Christmas is arriving real soon — hooray! If you haven’t finished shopping for your Christmas gifts, don’t panic just yet. You wouldn’t want to risk ordering your presents online now because delivery is going to be guesswork.
Our suggestion: Head over to Takashimaya Department Store to get all your last-minute Christmas shopping sorted. This year, the Japanese retailer has made Christmas shopping extremely easy especially for stressed-out shoppers. Make your way to level 3 where you’ll find gifting ideas ranging from swim and beachwear to workout gear and lingerie. These will make perfect presents for sun lovers and fitness enthusiasts.
On the same level, there’s also Takashimaya’s curated gift section called Christmas Gift Box, plus a section dedicated to eco-friendly lifestyle and wellness items. You’ll be greeted by mood-lifting party props, stylish home and decor products, dazzling accessories and more. In other words, you’ll never run out of ideas on what presents to get for everyone on your shopping list.
Need a little help on what Christmas presents to get? We’ve pulled together the gift ideas at Takashimaya’s level 3 that are so good, we’d want them for ourselves.
Gifts to get organised
Not only does this jewellery box keep all your precious accessories organised, but its elegant blush design will also pretty up your vanity table.
Jewellery boxes are so handy to store accessories, neatening up your beauty counter in a jiffy. We especially love how this transparent design lets us locate our stuff at a glance. No need to fumble around. The gold accents add a luxurious touch.
Pretty and feminine prints aside, this 25cm x 18cm flat zip pouch has an external slip-in pocket and a hot pink internal lining that makes it easy to locate items within. The gold foil embellishments add a touch of opulence — we’d be happy to carry this to a dinner date.
Gifts that add colour to life
Fun, laughter and twerks are guaranteed with this Twerk Pong! game where players fight it out to see who can empty their boxes first. Trust us, it’ll make even the most serious of us look erm, silly.
Know someone who always loses his or her mask? These bright and bold mask chains will make it impossible to miss their mask. Plus, we love how they add a mood-lifting effect to any ensemble.
Get into the good habit of money-saving with one of these cute, vintage-looking Coca-Cola money tins. Whether it’s just for display or to store pocket change, it’ll surely make the hearts of Coca-Cola fans skip a beat.
Gifts to pretty up your digits
Give nails a makeover with these pleasing pastel hues that can be easily matched with daily outfits. The best part: Aquajellie nail polishes are made to be peeled off easily so there’s no need for a remover.
Save yourself from the stress of booking a manicure appointment or trying to do your own festive nails. Instead, try these stick-on gel nails that have a high gloss finish, looking as though you’ve just walked out of the nail salon. There’s no glue or dry time involved, so you can get gram-worthy nails in minutes. Perfect for hectic party weeks.
Gifts with healing properties
Crystal bottles are said to not just calm the mind and soul and promote overall wellness, but also enhance the taste of the water — some users find it “tastier” than other kinds of water. Sounds like a great gift idea for urbanites who’re not drinking enough water and living a busy life.
Crystals have been long loved for their healing and energy balancing capabilities. So if you or your giftee needs some positivity, these crystals could help to ward off bad energy and usher in better vibes.
Gifts to calm the mind
Whether you’re working from home or back in the office, you’ll want to keep the Kindness Lotion and Calming Spray near you to stay zen. They’re infused with essential oils that remind you of a spa visit any time, anywhere.
Those who love scents and keeping their living spaces clean will fall in love with this handy set that’s made from essential oil-based ingredients and packed with sustainable materials. It includes a room mist (50ml), yoga mat sanitiser (50ml), ant repellent (250ml) and rinse-free all surface cleanser (250ml) — all of which will make every corner of the house spotless and smell super fresh.
Yoga blocks are gamechangers, your pillars of support when you’re looking to go further with yoga poses. We are eyeing these yoga blocks from local activewear label Yumi Active because they look much more cheery and motivational than the usual single-tone blocks.
Gifts for beach/pool outings
We know how small accessories and belongings like keys and necklaces often go missing in our bags. An easy way to sort that out is to keep them safe in one of these dainty mini straw pouches that you can’t miss, thanks to their colourful and striking designs. We’re getting total beach vibes from these.
The striking, whimsical design of this Bluetooth wireless speaker will please the young and the young at heart. It’s cute and can be easily carried from one place to another, allowing you to play your favourite tunes wherever you go.
Planning for a beach trip or a staycay? You’ll want to pack these floats and accessories; their photogenic designs will ensure that your day off looks as fun and fab as a fashion shoot.
This festive season, show off your mixology skills to your friends and guests no matter where you are, using this cute and handy cocktail set that will make your special creations look extra Insta-worthy. The set includes a shaker, two cocktail umbrellas, two linen coasters, a bottle of cocktail syrup, and a tube of sprinkles.
Switch from single-use bottles to reusable ones, but don’t just settle for any design. This gold insulated bottle with its high shine finish looks so good, it can double up as an accessory to complete your outfit.
Do your part for the environment by ditching takeaway boxes and bringing your own reusables. This collapsible bowl saves storage space, making it easy to slot into your bag and carry it with you when you’re heading out.
Gift to cheer anyone up
Complete your Christmas present with one of these beautifully illustrated cards that feature honest and humorous quotes that will put a smile on your giftee’s face.
