December is the season of giving and gifting. When buying gifts for others, it’s best not to just pick the first thing you see in a store or online, or choose the most expensive item by a brand. It’s the little things that count and adding a personal touch is always treasured when you receive a gift. And you can do this literally by personalising presents, be it via engraving or embroidery.

Whether it’s your sister, your bestie, your favourite colleague or someone you think deserves a special treat, these gifts will put a smile on their face. 

Sigi Skin

Treat your skincare-obsessed friend to homegrown brand’s Sigi Skin essence mist Dew Potion, overnight mask Dream Capsule and waterless day moisturiser Idylic Fields – that can be customised with his or her name from now till Dec 31 for an extra-special touch.

Guerlain

The French Maison revealed its new retail concept at TANGS at Tang Plaza in November with a first-of-its kind concept in Singapore and Southeast Asia. This new space showcases all three axes that encompasses Guerlain – skincare, makeup and fragrance – and its new merchandising “Bee” concept. It’s more than just a store; it’s an immersive experience that invokes customers’ senses of sight, sound, smell and touch. You’ll also be able to learn more about the brand’s more than 190 years’ heritage.

There are also specialised in-person experiences such as tailored skincare consultation. If you’re looking for a unique scent for someone, you can learn all about the art of mixology and customise a signature scent with Aqua Allegoria. Or pick up a lipstick from the Rouge G collection and get it engraved with a personalised message.

310 Orchard Rd, Tang Plaza; open from 11.30am to 8.30pm

Charlotte Tilbury

As if Charlotte Tilbury’s award-winning Magic Trilogy wasn’t exciting enough, it’s now refillable and recyclable. The three step routine – Charlotte’s Magic Eye Rescue, Charlotte’s Magic Cream and Magic Night Cream – works wonders on your skin, resulting in glowing, smoother and plumper-looking skin. The new skincare refills are sleek, simple capsules that lock easily into the new glass Magic Moisturiser jars so you can do your part for the environment too.

You can now personalise Magic Trilogy glass jars with Magic Engraving. Available at CharlotteTilbury.com.

M.A.C’s Hypnotising Holiday collection is a vibrant way to end 2021. Get a whole new look with limited-edition transfixing colours for eyes, lips and skin, or give your bestie a pick-me-up make-up item to end her year with a bang.

And did we mention that the packaging is oh-so-pretty? Pick up a gift from the brand’s flagship boutique at Takashimaya and get a personalisation service with any lipstick purchase.
