Secret Santa gifts can be super hard to nail sometimes, especially when there's a cap on the price. 

You want something that's thoughtful but also something that they will use and not throw away after one use. And you also want to make them happy and jump for joy, yes? 

So, to help you along the way, we've found some fab gifts to get your friends/co-workers/family for Secret Santa: 

1. For the pug lover

Most people are bound to love animals, and what better gift than a pug mug! It's super cute and will be the best mug you've ever seen in the house or office.

Biba's Pug Mug, €8

2. For the one with a sweet tooth

If you have a friend who just loves old-school sweets, they will be delighted with this! And to be honest, you can't get much better than a hamper full of delicious candy.

Retro Sweet Gift Box, €13.50

Available at Hampers & Co. 

 

3. For the soon-to-be bride

If your Secret Santa is planning a wedding in the next year, this is the perfect gift. It's the only up-to-date guide if you're getting married in Ireland. Handy!

As we all know, House of Fraser in Dundrum is like a fashion and beauty treasure chest.

Students are invited in-store for a full evening of discounts next Wednesday, October 14 from 6pm to 10pm.

There will be discounts of up to 20 percent off across fashion and 10 percent off beauty – so if you need a few fresh bits for college, this is a definite must. 

Also on the night, you will be served complimentary drinks by Yellow Tail, be able to attend an Urban Decay workshop (so your make-up is on-point) and DJ Alex Donald will also be playing some tunes on the night.

This is something you don't want to miss!

Get ready for amazing fashion this season!

We just arrived back from the House Of Fraser AW 2015 press preview… and yes, the new season stock is to-die-for. 

The event was held in The Dean hotel in Dublin and was decorated beautifully with gold graphics and pink flowers.

We were welcomed by a number of HoF folk in-the-know, and they happily took us through forthcoming season and what to expect.

Between yummy shortbread biscuits (yes!) and a fruit juice punch (hurrah!), the afternoon got us totally excited for autumn – and what we'll be wearing during the new season.

Labels such as Biba, Therapy, Label Lab and MaxMara Weekend will all be making a comeback with the new stock due in stores mid-September. 

In fact, expect to see the department store full of muted tones from grey to burgundy and green to black. 

MaxMara Weekend is going a bit brighter this AW with cream and white hitting its main stage. But fear not, if you want to be bright for Christmas, Biba and Label Lab are both bringing back colourful sequins with a bang. 

Their home wares and handbags are already in stock (run!). With animal print, leather and fur on offer, you'll basically turn heads on the street.

 

Here are a few snaps of our absolute favourties… Happy shopping!
