Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Luckily I got most of my presents when I was in London at the weekend but I’ve been feeling very inspired by the collections available at Kildare Village which of course makes an excellent backdrop for a gift guide blog post. “Click to View Post” under the image to continue reading and check out my gift guides for her…

I worked with Kildare Village during the Summer on their Day Trip to Chic campaign and was delighted to be contacted again by the team at Kildare Village who introduced me to #StepintotheStory. What a cute name for a Christmas campaign, it’s so very fairy-tale like which is perfect for this time of year.

Lulu Guinness Clutch Bag €345
Ted Baker bag €75
Radley handbag €99.50
Pandora Bracelet €23
Charms €16
Molton Brown Candle €29.40
Nespresso Machine from €149.99
Doodle Mugs Radley Gift Set €24

I’ve lusted after a Lulu Guinness clutch bag for as long as I can remember, there’s something about the iconic lips clutch which makes it a necessity for a fashionista. I think this would make the perfect extra special Christmas present for that lady in your life. Alternatively the gold sparkly bag from Ted Baker would make a great gift for the party girl. She will just have to wear it out on NYE. The Radley bags available at Kildare Village are an easy fix when shopping for a gift for your mother or mother-in-law and are fantastic value in the outlet centre. A Pandora bracelet is always an excellent choice for her. It also makes your future gift shopping a little easier as you can always guarantee to please by buying a charm for her bracelet for birthdays, Valentines etc. I love the Christmas themed charms available at the moment. Some practical gift ideas are also available at Kildare Village including the Nespresso machine which seems to be on everyones wish-list lately and is a guaranteed pleaser for that coffee-lover in your life. I also adore the Molton Brown candles and would love one of these as a gift. The pink pepper one smells delish! If you get a chance to pop out to Kildare Village there are also loads of cute little stocking filler ideas such as the Radley mug gift set. As you can see from the gift ideas I’ve selected above there’s quite a varied price range so you’re sure to find something to suit your gift budget.

I was asked by Kildare Village to chat about my memories of the ‘best gift’ I’ve received. I have to say every year I’m blown away by the amazing and thoughtful presents my parents give me. Santa is always there in our house really (even if I am in my mid-twenties LOL) so to pick the best one is quite a challenge. One of my favourite ones was a gift bag filled with MAC pigment dust eye shadow powders in 52 different colours. Mam got my sister and I a different one every week for the full year and put together an amazing gift package with the eye shadows. I’ve never been short on eye makeup since! The thought that goes into gifts like this which clearly aren’t last minute present pick-ups really means a lot.

With up to 60% off super stylish brands #StepintotheStory this Christmas at Kildare Village. I love the videos launched with the campaign and you can watch the ‘best friends’ video below. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to make a road trip to Kildare Village before Christmas 🙂
