Valentine’s Buys In Red & Pink (to make the boys wink)

Katie Mythen-Lynch

You might scoff at the notion of making boys wink (I’m not sure either – do we even want that any more?), but research really does show that men can’t resist a scarlet lady.

That’s why, if your aim is to remind Himself how lucky he is this Valentine’s Day, there’s only one colour to be seen in. Well two, and 500 shades of each, but you get the drift.

In fact, whether you’re looking to snare yourself a man or not, there’s no harm in getting swept away by the romance of the day.

Here are 10 buys to mark the occasion. Swit swoo.
