Written by We’re all culprits of last minute shopping, even though we vowed last year that this Christmas would be different! The weather was horrendous, your Christmas party hangover lasted a week, you simply couldn’t be bothered; whatever your excuse, time has run out.
Thankfully we’re here and there’s no need to fret. Dublin City centre has an array of choice, one stop shops so that you can run into town and we promise you’ll be done in a couple of hours.
Here are our last minute gift ideas for the loved ones in your life.
