You know the person – you try and dig for clues to get an idea of what they might like, want or need for the holiday season and you come away with nothing. Finding the perfect gift for difficult-to-shop-for relatives and friends requires a bit of thinking-outside-the-box creativity. It would be best to avoid expensive jewellery or extravagant electronics and aim for something special and unorthodox so they would marvel at the novelty of your gift. So what should you get someone like that? Here’s our foolproof list for the special, nitpicky yet nonplussed person in your life.
For the person who likes personalised things:
Obviously, get them personalised gifts! But drop those tacky personalised tees or keychains and go the classy route instead. We love these name necklaces from Crimson and Clover! They’re quietly chic and timeless – making it the perfect gift for people who get fickle about their jewellrey.
For the one with the pretty kitchen:
Every time you’re over, all you can do is marvel at every little gadget in their cooking space and how they all look so perfect together. This vintage toaster will make the perfect gift because everyone needs a toaster and this olive green is so trendy and classy.
For the baker:
This is the perfect gift for the person that loads you up with yummy baked goods and delicious treats! Surprisingly compact, this hand and stand mixer combines fantastic results with no mess to create the perfect bake.
For the romantic:
They love the scenes in Beauty and the Beast with the everlasting roses but maybe have never explicitly talked about wanting them, maybe for fear of coming across too cheesy. But we reckon these roses are the perfect gifts and plus, they’re low maintenance and last for like ever!
For the health nut:
We all have that one friend who loves to meal prep and eat healthy so there’s no better gift than the gift of consistency! Power Up does some really great bundles of fresh food and vegetables that can be delivered straight to their doorstep, hassle free!
For the Skincare Buff:
What do you get someone who loves their skincare? Definitely not anything that may disrupt their skincare regime but we think this scrub is the perfect gift because you can use it to exfoliate your body. The peppermint scent is really just the cherry on top too.
For the Tea Fiend:
This gift is perfect for the friend who always grabs a cup of bubble tea after their meals and complain about how much money and sugar one cup is. This Presso Heat Proof Brewing Cup is a charming and classy tumbler with quite a bit of cleverness inbuilt into its design. With a filter that doubles, no, triples as a french press and a double-wall insulation, you get a practical and beautiful glass for your tea, or other beverage.
For the Nostalgic:
The perfect gift for the one wistful for old time Singapore! Cute and functional – we love to see it.
Get your gifts all settled this year with hoolah’s buy now and pay later solution! A stress-free and enjoyable holiday season awaits.
For the Trendy Homeowner:
Something that someone probably wouldn’t buy for themselves will be these specialty trendy rugs. Perhaps you have a friend who just moved into their new home or maybe a friend who always laments about how they need to redecorate their space. This gift is perfect either way!
