If you’re in the majority of Irish women who will be lucky to get a card or a petrol-station “celebration bouquet” this Valentine’s Day, there is one foolproof way thousands of women have been guaranteeing they have a lovely time on the world’s most romantic holiday for years: organise it yourself.
Set the scene: Scented candles, a fabulous meal (a takeaway counts), the Sleepless in Seattle DVD and a bottle of wine. Then unwrap one of these gorgeous gifts. Or all of them.
