14 gifts from Irish-owned businesses for the 14th of February

Do you celebrate a traditional Valentines? Maybe for you it's Galentines or potentially even Palentines. All very legit in my books, tbh. Unfortunately a night on the town, or dinner out is off the cards as we are all locked down this Valentines. However, let's not dwell... Here are a few really cute bits that you can send to your other half, one of the huns or listen, maybe even to yourself. To me, from me. Sure, you might call them 14 gifts for the 14th day for the 14th month of 2020 - amirite? Get the orders in early to guarantee on time delivery! The Crate Flowers A traditional Valentine's staple, but everyone loves flowers. They brighten up a day and do wonders for the bedroom/home office combo that we have all become accustomed to these days. These bouquets from The Crate are perfect for bringing a little bit of colour into our lives. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKlRgo3nhT8/ D8 Candle Company  I've said it before and I'll say it again; the older you get, the more you appreciate a bloody good candle. D8 Candle Company drop their candles every Thursday but you'll need to be quick! This one, 'Love Lane' is their Valentine's Day special.

The cocktails themselves are delicious. You can even get the label personalised! I recently ordered a personalised bottle for one of my gals' 30th birthday - it went down a treat.
