Gift Guide 2020: Find The Perfect Christmas Presents For Every Person In Your Life

By now, you would have seen the Christmas lights and the decorated trees going up all along Orchard Road. Your favourite cafes are rolling out their Christmas menus, and your phone is lighting with text messages from friends looking to plan holiday get-togethers this year-end. It’s official: the season of giving is upon us.

This year, what’s even more special is that with more of us spending the holidays at home, we’re going to be seeing a lot of familiar faces. Whether it’s at home with family or in small groups with your friends or co-workers out at a restaurant, you can expect to have more exchanging of gifts happening this year. In those moments, the last thing you want to do is be caught without a gift in hand.

With that in mind, we’ve curated a selection of gift sets for every special person in your life. For the hardworking mums to the beauty-obsessed BFF, here are some of our favourite gifts that promise to make the season extra lovely.
