Quiz your nearest and dearest
The trick here is dropping present ideas into conversation, but not in an obvious way.
If an ad comes on TV or you see something while browsing online, casually mention it when chatting to see if they're on the same page.
Think back to things your friends and families may have mentioned during the year but never bought.
It's thoughtful gifts like this that show you've really listened to them and will win you significant brownie points.
A statement timepiece is always a welcome present
Set some time aside
Some of us prep for the festive season doing a little bit here and there while others prefer to get it over in one go.
If you can at all, try and aim for a mid-week day, early in the morning.
Having recently gone shopping on a Wednesday, expecting it to be quiet, I was surprised to find that it wasn't. Not at all.
So if it's busy during the week in early December, I don't need to tell you what the rest of the month will be like.
Shopping can be fun, when you're not battling your way to the front of the queue.
Help is at hand
If you're really stuck and at a complete loss for what to buy someone, gift guides can come in very handy.
Particularly for Dads, they always seem to get landed with socks/aftershave/the reliable jumper and shirt combo so a little inspiration is no harm.
There's endless ideas on the internet and in magazine supplements so don't stress too much if you're at a complete loss about what to buy this year.
With the Swatch Christmas & Aprés Ski collection you don’t have to worry about the frenzy and stress of finding the perfect gifts on time! Definitely a gift for someone who has made the ‘nice’ list, the collection encapsulates ultimate slope style.
Inspired by winter colour palettes, snowflake designs and glistening gold Christmas decorations, they're perfect timepieces that will add sparkle to any outfit both on and off the slopes. To purchase any of these products, call into one of Swatch’s Dublin stores or visit stockists nationwide.
