Ulster Tatler speaks to Cherry Love from Lovely Looks Boutique on...

What is at the top of your Christmas list this year?

I am very much looking forward to having all the family together this Christmas and time off to enjoy our little granddaughter.

What is the best Christmas gift you have ever recieved?

The best Christmas present would have to be my Jimmy Choos from my husband, especially as he thought of them without any prompting! However, just having the family together is a gift in itself.

Do you have any advice on Christmas gift planning and how to stay organised as well as within a budget?

Start buying your gifts early as then you can choose what you really want and not what’s left over in December! I love buying smaller items and putting them together as a gift instead of one big present unless of course, one big present is what the person needs or wants. If you start shopping early you can budget better over a few months instead of buying gifts from your last pay cheque before Christmas. Make good use of the local shops offering Christmas clubs as you can pay off as and when suits you.

What are some good ideas for stocking fillers or secret santa presents?

Some great stocking filler or secret santa ideas are practical items like socks, scarves, gloves, earrings, brooches, jewellery or even a gift voucher for a local shop. It’s always great to support your local businesses as they will help you budget with Christmas clubs and also give great advice on gift buying.
