What's the best gift for Christmas? 4 inspiring women reflect on unforgettable gifts

As the festive season approaches, the air is filled with the promise of warmth, joy, and the anticipation of gift-giving. In the spirit of celebrating the true essence of Christmas, we ask some of our Her World Tribe members about the most priceless gifts that they cherish.

Our focus is on a different kind of luxury – the kind that transcends material worth and echoes the sentiments that make the holiday season truly magical.

Beyond the glittering ornaments and opulent presents, these women share personal stories of gifts that transcend material value.

Sabrina Ho, founder of career platform Half The Sky

“To me, the holiday season is all about the simple but most precious things: spending quality time with my 18-month-old daughter, seeing her eyes light up with excitement when we decorate the Christmas tree, getting the biggest hug and many kisses from her when she sees her gifts, and creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime with dear friends and family. It’s the perfect mix of both that warms my heart during this season.”

Rebecca Eu, founder of social enterprise Mei’s Own and Rinn

“The most precious gift I’ve ever received is the most expensive yet costs the least: time. I’m reminded that my time is actually all they really want from me. It’s truly a scarce commodity that I’m still learning to spend wisely. During the season of giving, I’m so grateful for the time I’m given, and the time I look forward to giving.”

Yvon Bock, founder & CEO of motherhood and infant care brands Hegen & HLC

“In my heart, it’s the treasure that never loses its lustre – the love and gratitude within the meaningful connections and golden moments I share with my loved ones. Let’s devote our time, energy, and unwavering attention to those who hold a special place in our hearts this holiday season. Let love and gratitude illuminate every moment spent together!”

Charlotte Mei, nutritionist and founder of TheCharlotteMei

“There’s a certain magic in thoughtful gestures that surpasses material gifts for me. I’ve always cherished those moments when someone has taken the time to create something personal. A handmade card, a jar of homemade granola, or a small, thoughtful token that shows they’ve invested their time and effort to bring joy. It’s these gestures that I find truly embody the sentiment behind a gift, which is immeasurable.”
