Christmas gift ideas for her

Uncategorized

Lets admit it the time has come!…and every year without fail there’s Christmas pandemonium and chaos!

2015-11-24 11.21.54

I know in our household, we have a kris Kindle with our Siblings…every time someone gets my name, there is a trail of “what’s app” messages slagging the poor unfortunate that has been bestowed my namesake! So here’s my problem with this No 1. its not much of a kris kindle if we all know who we’re getting .:-) .think we mislead the whole
 meaning of KK somewhere down the line in the early years!! And No 2 why in gods name is it so hard to buy for me?? I’m easy I love everything.!!!

It got me thinking what do you get someone (a girl in this case) who has everything (no I don’t have everything ha!)

I’ve pulled together a list of things that possibly every girly female likes getting…trust me it never fails!! My favourite gifts  I remember receiving for Christmas (Benefit makeup sets, Jo Malone gift set.. & slippers (I never have slippers!!) were gifts I wouldn’t necessarily buy myself but would absolutely love, Its luxury gifts that I like but would never buy as I have more other pressing items I have to get, like work clothes or something Id need for every day use…so here’s a list that might help any sibling or any man out there who literally does not have a clue what to buy his better half.
The majority of these gifts range mainly from €50-60 and a good few are less than this, I’ve also thrown in a small few more expensive items in case anyone is feeling particularly generous.
So here we go…………..
Personalised Gifts/Unique Gifts
A personalised gift is just fabulous, I always try to get something for my parents and in-laws from the kids with it personalised, not to mention my hubby as its just something they will always have and a lovely thoughtful idea..so here’s where I’ve picked up a few things and a great website for any sort of personalised or non personalised gift…www.Notonthehighstreet.com

Next up…Make Up sets
Its the most obvious one in the book, every girl loves to have makeup doesn’t matter how much she has she still likes trying out the best ones around or limited editions & every Christmas there is always a newer shiner one to buy and try out plus sets are handy if you don’t want to pack your whole makeup kit into a bag when travelling somewhere xx

For me its always lovely to get a fashion type book/ autobiography or a coffee table fashion book. I’ve a nice little collection, here’s some books that I spotted and handy for a Christmas present..love her or hate her Caroline Flack has an autobiography Storm in a tea cup €21 which is becoming a sell out. Millie Mackintosh has brought out a lifestyle book too called Made,€22.99 Obviously the other two books are more for a girl crazy about fashion, but you can get any sort of book as a Christmas present ..these are just a sample of fashion books available from a number of fashion houses, and the bottom left is the “Whowhatwear” by Hilary Kerr €16.50.
