Visit PUNK CANDY at Orchard Central #B1-K5.

For functional, timeless & value-for-money apparel: UNIQLO
This Japanese clothing retailer surely needs no further introduction, well-known for their high-quality and pocket-friendly apparel! At the Orchard Central outlet, the brand’s Global Flagship store and also the biggest store in Singapore and the Southeast Asian region, spanning across three levels, one can find anything one might need for their wardrobe. In addition, UNIQLO @ Orchard Central offers embroidery customization for select items all year round!

For fashion-forward shoes, bags and other accessories: CHARLES & KEITH   
Homegrown fast-fashion house CHARLES & KEITH, which had its humble beginning 26 years ago, has grown into a globally recognised brand, with endorsements by celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Rita Ora, Kelly Rowland and Ki Eun-Se. It can be easy to be overwhelmed by the wide selection of on-trend, designer-quality shoes and bags but since mini bags are all the rage right now, we’ve managed to zero in on 2 super cute bags that are absolute show-stoppers. The Gabine Tweed Chain-Link Cardholder ($39.90) features a compact boxy silhouette with a gorgeous gold oversized buckle. It is available in 6 different colours, although the navy faux leather is juxtaposed beautifully with a stand-out tweed finish. Style it how you like; strapped over your shoulder with the detachable curb chain or poised delicately in the crook of your arm. The Snap Button Mini Short Wallet ($49.90) comes in 5 different colours, but our top pick is hands-down the white as the pristine edge detailing frames the intricate straw woven detail, making this stylish and functional accessory really pop, and a great compliment to any ensemble, whether for work or play. Visit CHARLES & KEITH at Clarke Quay Central #01-51.


For a one-stop lifestyle shop of high-quality, made-in-Japan goods: HANDS  
Formerly known as Tokyu Hands, this one-stop lifestyle store carries all kinds of items, from functional, high-quality livingware, travel goods, beauty and personal care products to Japanese stationery and art supplies. Shopping for someone who enjoys ice-cold beverages? The Hands Original Cold Beer Tumbler 460ml  ($46.90) is the perfect gift, and comes in 2 colours: Silver or Navy! Alternatively, give the gift of self-care with a Body Brush made with Hinoki Wood and Horse Hair ($49.40). Horse Hair is renowned for its softness, durability and gentle cleaning and scrubbing properties, perfect for a relaxing and exfoliating back scrub! Visit HANDS at Orchard Central #B1-07.

For the Gen-Zs in your life: FILA FUSION
FILA is riding on the revival of the 90's retro style that is so hot right now, putting them back on the list of must-have-brands. But what made this Italian brand's comeback even more striking is the birth of its sub-brand FILA FUSION.

Weaving vintage elements with what's on-trend and bringing streetwear to a whole new level, it is undoubtedly one of the hottest brands amongst youths these days. With its inaugural outlet at Orchard Central, FILA FUSION has released its first collaborative series with Italian high fashion brand N°21 for this fall/winter season, featuring preppy tartan prints worthy of the hashtag #hypebeast. Visit FILA FUSION at Orchard Central #01-05.

For someone with fur-kids: PET LOVERS CENTRE 
Fur-parents love to spoil their fur-kids and give them nothing but the best! Give them some snuggly comfort with the adorable tiered Chenile Donut Bed in blue ($92.30). The luxuriously soft chenille fabric envelops plush memory-spring poly fiberfill, offering their furry companion maximum support, allowing for plenty of headrest spaces as well as nestles to burrow into. The durable upholstery grade fabric provides great nuzzling comfort, making it the perfect spot for pure relaxation. 

Is your friend a feline lover instead? The Trustie 2 Tier Cat House ($95.90), with its double-tier design, features a comfortable platform for cat naps whilst the cosy cubed den with two entrances and sisal scratching mats presents the perfect opportunity to climb, jump, play, and scratch. Bonus: it is also easy to clean! Visit PET LOVERS CENTRE at HillV2 #02-16, Junction 10 #01-01, West Coast Plaza #02-09.

Hats, belts, socks, t-shirts, bags, footwear and pants, they have got it all!

For the hosts with the most: IHAAN DECO   
If there is one thing true about those who love to throw parties, it is that they love to make an impression! So what can you give to those who love to host and entertain? Tableware and glassware from IHAAN DECO’s gorgeous curated collection that are sure to draw compliments from guests.

Visit IHAAN DECO at Square 2 #03-111.

For an oenophile: WINE CONNECTION
When in doubt, wine is the answer, and where better to go than Wine Connection, the leading chain of wine shops in Singapore and Southeast Asia. 

Wine is the symbolic gift of happiness. When we think about wine, we recall leisurely dinners with loved ones and toasts to commemorate milestones and mark occasions. To give wine is to send a clear message to the recipient that you know they appreciate the fine things in life and that time spent with them is always full of fun and cheer. It is also the least boring present ever because there are hundreds and thousands of wines to choose from based on the grape varietals, producer cellar, origin, and even vintage.

Truly nothing says “party” quite as loudly as a bottle of Champagne. The ERNEST RAPENEAU "Grande Reserve Brut" (U.P. $65, now at only $49.90) is a very elegant bubbly, thanks to the successful and expert blending of Chardonnay and Pinot grapes. With an intense straw colour, fine bubbles and persistent mousse, it presents on the palate floral notes with fresh lime and exotic fruits and is frank with hints of warm biscuit and heady aromas of nuts.

Invited for a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings? This Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from Château Viramon (U.P. $54, now at only $39.90) will not disappoint! It presents a bouquet of cherry aromas with roasted hazelnuts that highlight a rich and fleshy mouth. Supple and round on the attack, it is well-balanced and well-structured, and is a delicious pairing with the richness of Christmas meats. Visit WINE CONNECTION at Greenwich V #01-21, West Coast Plaza #B1-25.

For a personal touch (up): PERFUMES & COSMETICS GALLERY   
Perfumes are gifts that we typically reserve for the very special people in our lives, with whom we have intimate relationships. Scents are very powerful triggers to evoke memories and create indelible impressions. Perhaps a certain fragrance reminds you of your loved ones or marks a special moment you shared, and you want to share this significance with them by letting them wear it on their skin. Whatever your intentions, perfumes are an incredibly versatile gift. Browse over a hundred perfume labels for both men and women at this no-frills store! Visit PERFUMES & COSMETICS GALLERY at Square 2 #02-23.
