Are you going to the European Championships?

If you answered “yes”, then go you, you lucky so-and-so, but you better prepare for an onslaught of jealousy from boyfriends, girlfriends, and everyone else, including me… god, I wish I was going to the football.

You may not be able to dodge my green eyed monster, but you can stay out of the bad books with others by picking up these very simple gifts.

For the folks at work – A bottle of something nice

When your colleagues hear you’re going to the euros, they may be happy for you for a second or two… but expect that envy to sink in fairly soon after.

A handy way to quell their disappointment is to arrive back to the office with a nice present and it doesn’t get much nicer than a bottle of fantastic booze.

PS. Paul, if you’re reading this, we like Irish whiskey.

For the young ones: confectionery

For the younger ones, you really can’t go too far wrong with sweets and luckily for you, The Loop has an amazing selection of confectionery which is sure to be a hit.

That being said, you can’t beat the classics – just watch their eyes as you arrive through the door with the biggest Toblerone known to man.

For yourself: some fashion

Staying in the good books with your family and friends is great, but you shouldn’t forget to look after yourself.

What better way to cheer yourself up after Ireland’s inevitable second round final loss than by picking up some top notch clothes.
