Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! That’s right folks, it’s that time of the month where you’ll have to get cracking on the best gift ideas for your loved ones. While it may sound like a fun shopping spree, it may also be a major headache if you’re trying to sort out your Christmas gift list at the very last-minute (Which we’ve all been guilty of before, let’s be honest).

Have you and your loved ones been on Santa’s naughty or nice list this year? Here are some quick Christmas gift exchange ideas for the serial last-minute gift-givers:

Scented Candles

Have you ever felt a pang of nostalgia during festive seasons? Christmas is all about family and togetherness – and nothing radiates nostalgic feelings more than reuniting with your loved ones. And Lilin + Co has whipped up some saccharine scents that will surely hit you hard in the feels – they’ve got scented candles that smell like Butter Cookies, Mulled Wine and even Grandma’s Closet! You can shop for these Christmas miracles from their stockist, RE:HEALTH. 

Potted Plants and Flowers 

Lush, leafy greens and vibrant floral bouquets make wonderful Christmas presents, especially if the receiver has green thumbs or is an avid plant enthusiast. If potted plants and floral arrangements are your go-to last-minute choice, then waltz into Pasu or A&D for some quick botanical fix! 

Collectible Toys and Cool Trinkets

Who says toys are child’s play? Toys are timeless! Guys and girls of all ages can collect toys, be it LEGO sets, figurines, collectable toy cars – take your pick! Pro tip: It’s best to get into Sherlock Holmes mode and find out what your gift receiver likes before making a purchase, as you may get overwhelmed with choices. Be sure to stop by at Carousel – they’ve got cool trinkets and toys on their shelves that would make perfect gifts for people of all ages!

Essential Oils

EOs are all the rage right now! Not only do they make your room smell delightful, they also possess calming properties that may be beneficial for your wellness. Eartheories has a collection of EOs that you should definitely check out, with assorted scents ranging musky scents to floral and fruity scents. We all know the end of the year can be stressful at work, with deadlines to clear before the new year – and essential oils may just do the trick in soothing their moods. 

Chocolates

If nothing strikes your fancy during your Christmas gift-hunting, try heading to Willy Wonka’s preferred isle. Nothing screams “ho ho ho" like a big box of chocolates. Pop in at Leonidas for their array of flavourful Belgian chocolates, they’d make great gifts and would be an absolute hit with sweet tooths! 

Health & Wellness Supplements and Natural Cosmeceutical Products

Choo-choo! Hop aboard with the wellness train and head over to the wellness section for your Christmas gift! Gifting nutritional supplements or au natural health-related products are often viewed as a symbolic gesture of wishing the other person longevity and good health. You can easily find your targets at COCOLAB or GNC Live Well.
