The yearly search begins for the perfect Christmas gift for family and friends! We know it can be tricky to find something for that picky friend of yours, or the kid you know who already has everything. Most of us also have relationships with diverse individuals, all with unique characters, hobbies and needs.
But don’t worry – we’re here to help! Here are some unique ideas to make Christmas this year a memorable and meaningful one:
For Your Significant OtherÂ
- Romantic Picnic Rental by Daily Sparks (From RM150)
The venue options are aplenty for your next romantic date, with this picnic rental gift service helping to light that spark. Have a private date over an early sunrise (or late sunset) with your special someone. And no, you won’t just be getting a simple picnic basket that you can easily throw together yourself! Thematic props are provided to complete the experience (think comfy duvets, fairy lights, Insta-worthy tableware). And the best part? No prep required on your part!
