It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas with festive family gatherings, delightful holiday feasts and good cheer all around to look forward to. It is also the time of the year where you get to play Santa and delight your loved ones with carefully chosen gifts that suit their preferences and personalities.

To make this year’s holiday gifting especially memorable, here is our edit of the most unique presents to surprise your friends and family with.

Raise a toast to good health in the coming year with this ginger champagne that has actual health benefits. The sparkling beverage is packed with vitamin C and has notes of ginger to aid in digestion.

To reduce nausea and cramps or help to fight flu and colds, make yourself a glass of ginger champagne to relieve those symptoms. Preparing it is such a breeze – simply mix one sachet of ginger champagne powder with cold water and watch it fizzle. If you know someone who may be seeking to boost their immune system, this could be the perfect gift for them. Say cheers!

For a beauty lover, you can’t go wrong with gifting them a set of bird’s nests that helps enhance collagen production for a radiant complexion. Take it one step further with NestBloom's The Signature Assortment of beautiful bird’s nest blooms which are crafted into intricate shapes of flowers.

Unlike regular bird’s nest, each aesthetic bloom is made with bird’s nest and almond milk, then freeze dried to preserve the nutrients and maintain the stunning floral shape of the bloom. When hot water is added, it dissolves to form a delicious and creamy bird’s nest drink that tastes like it has been freshly brewed from the stove.

Do you have a group of mahjong “kakis” (friends) that you play with regularly? Get the conversation going at your next gathering with this box of mahjong chocolates which comprises the full set of 50 tiles. Made with rich dark chocolate and covered with a layer of vanilla white chocolate, this is certainly an indulgent festive treat for the dessert table, especially among those who love this game.

For the hostess with the mostess, present her with this stylish, polished stainless-steel Georg Jensen champagne cooler. It is ergonomically designed to hold a bottle (or three) at just the right angle without tipping over. The cooler’s sculptural shape and abstract lines also make it a unique piece that will effortlessly elevate any tablescape.

With multiple programmes to stir ingredients, knead dough and bake bread or cakes, this easy-to-use, high quality bread maker will make an ideal gift for a cooking enthusiast. More than that, this nifty kitchen appliance will also offer your family members or friends an opportunity to spend more quality time with their loved ones as they experiment with different recipes together – before sitting down to feast on freshly home baked goodies.

The stylish home entertainer will love having this chic vintage-style portable radio speaker by Divoom to play upbeat Christmas tunes at his or her next party. With Bluetooth audio and FM radio modes as well as a five-hour playback time, this fine-tuned speaker is also light enough to be carried in a bag, making it a great addition to a picnic in the park or a day at the beach.

This cute figurine featuring the graceful Singapore Girl in her iconic sarong kebaya uniform and a child holding a Mickey Mouse toy is Singapore Airlines’ 2020 collaboration with Precious Moments. Hand-sculpted and hand-painted, this emblem of the Singapore Airlines crew’s hospitable spirit will be an elegant addition to the display shelf of someone who appreciates limited edition collectibles.

A memorable gift does not necessarily have to be extravagant. Your eco-conscious buddy will appreciate knowing that this limited-edition batik clutch bag and notebook are both sustainably made with batik fabric trimmings left over from tailoring the Singapore Airlines crew’s sarong kebaya uniforms. The notebook is carefully hand-bound by SPD, a local charity supporting persons with disabilities, making your gift an extra special one that goes towards a good cause.

This ultra-portable and ultra-quiet massage device is a considerate gift that will be appreciated by those who are always on the go. The device runs on three speeds for up to 150 minutes to provide a therapeutic treatment for sore muscles by reducing tension, soothing aches and enhancing muscle recovery.

Besides being perfect for use after a workout, it is also an ideal desktop companion for those who suffer from a tight neck, shoulders or back when working for long hours in front of a laptop.

If you know a scent-holic who loves fragrances and aromatherapy, this unique wax-based perfume by Maison 21G will be a cool gift to add to their collection. Unlike typical liquid perfumes, this solid perfume can be easily stashed in a bag for on-the-go touch ups. Made from beeswax, shea butter, virgin almond oil and infused with the scent of your choice, this product can also be applied on the lips or to soothe rough or itchy spots on the skin.

This high-tech hair and scalp device will elevate your loved one’s hair care routine well beyond typical conditioners or hair creams and elixirs. Its LED technology delivers wavelengths that stimulate scalp tissue activity to encourage hair growth and a healthy scalp for a thicker and lusher crowning glory.

Programmed with three different modes, this device, which is worn like a cap, also has a convenient voice guide to guide users through the session. This frees up time for your loved ones to do other things, whether it is completing chores or relaxing with a book, while getting a pampering treatment all at once.

Festive gifts can also come in the form of experiences, like this indulgent brunch at The Fullerton Hotel’s Town Restaurant. Gather your best girlfriends and loved ones for an afternoon of quality time together where you can toast to each other with free flow champagne, wine, and cocktails and feast on favourites such as chilled Maine lobster and Eggs Benedict.

While you are there, take the opportunity to enjoy a post-brunch stroll down the picturesque Singapore River in good company.
