The big news? It was from Lidl. Yes, Lidl, who we turn to for affordable vegetables and, randomly, brilliant ski gear, have added another string to their bow: underwear. Of course, this is all nicely timed ahead of Valentine’s Day. (Meanwhile, I’ve returned to my normal colour, however am left with a bitter feeling that this was not in fact from a secret – albeit creepy – admirer.)
Words from the sexy German brand:
“Wow your loved one with a beautiful selection of lingerie, including an elegant Lace Chemise (?7.99), a sleek Bodysuit (?7.99) and a delicate Push-Up Bra (?5.99) and matching Thong (?4.99) – all available in a selection of sizes and colours, including Champagne, black and red.”
For that price, they certainly get a ‘wow’ from us. And they look pretty good too!
If underwear isn’t your thing this Valentine’s Day, they’ve got less revealing treats to choose from:
Deluxe Irish Chocolate Selection (?5.99);?Prosecco DOC Frizzante for only €7.99; Lidl’s signature fragrance Suddenly Madame Glamour (?3.49); a Valentine’s Teddy Bear (?3.99), a cute Picture Frame (?2.99), Valentine’s Muffin Moulds (?3.99) and heart-shaped Tea Lights (?1.99).
Not forgetting the men in your lives, they’ve got that taken care of too.
“Cologne is the ideal gift for just about every man; pick up a bottle of G. Bellini X-Bolt for only €3.99. With citrus, woody notes giving it a fresh, yet masculine edge, this fragrance is sure not to disappoint. A bottle of the award-winning Dundalgan Irish Whiskey (?18.49) will also go down a treat, and at a cost of under than €20 you really can’t go wrong.”
Valentine’s Day at Lidl; bargain.
Also, this seasonal prank on the streets of Dublin is pretty hilarious.
