Christmas is around the corner and this means lesser time to shop for your gatherings and meetups. If you’re still busy with last minute deadlines, work and errands and find yourself having no time for your Christmas shopping, we’ve got your back. Here’s a simple list for anyone who needs to do some last-minute Christmas shopping!
For the Practical Friend
When it comes to practicality, other than shopping mall vouchers, why not treat your friend to a movie or a relaxing trip to an onsen?
GV Movie Vouchers
GV Movie Vouchers can go from as low as $10. If you’re feeling generous, you can even treat your friend to a Gold Class Movie ($29-$39) experience.
The purchasing method is simple. Simply order the tickets online and you can either do the self-collection from the GV Head Office at Suntec, or get it delivered to you via courier.

The best part is the recipient can redeem the services anytime within the next 12 months.
We also found a Shopee link where you can purchase an Onsen Day Pass for only $20.33! However, you must be a first-time customer to be eligible for this exclusive price. So, if you’ve not been there, why not make full use of this promotion and head down together with your friend?
For the Beauty-obsessed Junkie
Sephora is having lots of fabulous Christmas deals this season. What’s more, most of the gift sets come in presentable gift boxes and they also offer free wrapping service, so there’s no need for one to fret over handing an unpresentable gift to your friend at the party.
Take your pick from various brands such as Fresh, Tarte and Dr.Jart+. Our picks are the Fresh Charmed Lip Trio Set and Mini Mask Marvels Gift Set.
For the Foodie
Some say that a way to getting a girl’s heart is through filling the tummies. Well, same goes for the foodies!
Indulge in some festive pies from Elijah Pies, a recent Instagram sensation. They’ve recently launched a Mini Pies series – 2019 edition to end off the year with a bang. Some interesting flavours include: Peach Soju and Mango Caviar.
Simply place an order online or head down to their surprise bake sale this Saturday, 21st Dec.
Bakesale Location: 463 Crawford Lane #02-21 Singapore 190463 (5 mins walk from Lavender MRT)
For the Meticulous One
If your friend is always planning to the nearest 5 minutes, a planner or a scheduler is the perfect gift for him/her. Here are some inspirations for you:
Klosh – Black So Special Year Diary
Sleek and simple in design, a black coloured diary is perfect for those who are known to be sharp and clean.
Naiise – The Paper Bunny Regular Earth 2020 Planner
If your friend has a cheerful or bubbly personality, go for something more colourful but stick to a neutral palette to play it safe.
For the Friend That Always Says: ‘No Need Buy Anything For Me’
Sometimes, we can get a headache by thinking what to get for these friends, specifically those who always give and are lack of nothing! Why not donate to a charity which they’re interested in? If your friend is an animal lover, we recommend donating to the SPCA, WWF or help the Koalas who are currently suffering due to the bushfires in Australia.
If not, donate to the Singapore Children’s Society, where every amount will go in building a better future for those children or youth in need.
For the Gym Fanatic
We all have that one friend who’s always hitting the gym and posting selfies of his/her fitness progress on Instagram. If he/she spends most of their time in the gym, why not give him/her a new gym bag or a pair of training gloves?
For the Hands-On Friend
In case you didn’t know, there are several experiences you can surprise a friend within Singapore. This includes a one-day pottery trial session, to different Airbnb Experiences in Singapore.
Airbnb Experiences isn’t just for travellers!
There’s no need to take a 6-hour flight to Korea because did you know? You can learn how to make Kimchi right here in Singapore!
For the BFF
Personalize something for your close friends this Christmas via TheImprint. Items such as pouches, card holders, phone cases and notebooks are available for personalisation. If you’re in a rush, TheImprint is also having a Pop-Up Event at Somerset 313, right in front of Cotton On, where you can make use of their on-spot personalisation service.
