25 GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS!

Here's the 25 Gifts of Christmas...I know some people really struggle with what to get their loved one for Christmas. In recent years my mum has found it so difficult to know what to buy. Here's a few ideas of what to get your daughter, sister, friend, mother, aunty or girlfriend. 

1. Cosmetic Advent Calendar 

I'm really excited about this one because who doesn't love a gift everyday? £25 Here 

2. Perfume 

You really can't go wrong with perfume, I love all of the Marc Jacob scents! £49 Here

I absolutely love this perfume and it's got such a great price point at £33 Here 

3. Personalised phone case 

They are £20 and are so thoughtful and personal. Here

4. Hairdryer 

This hairdryer is unbelievable, we found it in the dressing rooms of the Galgorm. It's so powerful and lightweight. It can be bought cheaper in a Salon Professional Shop. £49 Here 

5. Teeth Whitening Kit 
* I don't want to recommend any particular brand and I can only tell you how I've found it from my own experience. Dental care is so important so you have to be careful when putting anything on your teeth as they are so sensitive.

I used the Crest Whitening Strips in Glamorous White before my sister's wedding. I found they made a significant difference but I only used the strips about 8 times and still have loads left to use before big events. £62 Here

A cheaper alternative and also an Irish Brand - Spotlight! Spotlight was created by two dentists in Galway. Their brand ambassadors include Joanne Larby (The Makeup Fairy) and Terrie McEvoy so have a read up about it before buying. £32 Here

6. Makeup Palette 

What I would call the ultimate present - for me anyways. 

£33 Here 

£39 Here 

£21 Here 

£38.50 Here

7. Ring Light 

This is perfect for anyone who loves make up or a good selfie. I have this on my Christmas list as I'd love to start filming some tutorials, hauls and loads of other exciting things for you all. £75 Here 

8. Portable Charger

These are so handy and useful! You can get them in Pennys for £5 but here's a best seller from Amazon - take your pick.  £10Here

9. Makeup Brush Set 

There are so many brush sets out there but here are a few options. I got a 30 piece Blank Canvas Brush Set last year in the Black Friday Sale for less than €60 so definitely keep an eye out.

16. Investment Piece 

This could be anything at all, something they wouldn't normally buy themselves. My Dad laughs at me when I call something an investment piece, 'Kate, it's not an investment when you don't get a return!'
