Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and it’s already time to begin thinking about the perfect gift for that someone special in your life. As usual Clerys covers all bases, with fabulous items to choose from in each department, ranging from designer Lingerie and jewellery for her to techy electrical goods and new season fragrances for him.

Everyone knows (or at least, should know!) that the key to a ladies heart is through her jewellery box and this year Clerys offer more choice than ever, as they welcome a brand new addition to their ground floor Jewellery Emporium. Newbridge Silverware has just launched its fabulous spring summer 2010 collection at Clerys. Favourites for Valentines include the ‘Amour Heart’ pendant €35 and the ‘Crystal Heart Key’ pendant €55. But an absolute must-have and one of the key trends in jewellery at present, is the Newbridge Silver ‘Sentiments’ bracelet (€60). This design is similar to the Pandora charm bracelet but at a much more realistic price point… and it’s Irish designed too!

As always, everyone’s favourite charmer, Thomas Sabo is also full of more perfect choices for Valentines and if she’s already an avid member of the world renowned ‘charm club’ then the diamante encrusted heart shaped charm (€29.95) won’t disappoint. If the budget will stretch a little further, why not splash on a hot new spring summer 2010 favourite, the exquisite ‘dotted’, a silver ring with pink pearls set into the design (€279) or play it safe and go for one large pink pearl set in a chunky silver band (€179).

Turn the heat up this Valentines by spoiling your loved one with one of Clerys exquisite designer lingerie sets. Choose from leading brands such as Lejaby, Elle Macpherson Intimates, Wonderbra and Calvin Klein Underwear. Wonderbra is top of our wish list with some delicious designs in-store this season! Check out the Wonderbra Rosette range with matching briefs, only €52.50 for the pair!

Get right into those good books by opting for a new season designer handbag which still check in at really affordable prices! Clerys favourites include Nica, Fiorelli, Modalu, Texier, Radley and Jane Shilton. Modalu’s Fay bag (€115), a contemporary twist on the Chanel classic quilted, is already proving to be a huge hit this spring summer. Stay in the Valentines spirit and opt for the striking orchid colour!

As always, Clerys cosmetic hall has a large number of new fragrances and gift sets on offer for Valentine’s Day, as well as launching the new Flora by Gucci in EDP (100ml €96).

Of course, it is important not to forget the man in your life on Valentine’s Day and although they can sometimes be harder to shop for, D.I.D Electrical has some super ideas this year. If the purse strings are tight but you’re still out to impress, why not opt for the Praktica 10mp digital camera, with a free case at just €89.95. The Philips HQ Shaver is also a great gift at just €89.95 or guaranteed to please if he doesn’t already have one, the ipod touch.
