Valentine's Day is fast bearing down on us, and with just a few days to go, we've been dropping hints like mad things.

While it's always the thought that counts on V-Day, we'd much rather all those hard-earned €€€ be spent on something we'll actually use and cherish than a 6ft white teddy bear holding a giant love heart.

With that in mind, here are just a few of the gifts we'd genuinely love to unwrap come February 14.

And just to be safe, we'll probably end  up self-gifting a few of these to ourselves anyways. #TreatYoSelf and all that.

1. Dolce & Gabbana L'Imperatrice #3
You can't go wrong with a fresh and classic scent, plus this gorge D&G perfume is currently available at a huge discount. Yaaaas.

Was €103.50, now €34,95, Lloyds Pharmacy

 

2. Swatch TENDER PRESENT Watch
Finally, a Valentine's-themed gift that doesn't make us want to run for cover. Swatch's Valentine's special features moving elements in shades of red, pink, purple and white.

€70, Swatch stores on Grafton St, Henry St or Dublin Airport

 

3. 'Love Who You Are' Wall Print

4. Alex And Ani Love Expandable Wire Ring
Wear your heart on your sleeve (or your finger) with this simple and stackable Alex And Ani ring. The new range has just launched in Irish stores, so it's a perfect Valentine's gift.

€26, Alex And Ani stockists nationwide and online.

 

5. Pilgrim Rose Gold Plated Heart Pendant Necklace
A V-day necklace with a difference, we love this rose gold hammered heart pendant. 

€35.20, ASOS

 

6. Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Gift Set
Scrubs, creams, body wash, an eye mask and more… you'll be pampered to within an inch of your life with this gift set.

Secret Santa gifts can be super hard to nail sometimes, especially when there's a cap on the price. 

You want something that's thoughtful but also something that they will use and not throw away after one use. And you also want to make them happy and jump for joy, yes?

If you are one of the unfortunate souls (and there are many of us) who has ever had the absolutely brutal experience of stepping on a piece of Lego, then we have good news.

Lego are making extra padded slippers to avoid such devastation in the future. Yes, extra padded slippers with the Lego logo and in a fetching red and yellow combination. 

Success!

You are now free to walk about your home without the fear of losing your feet to such a travesty ever again.

However, there is a catch. Only 1,500 pairs of the slippers are available. French blog Piwee explains how you can your hands on a pair.It seems pretty straightforward, you just need to fill out a Christmas wish list. 

That should really not pose a problem because who wouldn’t want to put a pair of these at the top of their Christmas list?

Oh, and another feature of the slippers that we love is the fact that they are interchangeable. 

So you don’t need to worry about putting your shoe on the wrong foot. You can wear them whatever way you wish.

Now you can forever be safe to walk about your home without the lingering worry of a piece of plastic (that actually feels like a thousand tiny knives) getting lodged in your foot.

If you are anything like us then chances are you’re only starting to think about Valentine’s Day gifts for the man in your life around now.

Last minute, we know but here are some things you can pick up that are guaranteed to show him just how you feel about him (on good days)!

Scratch Map Deluxe from Urban Outfitters (€35)
This can basically be described as a giant scratchcard except instead of winning something you reveal all of the places you’ve travelled together – how romantic!

Jean Paul Gaultier LE MALE Collector Eau de Toilette 75ml available from Boots (€54)
Let’s face it, many women just cannot resist an amazing smelling man so help him impress you even more with the classic JPG scent in a snazzy collector bottle – ooh!

Irish Whiskey Museum Tour (01) 5250970
If your man is into his whiskeys it would be a great experience for the both of you to head along to the new Irish Whiskey Museum at the bottom of Grafton Street in Dublin for a tour. Not only will you learn all about the interesting history of Ireland’s whiskeys but you’ll also get a tasting experience of three different types!

Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot Home Candle 200g available from Brown Thomas (€62.00)

Sometimes, it’s the things that take a little bit of effort that make the sweetest gestures!

Has your BFF been there for you every step of a break-up, have you gotten the best pressie ever from your favourite aunt or did all your mates come to your party when you feared nobody would show?

Surprising them with a simple ‘Thank You’ note will probably make their day!

Here are a few tips on how to create the perfect one.

Better late than never
No matter how much time has passed, still send a note. Simply start by apologising that it took you so long.

Keep it simple
Skip cards that are already printed with ‘Thank You’ on the front in favour of a nice design. Select a simple block or script font and look for flat versus fold-over cards. This means there is less room to waffle on a bit, and instead leave a simple, but lovely message.

Don’t mention it
Don’t mention any amount of cash – for example ‘Thanks for the €50, I bought new shoes!’ Thank them for the ‘generous gift’ instead. On top of this, never admit you’ll be returning the gift! And don’t toot your own horn – ‘I’m just the kind of person who appreciates her friends’. A thank-you is about them, not you.

Hard Copy or digital?
Do you need to pen a card, or will an e-thanks do? Ask yourself how memorable you want your gesture to be. An email gets the point across, but something handwritten leaves a lasting impression.

Do the maths
Add up these six elements: Dear So-and-So + Thank You For The Gift Or Action + How You Enjoyed It (or plan to) + Something Nice About The Giver + A Desire to Catch Up Soon + Sign-Off = job done!

Birthdays can be daunting when you have no money, so we’ve compiled a list of cute and thoughtful gifts you can get for your best friend that won’t leave you destitute.

1. Collage
Build a cute collage with photos of you and your bestie.

2. Cake/sweets/cookies
If she is a sweet lover then get creative and make her favourite – maybe marshmallows, yum! Otherwise, who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies or cheesecake?

3. Friendship necklaces or bracelets
They don’t have to be expensive, you can get really cute ones for cheap many places.

4. Body moisturiser
This is so easy to make yourself. Grab a cute bottle or jar. Get some almond and olive oil, essential oils and cinnamon sticks or vanilla pods to decorate. Combine everything in the bottle, make a cute label and wrap it up. Pretty as a picture!

5. Photo album
Get all of your favourite photos together and make a photo album.

6. Candles
Everyone loves candles that smell amazing and there are some great budget-friendly ones out there.

7. Books
Books can be personal and not too expensive if you do it right. Check online for cheaper prices and write a note on the inside jacket.

8. Hot chocolate set
Buy a cute mug, some hot chocolate mixture, marshmallows and a spoon and wrap it all up.

Chocolate is as much a part of Christmas as mistletoe, pudding and hilarious nativity plays are.

Given as a gift or bought for the movie portion of Christmas Day, a Christmas shopping list wouldn’t be complete without some chocolate.
