Join Editor-in-Chief Lizzie Gore-Grimes as she goes shopping at Paul Sheeran

We all have people in our lives for whom only the best will do. Perhaps you want to mark a significant year for them, or simply give a gift that will last a lifetime. 

This year, for the special gifts on her list, editor-in-chief Lizzie Gore-Grimes is heading to Paul Sheeran. Their original jewellery boutique in Johnson’s Court is the perfect place to find a piece they’ll treasure forever, while their new collection of boutiques on Chatham Row has an incredible selection of fine watches from the world’s leading brands. Not to mention their Montblanc store on Anne Street South – there’s truly something for everyone.

Plus, these luxurious stores with their five-star experience means that you’ll enjoy a truly relaxed shopping experience, with expert staff on hand to help you select the perfect piece – many of which you won’t find anywhere else in Ireland. Here’s what Lizzie is shopping for this season.

For her niece

Lizzie loves this circle pendant and has earmarked it for her niece, Lilly, who’s in her early twenties. Its simple and elegant shape means it’s a classic that will stand the test of time, while yellow gold is particularly popular at the moment. 

It’s also incredibly versatile, as it has a reversible design. The circle can be worn with the diamonds to the front, or turned around to show gold on the other side, plus it can be worn at different lengths, so will work with any outfit.

For her husband

A gift any watch aficionado will thank you for, Lizzie has her eyes on this Tag Heuer Carrera watch for her husband Nico. With its sporty, contemporary style, and contrasting sleek blue design and orange highlights, it’s a gift that will be treasured for a lifetime.

For her mum 

A dedicated letter writer, Lizzie’s mum, Judith, will be thrilled with this classic Montblanc fountain pen. It has a beautiful weight, meaning it is a pleasure to use, while you can choose your preferred width of nib to customise it exactly to your needs.

Here are IMAGE’s picks from Paul Sheeran for everyone else on your list. 

For your daughter 

Whether you want to give her a special piece that she’ll wear every day and treasure forever, or mark a significant year, such as a graduation or milestone birthday, this Luminor Due Prada Re-Nylon is a gorgeous watch that feels modern yet elegant.   

For your brother-in-law 

He’s hard to buy for, but you know he’ll love this sleek notebook, perfect for keeping track of everything from work notes to to-do lists. And with its silver-edged pages and understated cover, it’s a cut above your average offering.

For your sister 

She always goes above and beyond for you, so thank her this year with a truly special piece of jewellery. These diamond hoop earrings are simple enough to be worn every day, where they will elevate any look, while their chunky style is cool yet classic.

For your father 

What better gift to give one of the most important men in your life than a timeless watch? As well as its stunning design, he’ll be fascinated by its perpetual calendar, which has been mechanically programmed for 577 years – certainly one to pass down through the family. 

For your best friend

She’s with you through thick and thin, so if you’re looking for something to show her how much you appreciate her, why not gift a showstopping piece of jewellery? This aquamarine cluster necklace has a distinctive design that is bound to turn heads, and she’ll think of you every time she wears it. 

For your godmother

She has looked out for you since you were a child, and you want to find something special to show how much it means. This Tudor Royal has a sumptuous chocolate brown dial set with diamonds and a yellow gold bezel, a truly chic combination.

For dropping him a hint…

If you’re hoping for him to ask you a certain question soon, there’s no harm in sending a few subtle hints. You could start off by mentioning how much you love this oval cut solitaire diamond ring. Made from 18ct yellow gold with a claw setting and pavé shoulders, it’s a timeless piece that will be admired for years to come. 

For yourself

If you want to treat yourself this year, then what could be better than this stunning Cartier watch? Incredibly elegant, its simplicity is among its greatest characteristics, meaning it’s a piece you’ll never want to take off.
