Christmas Gifts in Singapore 2023 Guide: Gifts for Women

Is your mama friend struggling to get her beauty sleep at night? While you can’t stop the kids from waking up, you could buy her this beauty sleep bundle that includes a slip silk pillowcase, an eye mask and silk scrunchies. This lab-tested slip silk pillowcase absorbs significantly less face cream than cotton ones, so it will help preserve skin moisture, reduce pressure on creased skin and reduce hair tangling during the night. And who wouldn’t want the Christmas gift of frizz-free hair in this humid climate?
4. Practical Christmas Gift: Stanley Mug & Tumbler


The sweltering heat in Singapore always has us craving a long sip of water or iced coffee! This bestselling Stanley Quencher is made of stainless steel and promises to keep your drink cold for 20 hours (just in case you have to run off to pick up the kids!) and hot for four hours. It’s cup-holder compatible, so you can bring your coffee along for school drop-offs and pick-ups. This Christmas gift is super practical and stylish to boot.
5. Sephora Beauty Gift Sets/Cards


It doesn’t matter if your intended recipient ‘isn’t really a makeup person’, we find that these days, anybody can appreciate a little something from Sephora! The festive Christmas gift sets are absolutely irresistible, not just for their stunning packaging (perfect for gifting) but for their great value too. Some Christmas gift sets include full-sized products for a fraction of the price. And if you’re not sure what to get, we’re sure a Sephora gift card will be happily received!
6. Kid-free Getaway: Christmas Gift for Jetsetters


Sometimes, we just need a break from the daily grind! Whether you are looking to gift a partner or a busy go-getter bestie, a staycation is always a welcome Christmas gift. Book a night or two at Amara’s Sanctuary Resort Sentosa for a villa staycation with ‘Bali’ feels (be sure to forward them our Guide to Sentosa too!) or a tropical staycation at Capella Singapore that boasts three pools, perfect for those who love to relax in the water.

This one is for adventure-seekers who are always planning their next vacation! Gift that special someone American Tourister’s lightest expandable suitcase collection, specially designed to make travel experiences effortless. These suitcases only weigh an astounding 2.3kg and are incredibly durable, thanks to their resistant polypropylene material. We love their sleek, minimalist design, generous expandability (perfect for avid shoppers!) and super smooth-rolling wheels. You can pick up the Aerostep Bundle Set for just $269.

It’s ultra-compact and comes with a convenient external card compartment so you can easily access payment and travel cards. Feel like carrying it cross body? Simply attach the cross straps to transform your tote.
8. Thoughtful Christmas Gift: Jewellery


Jewellery is always a great Christmas gift, especially for those who love the bling-bling! For something really fancy, check out the infamous SK Jewellery, where you’ll find rings, gold bangles, pendants and more. Shop online at Monica Vinader if you’re looking for simple but elegant pieces like a fine-beaded chain bracelet or a snake chain necklace. And if you’re on a tight budget, pop by Lovisa for jewellery under $50! Why not get something personalised or engraved for extra points?
9. Family Photography: Christmas Gift of Memories


When it comes to gorgeous family photos, mamas are rarely in front of the camera – we’re often the ones taking all the nice photos! So why not give the gift of a photography session with some of Singapore’s top photography studios? In addition to some seriously gorgeous family photos, mama can treat herself to a great new headshot for their LinkedIn profile or resume if they’re heading back to work.
10. Cute Ceramics & Tableware


Oh, aren’t we all just obsessed with beautiful tablescapes these days? We’ve spotted some beautiful (and budget-friendly!) gift-worthy tablecloths and napkins from Dilip Textiles, and if you’re really looking to treat someone, shop for beautiful vases and other homeware at Bowerbird Ceramics, which features hand-painted pieces that would make a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves functional home decor.
11. Christmas Gift for Health Conscious: Juicer


This one’s for all the healthy ladies out there who love sipping on a cup of freshly squeezed juice! The Kuvings Ravenous Romeo Slow Juicer (pictured above, $599) not only extracts the juice but all of the yummy nutrients with it. Though it’s pricey as a Christmas gift, it’s certainly worth it for someone who plans to drink juice daily. For a more budget-friendly Christmas present, check out Tefal’s Juice Extractor ($70.50) or Breville’s Juicer ($298), though these more affordable counterparts won’t be able to extract the much-needed nutrients. A word of warning — this Christmas gift idea is only for someone who you know wants this practical present and is hesitant to buy it themself (perhaps due to the price tag).
12. Polaroid Camera: Retro Christmas Gift


For the mama who loves making memories (but isn’t always the best at showing off those memories by printing them), this ultra-cute Polaroid camera ($254.28) comes with five len filters to capture every mood and can even connect to an app on your phone so you can adjust aperture, exposure and more. It even has a self-timer so you can set this polaroid on a tripod and join in the photo too! We would love receiving this Christmas present ourselves so here’s hoping it’s well received!
13. Celebratory Gift: 1664 Prestige Gift Box
There’s nothing like kicking back on the couch after a long day with the kids and popping open a bottle of something cold and refreshing. 1664 Prestige is an elegant wheat beer with a champagne twist, that’s brilliantly bubbly, audaciously French and fab for any festive celebratory moment. Brewed with champagne yeast from France, 1664 Prestige boasts a medium-dry and fresh palate featuring delicate bubbles reminiscent of champagne. Its notes of citrus, white peach, and a hint of spice create a playful yet elegant flavour profile—a cheeky take on champagne and a refined twist on traditional beer. It is presented in a sleek silhouette with a popping cork, reminiscent of the classic champagne bottle. The 1664 Prestige Gift Box is foiled with gold and brings sparkling joy to every celebration. This is a limited release holiday special from $49.90, so be sure to order yours before the Christmas holiday season is over!
