected Hit for Valentine’s Day Gifts

The finest presents are those tailored, considerate, and enduring. For those in search of an unparalleled gift this Valentine’s, even at the last minute, Plates4Less presents a novel idea.

Opting for a private number plate is a choice that embodies all these virtues, and Plates4Less has disclosed just how favoured these gifts have become. Reports indicate that around 40% of their patrons opt for private number plates as presents, predominantly for partners to commemorate special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, and notably, Valentine’s Day.

The main obstacle for many is the complexity involved in choosing, acquiring, and assigning a private plate to someone special. Plates4Less, however, has streamlined this process with their Plates4Gifts Guide, making each step easily understandable.

The Essence of Private Number Plates

Also known as private registration marks or cherished number plates, these gifts offer a lifelong personal touch to any vehicle and can also be seen as investments.

The Increasing Demand for Private Number Plates

“We’ve seen a big increase in the demand for private plates over the last five years with a 30% increase in marketwide activity since 2017,” explained Antony Clark, number plate expert and Marketing Manager at Plates4Less.
With Valentine’s Day on the way, he’s shared some insights into the industry. He said: “Since cars are more expensive than ever but also more reliable and comfortable, it seems that some people prefer to purchase a new plate, rather than change their vehicle.
“People also enjoy private plates because they are personal and unique, so they can make their mass-produced vehicle more individual and special to them.”

Finding the Perfect Private Plate for Someone

There are a few tried-and-tested insider methods that the Plates4Less team uses to find the perfect number plate. Starting with personal attributes like the recipient’s name, initials or a hobby, is always a good idea..
Once you’ve got the basic idea, you can add in fillers like significant dates or initials!
Things like K155, XXX, XOX, LUV, HOT, 69, TNT, WOW, SX51 or MI55 are cute, romantic and even raunchy, so they help complete the plate!
You can find many tips for gifting in the Plates4Gifts Hub Search Guide, but finding a good partner plate is pretty simple.

Matching Partner Plates – A Guide

Plates4Less has identified “Partner Plates” as those that blend the names or initials of two individuals along with a significant number.

For those contemplating this thoughtful gift, beginning with your partner’s name or initials is recommended. Here are some government-issued plate format suggestions to inspire you:

  • Your initials + 04 + Partner’s Initials
  • Your initials + significant number* + Partner’s 3 initials
  • First Initial + significant number* + 3-letter Abbreviated Surname
  • Marriage Month Letter + Day + 3 initials
  • MI55/ MR MR51 + Initials/ 3-letter name/ 3-letter Abbreviated Surname

*Significant numbers can include anything from marriage years to lucky numbers, making the plate even more personal.

For those whose partners may not own a vehicle or a driving licence, coming up with potential private number plate ideas can be a meaningful and cost-free gesture. Plates4Less provides a platform where you can brainstorm and shortlist preferred plates.

VRM Swansea – Plates4Less is a leading agency in the UK for private plate transactions, with a vast array of over 67 million registrations and a sophisticated search engine to aid clients in finding the perfect plate. Founded in 1997, the company is lauded for its exceptional service and customer satisfaction, as evidenced by its numerous 5-star reviews on Trustpilot.
