When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with chocolates, cookies, and champagne. Singapore’s own chocolate kween, Janice Wong, has just the right Christmas hamper for you. And the best part is, her packaging always scores major aesthetic points – so there’s no need to hunt for an additional gift wrapper.
The Bubbly Christmas Hamper ($100) is self-explanatory – it comes with a tin of assorted cookies, a mini bottle of champagne, and a box of 5 Christmas bon bons. If you don’t want to buy a whole hamper, the chocolates are also available for purchase individually, starting from $25 for a box of 5. Just make sure to pre-order them at least 24 hours in advance.

Yeah, we know it can be intimidating to buy presents for your super atas friends who love to wine and dine. Boozy Sunday brunches at Brasserie Les Saveurs, trips to Bordeaux – you name it, there’s nothing their wallets can’t handle.
To show your thoughtfulness, gift them a Cheese & Wine Gift Basket ($150) from Da Paolo Gastronomia. It’s a literal basket filled to the brim with pecans, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Da Paolo Fig Compote, breadsticks, and some good ol’ prosecco. Hey, maybe you can jio them for a nice picnic at the Singapore Botanic Gardens this festive szn so you too, can indulge in the cheesy goodness.

There are 2 types of people in the world – those who live to eat, and those who just eat to survive. As long as they eat 2 or 3 times a day, can already.
For the latter camp, Christmas hampers filled with chocolates, snacks, and cheese may not be the best option. Don’t worry, we’ve kept that in mind while writing this list. Nutty & Nourishing Shea Essentials Gift ($45) is a safe bet for your friends who prefer splurging on wellness and #selfcare.
It has a travel-size shea shower cream, shea soap, shea body butter, shea hand balm, and small ramie lily – all beautifully packed in a box and will make perfect gifts.

We all have that one friend who spends so much on $6 coffee that they cannot save up for BTO. Aiya, the least you can do for them this Christmas is to enable their bougie coffee habits by getting this Coffee Moment Hamper ($97) from Bacha Coffee.
Here are the items included in the set: a box of Sweet Mexico, fine-flavoured coffee bags, 6 pieces of candy sticks, and a Bacha Heritage Coffee Mug and Lid they can use at home to feel fancier.

It can be hard to shop for gluten-free friends, especially when gluten – a protein found in wheat – is a common ingredient found in many things from bread to sauces. Here’s a tip: head to Australian bakery and cafe The Whole Kitchen, because they’ve got a slew of gluten-free Christmas hampers like The Gift Of Goodness ($149).
It’s stuffed with a myriad of gluten-free snacks such as rock salt rosemary nut mix, peppermint cacao vegan cookies, almond rosemary shortbread, pecan spiced granola, and gingerbread stars. All hampers come with a lil canvas tote bag and are packed in a cute woven basket.
