Shhhhh.
If you stay really, really quiet you can hear the sound of a million Irish men panicking because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
If you’re one such man, we’ve got a message for you: ‘relax, JOE has got your back!’
With thanks to Boots, here are 5 mistakes to avoid this V-day.
Without further ado.
Ignoring hints
If she mentions that she is running out of perfume, don’t assume she wants you to share your can of Lynx with her.
It’s clearly a hint that she’d love some smelly stuff for Valentine’s.
Boots have some great options which won’t leave you out of pocket, such as Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau De Parfum 50ml for €86.00. It comes in a a specially engraved “with love” bottle available exclusively at Boots.ie.
If that’s a little bit out of your price range, then consider the Jimmy Choo Flash Eau de Parfum 100ml which is currently priced less than half price at €44.99.
Buying something that’s really for you
We all remember what happened when Homer got Marge a bowling ball with his own name inscribed on it as a present, right?
Right.
If you get your a partner a gift that’s really for you, it’s scientifically probable that they will run off with a French bowling instructor named Jacques.
Buying lingerie… in the wrong size
Speaking of presents which you’ll enjoy, lingerie is a possible exception to the aforementioned rule.
As long as it’s in the correct size.
If it’s not, expect to see a reaction like this.
Truth be told, you’re far better off buying something which isn’t size specific. That way there is a much smaller chance of you messing it up! Boots have a No7 Rechargeable Manicure Set which she is sure to love, for just €25.
Buying ANYTHING exercise-related
Even if she wants to lose weight, she doesn’t want you to want her to lose weight.
So use a smidgeon of common sense and avoid anything that is even remotely related to becoming more fit.
The No7 Illuminated Makeup Mirror is half price for €34.99 and will demonstrate how gorgeous she actually is!
Watching the actual movie called Valentine’s Day
It’s just a terrible film.
Boots is the place to go for that perfect Valentine’s gift for your someone special. For more great gifts and fantastic offers, check them out here or visit your nearest store.
