Your Valentine's Day gift guide of Irish brands

Posted: Wed 8th Feb 2023

Love is in the air at Enterprise Nation Ireland. We thought we'd share some of that love with our members by compiling a fun Valentine's Day gift list featuring some of our beloved member businesses.

If you're looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to float the boat of your loved one, take a read through our eclectic list and give your fellow Enterprise Nation members some love.

Showing love in our community can be as simple as a like, follow or share of your small business fellows, on their socials. Sharing is caring.

Narcissips

Love your partner AND love the planet? You can show both affection by gifting a reusable water bottle, coffee cup, or a coffee tumbler.

And if that was not enough love to share around, Narcissips also helps to fund the building of fresh water wells and tuition fees through its sales. Find out more at Narcissips' Instagram account.

The Snacktory

Got a partner or special person with a sweet tooth? Why not feed the beast with a hamper full of jellies? The Snacktory have plenty of platters and hampers to choose from to sweeten up your valentine. Take a look at what’s on offer at thesnacktory.ie.

Chocolatey Clare

Staying on the sweet theme, do you have a chocoholic as a lover? Chocolatey Clare (we love the name!) has luxury confectionery produced entirely on sustainable and ethical principles.

It's 100% vegan, gluten-free and free of palm oil and all wrapped up in fully plastic-free, recyclable packaging printed with vegetable-based inks. Go on, get your chocolate lover a box of chocolate bonbons at chocolateyclare.com.

Kandle Queen

Nothing sets a romantic scene more than a Kandle Queen scented candle. Just make sure you have a fire extinguisher close to hand, in case it gets a little too hot to handle in there. Pick up your romantic gift boxes at kandlequeen.com.

Craft Food Traders

How about a romantic night in or a picnic in the park? Craft Food Traders has you covered, with plenty of artisan Irish drinks and snacks to choose from. Or send a Valentine’s hamper – you can even add your own cheesy poem. Browse the selection at craftfoodtraders.ie.

Hemp Heros

Fancy taking your relationship to a whole new high? Hemp Heros can do exactly that. Well, not THAT kind of a high. But who doesn't want that natural high from a good night's sleep or fabulous-looking skin?

There are plenty of ways to get some CBD into your lover's life, and even your pet can get in on the action. Check out hempheros.ie.

Franchine Young Ireland

Does your significant other enjoy looking after their skin? Well, Wonderbalm, the organic multi-use balm for the face, could win you adoration on Valentine's Day. Let's face it, just the name alone sounds like it oozes luxury. Find this beautiful gift at franchineyoung.com.

Huku Balance

Want to bring a little balance and fun to your relationship? What better way to do that than gifting a balance board? This comes highly recommended as it sparks joy in this author's life! Get your perfect handmade and sustainable balance board at hukubalance.com.

Emily Jean Atelier

Is there a racing goer in your life? If your lady likes to dress up for ladies' day at the races, why not gift her some crowning glory? A voucher to purchase something made from the talented hands of atelier Emily Jean O'Byrne might just be a winning bet.

Also available are a beautiful array of headbands and turbands (it's the headwear equivalent of the cruffin!). Check out emily-jean.com to get those hearts racing!

SoHo Haircare

Speaking of heads, nothing turns heads more than silky, shiny hair. At SoHo Haircare there is a range of products for your hair and scalp, as well as all the tools you need to detangle those locks. Gift some good hair days by browsing sohohaircare.com.

And Hope Designs

If you're in the market for a quirky Valentine's Day card, you really should look at And Hope Designs. There are plenty of other gift ideas on this website but make sure you don't leave it before reading all the cute, clever cards! Find them at andhopedesigns.com

Magpie Gems

If you had some jewellery in mind, the cleverly named Magpie Gems might be just what you're looking for. These pieces are all handcrafted using Austrian crystals. There are plenty of styles and colours to choose from, so enjoy browsing the Valentine's Collection at magpiegems.ie

Kit Swing Jewellery

Nothing says "I love you" like giving a piece of bone-shaped jewellery cast from the leg bone of a duck. Well, you can fulfil your loved one's wishes because independent, ethical, narrative, jeweller Kit Swing’s pieces help turn trauma into treasure. You can find her unique collection at kitswingjewellery.com

Park Life

If you're fortunate to have a four-legged best friend that you show extra love on Valentine's Day, take a route straight through what is known as Park Life. There you'll find heart-shaped dog biscuits, made with human-quality ingredients – including the world's first frisbee-shaped biscuit which is ideal for throwing, catching and playful snacking. It's not really a dog's life at parklife.dog
