The days are flying by and we’re already into the first week of December, and as a blogger that means the season of gift guides is here! This year there are so many lovely things I want to share with you and recommend that it’s hard to just whittle it down to the select few. I began this year with a selection of gorgeous jewellery with Merry Kissmas at Weir & Sons, and now it’s time for Gifts For Her, to give both ladies & gents reading a helping hand in what to gift your nearest & dearest for Christmas.
From the love of your life to your mam, sisters or besties as well as the rest of the female family and friends, I’ve got everything sussed out for you. Get clicking online or hit the streets & stores for these great gifts, perfect for all the gorgeous girls in your life!
Just remember the delivery times & delivery costs to Ireland if you do shop online, and get to it quick as items may sell out soon! Happy shopping darlings! Check the bottom of this post to see the other Gift Guides!
For Your Girlfriend/Wife
For many, your significant other is the hardest person to buy for, but also the most important. Because if you have a special lady in your life, then you want to treat her like a queen. This year I want to make it easier for you with special ideas, luxurious finds but also pieces that will last year after year. Thomas Sabo jewellery can be very romantic, with many of their rings, bracelets and pendants engraveable too, meaning you can add a special little message to their gift. Makeup by Yves Saint Laurent and pieces from the newly opened Victoria’s Secret will also make for lovely little presents. Vouchers and experiences are thoughtful gifts we women do adore, whether it’s the spa or Afternoon Tea, and there are plenty of places to choose from.

For Your Mam
Most of us know, that the real hero each Christmas is our Mammy with her epic cooking, her fabulous decorating and all of the in between skills she has rolled up under those sleeves of hers. One of the best gifts this year (and every year!), is the non-physical ones of doing things & helping out around the house, especially during the holidays! Be it making tea, clearing the table & doing the dishes, collecting & bringing back relatives, or helping with dinner, this will be one of the best things that shows you love, cherish and care, and maybe allow your Mam to actually sit down & relax.
But before (or after) all of those lovely chores, here are some great goodies you can spoil her with. Similarly to the above, vouchers and experiences are great gifts to treat your Mam, as well as luxury products by Clarins and from Weir & Sons. Big love to all the mammies out there, especially if you’re one of my readers!

Sisters and best friends can go hand in hand a lot of the time. So if you’re lucky enough to have a big or small sister as well as a bestie gal pal, then you’ll love these Christmas gift ideas.
