Gift that special someone (you!) with something fabulous, just because
Romance isn’t dead, but chances are, this Valentine’s Day is going to feel pretty much like any other weekend you order takeaway or make a special dinner.
But now is a great time to give yourself, or drop hints about, a little something in the post that would really brighten your mood.
Here are some things we’re adding to cart this week, because really, we all deserve an extra bit of love this month.
Irish fine jewellery brand By Leahy has launched a rose gold version of the signature envelope necklace for Valentine’s Day. Designed and handmade in Galway, customers can add a specially engraved message.
A simple pair of studs is our go-to jewellery in lockdown, and we love the fun and simple design of these mismatched earrings from NJO Designs.
New mums are having an intense time at home with their little bundles of joy. The Mama Moments subscription box service is delivered every two months, and contains all you need to indulge in some me-time. Each box contains five or six gifts sourced from small, independent, female-led businesses.

We love the gorgeous little hampers for him available from Shell’s Café’s online shop. So much so, we might steal it for ourselves…

One year into the pandemic, your loungewear might be quite worn and threadbare. Invest in a set that feels beautiful to wear and will last longer, such as this pink Lucy Nagle cashmere set.
