With us rapidly approaching a year since Covid-19 reached our shores, we need something to look forward to more than ever. That’s why Valentines feels like it could be extra special this year.
For many of us, it’s likely that we are missing friends and family, so why not make this occasion less about romance and more about love in 2021?
We’re all familiar now with Galentines, so take this opportunity to make someone feel special, be it your Mam, your Granny, your sister, or your best friend.
There are loads of thoughtful gifts you can send their way, and better still, they’re all Irish.
Patchouli and Rose Geranium; €23
A nice candle is a gift you can send to pretty much anybody, and we love these from Clean Slate Candles. For Valentines, the Patchouli and Rose Geranium scent could be a nice idea.
These 100% soy wax candles are all handmade in Dublin, Ireland.
When we saw Vicky Phelan mention these, we thought they could make a gorgeous gift for anyone you know you may need cheering up and they’re made in Limerick!
Described as “essentially flash cards for grown-ups” these are full of positive and uplifting messages you can pull daily as a pick me up.
A print always makes for a good gift, and we love pretty much everything from Dusty Boy Designs.
This ‘Soul Sisters’ print would be a thoughtful gift to send to that best friend you’re missing at the moment.
14kt Gold Filled Moon Pendant; €65.00
We miss the days when it was acceptable to wear friendship bracelets, so why not go for a grown up version?
This necklace from Irish jewellery designer MoMuse is so dainty and simple and also comes in a star and circle pendant. Ideal as a really special gift for someone you love.
New Moon Blooms Flower Subscription
If you know you won’t be seeing someone for another few months, then why not gift a flower subscription? This is literally the gift that keeps on giving and we love the idea of someone receiving fresh flowers every month.
The powerhouse behind Frog Prince Weddings, latest venture is New Moon Blooms who offer a selection of gorgeous flower subscription services.
