Christmas shopping is in full swing. WhatsApp groups are abuzz with wish lists, meanwhile gifting apps (if the family Kris Kindle has gone high-tech) are doing the leg work, thoughtfully nudging us to nab a particular item a loved one is lusting after. Whether the path to completing your Christmas shopping is straightforward or a little bit more of a freestyle, there’s one place that offers a solution. At Kildare Village, the host of luxury boutiques are perfect for Christmas shopping which, coupled with the slew of new brands and luxury services available, makes the Village a one stop shop for all your gifting needs. 

When it comes to gifting, there is so much newness at Kildare Village to spark joy. Fans of luxe basics will gravitate towards American Vintage for cosy chic separates, stock up on glow-getting beauty at Charlotte Tilbury or make a skincare obsessive happy with a gift from Pestle & Mortar, the Irish-owned natural skincare range from Kildare native Sonia Deasy. Embrace Left Bank chic with a look from BA&SH or Claudie Pierlot, the brand nailing the Parisian silhouette since 1984, where party wear is the last word in cool.

Shopping for the man in your life isn’t always easy – thankfully the array of luxe menswear boutiques at Kildare Village has you covered. Stop by The Kooples, Barbour, Penhaligon’s and Savoy Taylors Guild for the best in fashion and fragrance. 

For something special, why not visit The Enchanted Forest, a sustainable initiative that allows you to sponsor a tree in aid of Barretstown. It’s the perfect way to mark a special occasion, or life moment. What’s more, the native Irish tree will then be planted for you and your loved ones to visit over years to come. 

With friends and family? Put the simplicity – and some opulence – into shopping by booking an appointment at the Personal Shopping Suites, where a member of the discerning personal shopping team can help you find the perfect Christmas Day outfit. 

All done? Don’t forget to enjoy a post-shopping pit stop in delectable dining spots like Saba, Dunne & Crescenzi or Sprout & Co, or have an indulgent moment with a hot chocolate at Butlers or master chocolatier, Lindt. 

No matter what’s on your gifting list, we all want to make Christmas shopping as easy and stress free as possible, and possibly treat ourselves in the process – Kildare Village is the perfect spot for Christmas indulgence. 

Kildare Village is open from 9am to 8pm daily. For further information visit the Kildare Village website, or follow @kildarevillage.
