Culture Mondays: The Gift of Giving

  • By Khoo Yong Hao

Just like that, another year has flown by as December beckons. While you frantically wonder how the past three hundred-odd days eluded you, the most foreboding question lurks within the darkest corners of your mind: what about the Christmas gifts? Gift-giving is part and parcel of the season of joy, but the thought of sieving through gift guides for that perfect gift (even for oneself) can get one’s holiday spirits down. This week, cast your gifting gloom away as we cover all bases with our pick of worthy gifts that are bound to satisfy even the most burdensome.

 

For the Uninitiated

We all know someone who simply cannot be arsed to put on a decent outfit to save his life, so here are some easy-to-pull-off pieces from Pre-Spring’19 to serve as salvation for any get-up.

 

For the Man About Town

The arrival of Christmas means endless parties, and what better way to dress up for the occasion than strapping on one of these polished pieces. Not enough variety, you say? Then have a gander at this week’s upcoming timepieces, featuring a collection that caters to every type of party-goer. 

 

For the Redolent

One may look the part after his month-long commitment to No Shave Movember, but does he smell the part? Fret not, because we have an array of aromatic fragrances lined up: to spritz on when one is out and about, or to make for a sweet-smelling gift.

 

For the Gregarious 

If you do not seek solace in material goods (shocking), then a hearty meal will serve as a sumptuous alternative. Of course, one cannot have a heartwarming Christmas meal without the company of family and friends, so head down to these establishments for a festive feast with loved ones.
