Sparkle, the Sunday World’s new Christmas gift guide was launched at a glitzy ceremony in Residence, St Stephen’s Green in Dublin and the goodie bags were fabulous thanks to their friends in Penneys, Listoke 1777 Gin, Madison Make-up, Jameson, Waterwipes, Gino’s Gelatos and iClothing.

Whether you’re looking for a present for your feline-loving best friend, sophisticated boss or wellness-obsessed other half, they’ve got the holiday season wrapped up so you don’t lose your sparkle.

Style guru Darren Kennedy, who has teamed up with Xpose star Glenda Gilson to pick out THE most stylish gifts for that someone special in your life, was in attendance along with Sunday World resident chef Kevin Dundon who has chosen the kitchen and foodie favourites that he can’t live without to feature in the ultimate gift guide.

Guests were treated to hair by Preen and make-up by Benefit and Aimee Connolly. Xpose make-up expert and blogger Aimee Connolly has also revealed to Sparkle her recommendations on the products she truly believes in for makeup lovers in your life. Plus, after you’ve eaten all that, you will need a soft, cosy blanket to snuggle up in and their Interiors Editor has some beautiful suggestions for you.

The Sunday World’s 2017 gift guide Sparkle featured in the glossy Magazine+ on December 3rd, detailing the best gifts to put under the Christmas tree for the festive season (trust us: we’ve tried & tested everything!)
