If your new year's resolution is to get in shape or be more physically active, take the sportswear options on Takashimaya's level 3 as a sign to act.

Check out the gorgeous pieces by Calvin Klein Performance, Lorna Jane Activewear and homegrown label Yumi Active which boasts Singapore-inspired prints (think Vanda Miss Joaquim) that are artfully incorporated into their designs, so you'll be proud to wear them and #supportlocal anytime.

Whichever piece you choose, you can be sure that the designs combine style, comfort and function to help you look good and feel good while you're sweating buckets on the treadmill or spin bike.

#2: The beachwear and swimwear are a godsend for last-minute staycays and beach trips

If you or your giftee is someone who loves the sun, sand and sea more than anything, then the best gift to get — besides an SPF 50 sunscreen — is swimwear or beachwear.

Hop over to JETS Australia, Seafolly, Gottex, Aimer and Simone Pérèle on level 3; their assortment of striking prints, body-flattering shapes and head-turning pieces will grab your attention, making them worthy of packing into our bags for the next staycay or beach vacay (whenever that may be).

#3: The wide variety of accessories will complete our beach outfits

This festive season, why not make a child smile by getting a gift for him or her? You can do that while you're shopping at Takashimaya Department Store. The retailer is calling for gift donations for over 500 underprivileged beneficiaries from The Business Times Budding Artists Fund.

At level 1's main stage, you'll find The Giving Tree which is filled with paper stars; each star indicates a child's age and gender. Pick one of these stars and buy a suitable present for him or her. Then, stick the star on your present and drop it off at the same place by December 20, 2021.

Your gift will make the child's Christmas extra special.

You'll also want to mark the following dates in your calendar, to enjoy exclusive discounts at Takashimaya.
Takashimaya Special: December 7 to 10
From December 7 to 10, enjoy 10% discount in-store (for Takashimaya Cardholders only) and 10% off at Takashimaya's online store (for all shoppers).
