Hendrick’s Gin and Tea Cup Gift Set

Now, here’s a suggestion that’s both classy and playful. For those who enjoy some good ol’ gin, the Hendrick’s Gin and Tea Cup Gift Set brings some fun to the table. Hendrick’s Gin is famous for its distinct cucumber flavour, and it’s the perfect gift when you don’t want to show up to a gathering empty-handed.

So if you’re getting together with people who won’t say no to a cocktail, why not surprise your host (and the other guests) with something unexpected that adds some flair to the celebration?

MUJI Cool Touch Cushion

Know someone who just moved into a new place or is overdue for a cosy touch? Let me tell you all about the MUJI Cool Touch Cushion. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill throw pillow; it’s crafted with highly conductive fabric that feels – as the name suggests – cool to the touch, making it a saving grace in Singapore’s ruthless, humid climate.
Ideal for lazy lounging and the occasional mid-afternoon nap (oops, guilty as charged), this cushion’s gusseted design allows it to moonlight as a backrest, headrest, and lower back support when you’re curled up on a couch. As for the colours, think calming shades like mint green and light blue, subtly blending into any space.
Oh, and if spills or mischievous pet takeovers are of concern, fear not – this cushion’s machine-washable! So if you’re thinking of a special someone (or yourself) who could use an extra slice of comfort in their life, this one’s, dare I say, a cool gift choice.

Dyson Airstrait straightener in Ceramic Pink/Rose Gold
Hair styling is super fun – until it’s not. Flat irons, blow dryers, round brushes…why does it always feel like gearing up for battle? If only the Dyson Airstrait was around when I first straightened my hair and ended up looking like a frizzy poodle. I saw someone on TikTok crown this baby the “PS5 for girls.” – and honestly, I get the hype. No hot plates, no excessive heat damage, just flawlessly smooth, shiny hair in record time – because this sought-after hair tool straightens and dries hair simultaneously!
Here’s how this gizmo works. The Airstrait uses powerful airflow instead of traditional hot plates, meaning no more frying hair to a crisp to achieve the perfect style. Wet-to-dry styling? It’s got modes for that. A quick touch-up on dry hair? Covered. A Cool Mode to set the look in place? Oh, absolutely. It even pauses automatically if it’s put down for more than three seconds – safety first.
And the limited edition Ceramic Pink/Rose Gold colour looks like it’d be such a chic addition to anyone’s vanity. If you know someone who’s tired of juggling multiple tools, they deserve this upgrade for Christmas!

When in doubt, go for a practical gift – so here’s another one that deserves some noise! Introducing the Bbyeol Lynx Tankless Water Purifier – instant access to hot, cold, and room-temperature water, all at the touch of a button.
Thirsty for a chill glass of water to down, a warm one to sip on, or something in between? The Lynx has six temperature settings to suit every preference. It’s also got four dispensing sizes – from a 100ml to a generous 2,000ml pour – so less water goes down the drain, and more goes where it’s needed.
And that’s not all. This water purifier takes it up a notch with its self-cleaning function, UV-C sterilisation, and multi-stage filtration system. So you can kiss goodbye to harmful chemicals, lingering bacteria, and funky odours – and instead enjoy water that’s clean, fresh, and full of minerals like magnesium and calcium.
Oh, and for your peace of mind, the child lock feature keeps little hands safe – no grabbing hot water by accident! So if you’ve got a busy household – or know someone who does – this is a great high-tech but low-maintenance gift that’ll keep on giving.

Fenty Skin Fruit Quench’RZ Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil Trio (Holiday Limited Edition)
Breaking my silence – lip glosses look stunning, but they get messy. If you know, you know. They’re often too sticky, too heavy, or end up bleeding out the corners of your lips. But lip oils? That’s where it’s at – like the Fenty Skin Fruit Quench’RZ Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil Trio! These oils nourish the lips with a glossy finish without the usual stickiness of traditional glosses. Their lightweight formula leaves a subtle shine that enhances natural lips while keeping them soft and comfortable.
Naturally, with Rihanna behind Fenty, these shades – Barbados Cherry, Kalahari Melon, and Passion Fruit – are as universal as her music, flattering all skin tones. Whether you’re gifting this to someone into that “clean girl” aesthetic or a full glam, this set’s pretty versatile. They can pair one with a lip liner for bolder definition, or swipe it on bare lips for a natural look.
And with three to choose from, they’ll always have one on hand. They can stash one at their desk, in their handbag, on their bedside table – anywhere that calls for a quick refresh. So treat them to some extra lip care!

Nature’s Farm Collagen Hero

When it comes to beauty, there’s nothing like nourishing from within. So let me summon Nature’s Farm Collagen Hero – the supplement that’s all about glowing from the inside out. This drink is ideal for those who want to even out skin tone and pigmentation while managing the inevitable signs of ageing and giving collagen production a little boost.
With a hefty 5,800mg of marine collagen peptides, each sachet of Collagen Hero is a concentrated burst of fruity goodness that hydrates, repairs, and smoothens skin – while showing some love to your hair and nails some too! Is it just me or is this starting to sound like a full internal spa treatment?
I may have tempted you to snag one for yourself, so this doesn’t just have to be for Mom or Grandma! If you’re above 40 and want to stay ahead of the ageing game, this one’s got your back (and your skin, and your hair!).

medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0
Who could say no to a glow-up? The medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 is here to work its magic! These dual-textured toner pads fight against enlarged pores and uneven skin texture with active ingredients that exfoliate, tighten, and regulate sebum all at once!
What are the two textures, you ask? The embossed side exfoliates, while the silky side hydrates and smooths for a refreshed, glowing complexion. Infused with an AHA fruit complex, these pads gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while salicylic acid – derived from willow bark – helps unclog pores and keep acne at bay. There are even soothing extracts, such as tea tree leaf, that calm irritation, leaving skin soft and refreshed.
Just be sure to give whoever you’re gifting a heads-up to pair this with a good moisturizer (especially when first adding it to their routine) to keep their skin balanced, and they’ll soon be looking their best! So if your loved one’s dealing with stress and needs some self-care, show them a little TLC!
