That extra 24 hours is a gift from the gods, and if you don't mind, we'll be taking full advantage!
Lie-ins, nights on the town, days on the couch and soaking up every drop of sunshine that comes our way. Bring it. Of course with all that weekend to pass, an hour or two around the shops is the perfect way to spend some time happily, and spend some money wisely.
With that in mind, we've got the heads up on one super sale and we're sharing it with you. We're nice like that.
If you're not familiar with the Kilkenny Shop, you really should sort that out. For the uninitiated, it's a treasure trove of funky fashion and homeware buys. We especially love the ranges from Irish designers, and if you're tempted to splurge, then now is the time.
Until Monday, our pals at Kilkenny have reduced everything in store as part of a special Six Day Sale, which ends on Monday. The sale is running in Kilkenny’s 13 store locations nationwide, but really you don't even have to leave your couch, as you can shop until you drop online at kilkennyshop.com.
In advance of your shopping mission, should you choose to accept it, we've chosen five of our favourite bargain buys. Happy hunting!
Max Benjamin Travel Candle Set
We're just going to put it out there; we're not sure why anyone needs a 'travel' set of candles. It's not as though you'll be lighting them in the car! So, we'll be buying these babies and the only place they'll be traveling is one by one to the sitting room, bathroom and bedroom. This set of three includes the most popular fragrances in the amazing Max Benjamin range; Lemongrass & Ginger, White Pomegranate & Dodici. Each weighs in at 80g and will give you a very impressive 17 burning hours. This weekend it will cost you €26.96 for the set, but move fast! After Monday it's back up to the regular price of €29.95
Alan Ardiff 'From the Heart' Pendant
We've fallen hard for Alan Ardiff's work, (more on that right here). Another Irish designer making a splash, Alan proves that wearing your heart on your sleeve is so last season. Really, you should be hanging it around your neck. This weekend you can claim 10 per cent off Alan's multi-metal designs, and we're very sweet on this one. Usually €160, this weekend you can get it for €144.
Waterford by Vera Wang Infinity Toasting Flutes
The Six Day Sale runs in Kilkenny’s thirteen store locations nationwide and online at kilkennyshop.com until Monday May 5th. You can avail of amazing discounts on your favourite Irish and international labels, whether you’re looking for a wardrobe update, homeware or a gift for someone special.
