It’s no secret that Christmas gift-shopping can be exceptionally stressful, but finding one for the most important people in your life should be a pleasant experience.

One tried-and-tested tip that we were given years ago: picture the look on your recipient’s face when they open your package. If the image you have in your mind is pure joy, then you know you’ve found the right gift.

But if you’re still unsure what gifts to get for the people who are most important to you, fret not. We’re here to help with this guaranteed-to-please gift list that everyone on your VIP list will love.

Gifts for your mum

Your mum deserves nothing but the best Christmas gifts, so express your love with these ultra-luxe presents.

Not only is this six-piece set a good introduction to the premium Japanese skincare brand for mummy dearest, but we bet she’ll also be delighted to know that she’ll be getting her hands on MT Metatron’s cult anti-ageing essence in full 30ml size.

In case you’re wondering, the MT Essential Serum is lauded globally for its ability to effectively improve the appearance of wrinkles and sagginess while tightening the skin for a V-shaped contour.

Best part? You can easily try out new candle scents as each half-moon candle are available in refills and can easily be switched out as you desire.

For mum, we highly recommend these scent combinations: sage and raspberry to uplift the spirits, or fig and vanilla to whisk her away on a Mediterranean escape.

The award-winning Premium Gold Face Therapy by FIL Skin, Body & Spa Intelligence not only uses a special gold-plated probe to deliver nourishment deep into skin layers, but also offers protection from free radical damage and prevents premature ageing.

In addition, it can help improve skin elasticity with a luxurious mask that’s formulated with a cocktail of gold, pearl, ginseng, vitamin C, pseudo-ginseng root, and alginic acid.

Gifts for yourself

You didn’t think we’d forget about you, did you? Perhaps the most important recipient of them all, go for rewarding presents that you’ll buy now and cherish forever.

Christmas Gifts For Important People In Life Lumive Reclar

Been looking around for a beauty device that’s highly effective yet compact in size? Look no further than the Ion Double-Care Toner Mist by Reclar, a Korean professional beauty device brand that recently launched in Singapore.

As the name suggests, it’s a misting gadget that ranks high in terms of sustainability and hygiene since it allows you to mist your toner onto the face in lieu of cotton pads on your hands.

Apart from the hands-free function, the lightweight device is also built with ionisation technology which aids skin’s absorption of your toner and subsequent skincare products.

You’ll also like that it delivers only consistent, ultra-fine mist to tone, hydrate, and soothe your skin thanks to its patented fine-spray technology. That means it can also double as a facial mist that you can spritz liberally every three to four hours of the day to refresh and quench parched skin.

Best part? There’s no need to worry about the ultra-fine mist messing up your makeup look! Plus, it also allows for a smoother makeup application when used as a toning mist in your daily skincare routine.

Additionally, the fuss-free gizmo requires little maintenance as it utilises UV technology to sanitise the toner cartridge once the solution within has run out.

Use it with any of the three toner solutions from Reclar based on your skin concerns – you can choose from 6 Peptide Solution which helps strengthen skin barrier, Cica Solution for skin-soothing benefits, and Brightening Solution which addresses dullness and uneven skin tone.

Alternatively, pair it with the Reclar Camellia Soothing Essence, a pure camellia water-based toner that’s exclusive to the misting device if you’d like a highly moisturising formula that can soothe dry skin and offer antioxidant effects.

Reclar Ion Double-Care Toner Mist now retails for S$70 (U.P S$92) online, and comes with one free bottle of Camellia Soothing Essence.
