Ideas for Christmas pressie

CarMe

This is a bit of a strange one, me and my boyfriend aren't exactly flush at the moment but as its our first Christmas living together and first Christmas with our baby we've set aside 100 each for each other but because we're pretty tight we want to have a good idea of what each other wants. I'm on a diet at the moment and intend on losing quite a lot of weight so sadly clothes are a no no but its rare I'd get to have my pick of anything up to 100euro just for me so I'm calling on you stylish lot to give me ideas on what to "ask for" I know its silly but no point in getting stuff we don't really want.

I did see a girl with a black pauls boutique bag covered in tiny diamonds and it looked great, not my usual style but I've gotten very "mammy" like lately so I'm hoping you lit can come up with something that'll make me feel just a wee bit stylish again

Hihello

I'd go with a great pair of heels, you cant really go wrong with that, they will last a long time and never go out of fashion if you get a neutral colour or if you dont want heels then maybe boots or a quality pair of flats.or a nice quality leather bag maybe. I'd look on asos.com its a great place to start looking for ideas they have lots of different brands that suit every budget

or maybe a nice piece of jewellery or a watch. I was out in the newbridge silver shop the other day and got lovely jewellery at reasonable prices. or a name chain i think a real gold name chain is a gorgeous present and something that will go with everything and that you can wear everyday.

As for the pauls boutique bag, I'd skip the one covered in diamonds I know is lovely to look at but could you see yourself using it in one or two years time, for the price is it really worth it? you could proberly get a decent enough guess one in bt2 for around 100e

OR just get the money and wait till the sales and head into bts, arnotts, HOF, etc and pick something for yourself that might be more expensive but reduced down to around 100

Hope that helped your dead right picking your present, I just tell everyone exactly what to get me I'd rather know what I was getting than be let down by a suprise!

Happy Xmas!

I'm with Hihello's suggestion of keeping the money for the sales:) Get your boyfriend to mind the baby for a few hours and head off on 27th, you'll get a lot more for your 100 euro! Alternatively, Debenhams have 15% off all beauty and fragrance (ending today) so you could ask for some stuff you have been lusting after. The Urban Decay Naked Palette is down to €34 for example, I treated myself to it after getting an early Christmas present of some dosh.
