Happy (almost) Valentine’s Day, mamas.
Look, we know love can’t be measured in presents or bling – and really; it is the thought that counts when it comes to most matters of the heart.
But still – let’s be honest – it IS nice to open and lovely pressie that makes us all feel a little more appreciated and cared for.
Which is why you should send this gift guide on to your other half straight away.
Because yes, by all means, write us a romantic card and pick up some flowers, guys – but if you want to show your love just that little bit more, we really wouldn’t mind receiving one of these this year:
1. Blush Satin Robe
Not only does this feel utterly amazing to wear (perfect for lounging around in on weekend mornings, for insance), but it also looks so much more expensive than it actually is.
Blush Satin Robe, €14, Penneys
2. Lucy Nagle Superstar Cashmere Jumper
Cashmere – because we’re worth it. And because this new Superstar jumper in navy and cameo pink will literally be our go-to weekend favourite forever.
Lucy Nagle Superstar Cashmere Jumper, €295, Lucynagle.com
3. Monogrammed Leather Make Up Bag
Monogrammed is having a moment, and we adore the products from Irish accessories brand Bisou Design. This leather make up bag is roomy enough to hold all our must-have products, yet still tidy enough to fit in our handbag.

4. Alex And Ani Heart Beaded Gold Wrap Bangle
We are huge fans of Alex and Ani, and currently have our eyes on this heart-adorned bangle – rather perfect for Valentine’s Day, no?

Nwah! Never mind wearing your heart on your sleeve, we want to wear it on our wrist this Valentine’s Day with this adorable special edition release Swatch watch.

Scented candles are always a winner, gift wise. And at the moment, we cannot get enough of this award-winning scent from Irish Field Apothecary.

8. America: The Cookbook
We love cookbooks that not only provide us with endless temptation for making dinners, but that are also stylish enough to display like a coffee table book. And any cookbook from Phaidon pretty much tick both of these boxes.

9. Seoulista Rosy Toes Instant Pedicure
