Last minute Christmas ideas that your loved one will actually like

It's getting close now; five days to go 'til Christmas! And if you're as badly organised as I am, you will be popping out to battle the crowds at lunchtime for some last minute shopping.

I often find that people are reluctant to buy vouchers for their loved ones as they see it as somewhat impersonal. I, on the other hand, quite like them, as long as they are broad enough to cover many shopping options like a One4All voucher, or for Dundrum Shopping Centre, for example.

Choosing something for someone you might not see on a day to day basis, however, can be difficult to get right. So, for you last minute shoppers who are 'anti-voucher', here are some quick and easy Christmas present ideas.

  • Luna by Cara €39

pillow case

This is for the hair and beauty lover in your life. This 100% silk pillowcase is available in two colours  (white and ivory) and is designed to promote a whole range of skin and health benefits. So, if your loved one struggles constantly with bedhead or sleep lines and crease marks on their face, this is the perfect gift.

Unlike cotton, silk doesn't absorb moisture from your face or hair so all that lovely moisture stays in your hair and skin leaving you to wake up like a regular sleeping beauty.
