Something for everyone for Valentine’s, Galentine’s or Palentine’s Day …
For Chocolate Lovers
Butlers Chocolates Valentine’s collection features heart-shaped treats and boxes of goodies “wrapping it in red” along with special café offers like hite hot chocolate and strawberries or “Chocolatier’s Edition Hearts” available in-store and online. We love One Dame Lane‘s collaboration with the chance to win the ultimate chocolate bundle worth €130 and their iconic gift sets worth €124. If we’re not lucky enough to win, a hamper always makes a thoughtful gift (even if it is last-minute!).
For Some Retail Therapy
From personal shopping to long lunch dates, create a moment of magic in Kildare Village from 12pm-4pm with personalised illustrations made just for you – sweet, thoughtful and perfect to share or keep. We also recommend swinging by the Calvin Klein pop-up with 50 per cent off the recommended retail price and the new KASH Beauty boutique now open. Even better? Double Stars runs until February 22, meaning members can unlock rewards twice as fast by earning two stars for every €1 you spend. Also, don’t miss your chance to buy tickets to The Edit in Dublin, Cork and Belfast to discover new season trends and styling tips.
For Thrifty Gals
Step into the world of sustainable fashion with a one-of-a-kind guided shop crawl through Dublin’s best thrift stores, charity shops and vintage boutiques, handpicked for their unique finds and affordable prices. Meet like-minded new friends who want to learn more about eco-conscious shopping while collecting some hidden gems on a group social walk throughout the city. Limited tickets remain, meeting outside Bear Market Café on Georges Street at 12pm.
For Sports Fans
Valentine’s Day happens to bring one of the biggest sporting events of the year to the capital as Ireland take on Italy at Aviva Stadium in the Six Nations Championship. Match day brings energy and colour to Dublin, with supporters filling pubs, restaurants and streets across the city before and after kick-off. For those looking to soak up the atmosphere, The Sin Bin at The Mont Hotel on Merrion Square in Dublin 2 is a popular haunt known for its lively atmosphere, specialty cocktails, premium whiskeys and pub grub to stay close to the action while staying dry!
For Hopeless Romantics
One of the most unique date night experiences, “Candlelight Dreams: Valentine’s Edition” at Dream Point in Dublin’s Point Square is part of the 360° projection exhibition “Van Gogh After Dark: An Immersive Journey”. Prepare to be captivated as Ireland’s largest ball pit is transformed into a sea of over 100,000 pearl-coloured balls, surrounded by hundreds of candles to set the scene. Enjoy an intimate live performance by acclaimed pianist Noah Flach, whose cinematic piano-style covers of Coldplay, Adele, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Billie Eilish, Elton John, Ed Sheeran and John Legend will make for an unforgettable night.
