Daily Gift Idea!

Initially I was going to combine all my gift ideas into one post but there's going to be so many new products being released and deals coming up in the next few weeks so I decided on a  "Daily Gift Idea". I'll just add one item each day of great gift ideas!

 

 

Daily Gift Idea December 11th - Rua Treats

Rua is one of my ultimate favourite shops in Dublin! It sells the cutest home wares, jewellery and other trinkets. Pop into Rua on Capel Street or visit their website for some very unique stocking fillers! Perfect for someone who recently moved into a new home!

 

Folk Mugs €6.95 each

 

Bird Jewellery Stand €9.95

 

Fairy Dust Candle €9.95

Daily Gift Idea December 11th - Boots Star Gift

It's the star gift we've all been waiting for, the half price Soap & Glory gift box from Boots!!! I buy one of these every year (usually for myself) because it truly is a great deal. All the Soap & Glory products smell divine, but on their own can be a bit pricey! This years gift set "The Next Big Thing" includes some of the best Soap & Glory products such as Heel Genius and The Righteous Butter and will be reduced from €76 to €36 from this Friday. Now not that you need anymore convincing but the combined cost of all the individual products is €108 and you get a very pretty storage box too! Be quick because this deal only lasts a week and is definitely the most anticipated Star Gift!

 

 

 

Daily Gift Idea December 10th - Taylor Swift Tickets

It was announced yesterday that Taylor Swift will be performing in Dublin on June 29th as part of her 1989 World Tour and everyone and their mother wants to go! I'm 26 and I'd love to see her, I really wish I wasn't such a fan but her songs are just so catchy! Tickets for her concert go on sale on Monday at 9am on Ticketmaster for about €75, and I'm sure it will sell out! And if you don't think whoever you're buying for is a Taylor fan, tickets for Nicki Minaj, playing March 31st, go on sale this Friday! Choose wisely....these will be two very different shows!

 

 

Daily Gift Idea December 9th - Kindle eReader

I wouldn't go as far as to call myself a bookworm, but I do love my Kindle! It's a great gadget to have especially for the bus, train, holidays or just sitting in the park during the summer. The Kindle has a dull screen that looks just like a book and is light and thin enough to carry around. The most basic one, which I have, is available in Currys for €79 and is great. You can download whatever book you want for way cheaper than a hard back copy and the battery lasts ages, like about 8 weeks! Any this present is suitable for anyone, any age!

 

 

 

Daily Gift Idea December 8th - Gadgets Galore

Apologies for the lack of gift ideas over the weekend, I was very busy on Saturday then very hung over on Sunday! But I'm back with loads more great gift ideas! Today's gift idea is a great little gadget, perfect for any phone addict. We've all been there when our phone is at 20% battery then suddenly dies! There is nothing worse! #firstworldproblems. 

I got one of these power bank chargers from my boyfriend a while ago, because my phone was constantly dying. And I have to say it's the handiest thing to throw in your bag! You charge up this charger box at home, then when you're out and about and your phone dies you plug your phone into the box and charge it on the go, no plug sockets involved. It's a great little stocking filler and they're only about €10. They're available in any phone shop, EuroGiant and they're often on Groupon or one of those deal pages. So handy to have and so inexpensive as well!

 

 

 

 

Daily Gift Idea December 5th - Dear Diary

Another cheap and cheerful gift idea. These diaries from Paperchase are so cute and a nice change from the usual plain diary, I'm in college so a diary is essential for me to keep track of everything I have to do! Paperchase have a very large concession in Arnotts, with a huge range of quirky stationary, photo frames, phone covers, nail stickers and loads of other bits! These diaries are €11-17 so grab one of these for the organised lady in your life!

 

 

Daily Gift Idea December 4th - Beautiful Bag

This day three weeks, the lady in your life will be ripping apart wrapping paper and here's something that will definitely make her eyes light up! This Carvela Kurt Geiger handbag from Arnotts is just bag perfection! A black bag like this will last years, and it's a great size for nights out. As mush as we like cute little clutch bags, they literally hold nothing! And at €70 it's not a bad price, there's also a larger version for €90, my eyes are on the smaller one though! Have a look at the smaller bag here or the larger one here, and if you want to avoid the mayhem of town for the next few weeks Arnotts offer free delivery on orders over €50! The perfect present is only a click away!

 

 

 

Daily Gift Idea December 3rd - Under €25 Make Up Sets

I came across these make up sets on ASOS yesterday and thought they'd be perfect Kris Kindle presents. If you're doing Kris Kindle in work and you don't really know the person you're buying for, it can be quite hard to choose a gift! I'll never forget the year my brother gave his female colleague three selection boxes for her present! I hope she was a serious chocolate lover! If you want to be a bit more thoughtful, these four make up sets are nice and cheap and in my opinion, look pretty decent. I love the Kate Moss collection from Rimmel so these sets would be right my alley or suitable for any make up lover. Also you can order them from ASOS so you don't even have to go near the shops!

Daily Gift Idea December 2nd - Instant Camera

Today's gift idea is an instant camera! I know it sounds a bit old fashioned and they are a bit expensive but from personal experience they're deadly! I bought Dean (my boyfriend) a Polaroid camera in Urban Outfitters about 3 years ago and it was probably one of the best presents I ever bought him. The pictures print straight away, there's no filters or editing involved so it's a great way to create natural, candid photos. Myself and Dean have so many great pictures from family events and days out, that aren't just stored on a phone or laptop.

 

The prints for the camera are a tad expensive but I'd buy a pack of them about twice a year and make them last! And even though I bought the camera for a 28 year old man this present is suitable for anyone, any age! If your struggling to buy a big enough present for a teenager to a twenty something year old, this is a great idea! These one's in the picture below are Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera and come in a range of colours, available in Urban Outfitters for €90, shop here!

 

 

Dean's brilliant photography skills!

 

Daily Gift Idea December 1st - Instyler

The Instyler is one of the most talked about hair tools since the straightener was invented. Not only does it straighten and curl your hair but you can use it for tight curls, big curls, loose waves or just to give your roots a bit of volume. It's been half price (€55) in Boots since Saturday but sold out within hours, they do have it back in stock today and you can get it here but be quick as the offer ends today!! I've heard great things about this products and many hairdressers use it too! A great present for anyone with hair!

Daily Gift Idea November 30th - Ryan Gosling Calendar

A Ryan Gosling calendar.....and I'll say no more!! What girl doesn't want to stare at this dreamboat all day long? Available on Asos.com or I'd say you could pick one up in the calendar shop!

Daily Gift Idea November 29th - Folkster Favourites

If you haven't heard of Folkster then you need to pull your head out of the sand! It's the most beautiful shop with locations in Temple Bar and Kilkenny, selling the prettiest things! Head in there if the lady in your life enjoys all things vintage or quirky. Some of the things can be quite pricey such as this FABULOUS cape (€169!!) but not everything will break the bank! It's also a great shop for vintage style home ware and boho style jewellery.....I've got my eye on them necklaces (€25 each)! Shop online here.

Daily Gift Idea November 28th - Urban Decay Naked On The Run

This Urban Decay Naked On The Run Palette is something I have been drooling over since pictures of it hit the internet. Urban Decay have proven time and time again that they can make the perfect palettes and hopefully this one won't disappoint! It includes six new eye shadows, blusher, bronzer, travel size mascara, travel size eye liner and a full size lip gloss all which come in a very pretty case. Perfect for any Urban Decay addict! Available in Debenhams from December 4th for €44

Cough cough family members....I want this!
