Start your visit to Dundrum with a focus on giving. Bring your Christmas list, check it twice and set off. There are options for everyone from family, friends or the office Kris Kindle. Pick up gifts from Rituals to fill homes with warmth and joy, and fly by Space NK for curated gift sets for the beauty lovers in your life. Dubray books will have what you need for avid readers – plus other stationery and chocolate gifts as stocking fillers. The expert staff at Weir & Sons will guide you in selecting a special piece for someone who will really appreciate it this year. The Crystals and Co pop-up is the must-stop shop to find eye-catching jewellery pieces, especially for the Gen Z in your life.
On your way around, pay a visit to the Christmas Shop in Brown Thomas and choose from its range of dazzling decorations to adorn your home, festive toys for little ones or personalised stockings for all the family. For more lifestyle and homewares, visit Dunnes Stores to fill up your home with Christmas cheer and prepare your home for hosting over the festive period. Sarah Louise Interiors boasts a variety of elegant décor for inside and out, so don’t forget to add it to your must-visit list.
Get ready to feel fabulous this party season with River Island’s selection of sparkly bags, feathered heels and sequined dresses. Be sure to stop by Odd Muse at Harvey Nichols for its elegant selection of fitted day-to-night dresses, blazers and suits to match all seasons. We can’t get enough of jewelled ballet pumps and party dresses at Hobbs London, while Sinead Keary The Label (now on Level 2) is the go-to destination for elegant outfits, adorable accessories and luxurious pajamas. Marks & Spencer is famous for the latest trends of the season from sequins, to suits or the latest collaboration with Sienna Miller.
Take a break mid-shop or wrap up the day with a coffee from Butlers Chocolates on Level 1, or why not have a memorable meal in one of Dundrum’s selection of delicious restaurants. Jamie’s Italian is the perfect perch for families and small groups alike with an Italian specialty for everyone on the menu. Visit the LOFT at Donnybrook Fair for a gorgeous brunch or wood-fired pizza and be sure to pick up some baked goods in the food market below before you leave. Smooch Dessert Café at the courtyard is a must-stop for those with a sweet tooth and an appreciation for a freshly made waffle stack or açai bowl. For some action, make a visit to Dundrum on Ice, or relax for a while with a trip to the cinema at Movies@Dundrum.
As for taking care of you, Dundrum Town Centre has a host of expert beauty salons and services to help you rest and relax after a busy day of shopping, or to get beautified for the party season. Book an appointment for a manicure and a pedicure at Edvard + Pink spa or treat yourself to a massage – all at the top floor of Dundrum. Mudpie Beauty is located in the Pembroke district and offers a wide range of services from lashes to brows, massage and waxing, as well as many special offers to get the works! A seriously convenient location for a day out at Dundrum. For a fresh cut, blow-dry or party up-do, head to Hermans Hair on Level 1, and the welcoming staff will take care of you there.
Hot off the press!
14 Day Mani has announced the first ever retail experience, a Pick n’ Mix pop-up now open on Level 1. At this candy shop for your nails, you can see a curated edit of gel shades to mix and match a bespoke At-Home Gel Polish Kit for yourself or your nail-obsessed friend. You can also book an appointment with their on-site manicurist for a luxury gel mani experience that will leave your nails flawless and ready for the Christmas season. There are even ‘play to win’ games to take home a prize or receive an exclusive discount.
Last but not least, make a final stop at the Giving Tree on Level 1 and leave a gift or tap to donate to Children In Hospital. All donations will go to a child or parent in need this Christmas. It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of Christmas – and good to remind ourselves that it won’t be fun for everyone this year. Dundrum gives us that opportunity to give a little to those who need it most.
