For Your Girlfriend/Wife
For many, your significant other can be the hardest person to buy for, but also the most important. When you have a special lady in your life, you want to treat her like a queen just as she deserves. This year I want to help make Christmas 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, Urban Decay & Clarins or pieces from the beloved Victoria’s Secret will also make for lovely presents. Vouchers and experiences are thoughtful gifts us ladies adore too, whether it’s the spa, hair do or Afternoon Tea, and there are plenty of places to choose from.

For Your Mam
Most of us know, that the real hero every Christmas is our Mammy. From her delicious cooking, her fabulous decorating and all of the in between skills she has rolled up under those sleeves, Mam is truly the best. I always say that one of the best gifts 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. Any or all of these are excellent ways to show you love, cherish and appreciate your Mam – and maybe allow her to actually sit down & relax.
But before (or after) all of those lovely chores, here are some great goodies you can spoil her with. Similar to your other half, vouchers and experiences are great gifts to treat your Mam, as well as luxurious products by Dune London, Clarins, Ted Baker and beautiful gifts from Weir & Sons as well as Irish jewellers & gifts boutique The Collective. Big love to all the mammies out there, especially if you’re one of my readers!
