I AM BACK!
For three weeks only, Killer Fashion has awakened from her beauty sleep to give you a handful of helpful lists. And kickstarting this year’s Killer Fashion Christmas Gift Guides 2022, here is one of the biggest & most sought-after guides: Gifts For Her. I always want to support our Irish economy as much as I can and hope you will too, therefore my gift guide lists a fabulous selection from Irish businesses and Irish brands. For all your Christmas shopping needs in-store & online, may you find perfect presents for your nearest & dearest.
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 ideas for everyone. Get clicking below!
Please support Irish businesses when shopping for the festive season!
Just remember the delivery times may be delayed for various reasons. Check the bottom of this post to see my other Killer Fashion Gift Guides!
For Your Girlfriend/Wife/Partner
If it may seem that your significant other is tricky to buy for, then hopefully this list can be of help. When you have a special lady in your life and you want to treat her like a queen just as she deserves, the right gift may seem the most important on your shopping list. I want to make Christmas easier for you with special ideas, luxurious finds but also pieces that will make an impression and be memorable.
The Collective has a beautiful array of jewellery that are unique, with many Irish brands, while Ellagrace have gorgeous sterling silver & gold-plated pieces. Look to The Style Market and Virgo Boutique for fashion, The Burren Perfumery, Sculpted and Nima Brush for makeup and beauty, whilst pieces from the iconic Weir & Sons and Brown Thomas always make for lovely presents. Vouchers and experiences are thoughtful gifts us ladies love too – whether it’s a day spa, hairstyling or Afternoon Tea, and there are plenty of options to choose from.

For Your Mam
There’s no doubt that for many of us, our Mam is the real hero at Christmas. From her skills in the kitchen to decorating the house and all of the in-between skills she has rolled up those sleeves, Mam truly is the best. Helping to do things around the house will be muchly appreciated especially during the holidays. Be it making tea or pouring a glass of wine, 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 helpful chores, here are a number of pretty perfect presents you could spoil her with. Similar to your other half, vouchers and experiences are lovely treats, as well as thoughtful lifestyle & fashion products from April and the Bear, Madigan, Designist or Foxford and beautiful gifts from Irish brands Max Benjamin and Hawthorn Handmade Skincare as well as Irish jewellers Weir & Sons whose collection of designer brands is vast.
