Rushmere-mens By Katrina Doran

Christmas is nearly here and Rushmere Shopping Centre is jam-packed with lots of gorgeous gifts that won't break your budget!

Gifts should be something that the person will appreciate and that will make them smile on Christmas morning so with that in mind we've picked out favourite items from throughout the centre from fun ideas for Secret Santa to luxurious treats to swoon over on Christmas morning – all for under £50!

Boys can be hard to buy for so our top tip is to apply a bit of common sense and ask them what they want! Game at Rushmere is a one-stop-shop for fun ideas for guys who love their gaming while HMV is bursting with gift ideas for music lovers!

It's hard to go wrong with a fragrance gift set as not only does it offer great value – but it'll have your guy smelling gorgeous. Boss Orange is a warm and spicy scent that's perfect for winter months.

Knitwear is a great gift at Christmas with scarves, hats and cosy jumpers and cardis keeping your loved one wrapped up warm. We loved the red v-neck by St George by Duffer at Debenhams – very festive as well as fashionable.

When buying presents for your female family and friends there are two options to go for – girlie girls or practical princesses! Girlie girls will love anything pink, fluffily and covered in sparkle. A glittering pendant, bracelet or cocktail ring will dazzle them on Christmas morning! If they love jewellery a stylish jewellery keeper will look stunning on their boudoir dressing table and also display their bling to full effect. Practical princesses will be pleased with presents that solve a problem or have a functional nature. Slipper boots can still be fun and fabulous but they'll keep their kebs cosy and warm as well as look cute and stylish. If they need a new handbag for work or play – Rushmere has so many options from classy Kelly-style bags in Dunnes to designer discounts in TK Maxx – look out for the Patrick Cox brand, as the discounts are amazing!
