29 Fun And Fashionable Christmas Gift Ideas

Need shopping recommendations for the best presents to give this festive season? FEMALE, in collaboration with Takashimaya Shopping Centre, has got you covered.

by Gordon Ng  /   November 27, 2020

These are a few of our favourite things.

Gift giving doesn’t need to be difficult. What really makes the experience easier, though, is a place with a whole spectrum of brands and products that will cover all the kinds of gifts and the people you need to get them for.

With its expansive range of stores (after all, which other mall has a boutique dedicated to Parisian boho chic, for example?), Takashimaya Shopping Centre is exactly that sort of destination. Whether it’s an ultra plush designer item for a loved one (designer sleepwear, anybody?) or a little end-of-year token of appreciation for a colleague, you’re sure to find everything you need to avoid a shopping crunch in December. 

We’ve put together a selection of ideal gifts for all the people in your life – with an eye, of course, for the fun and the fashionable.
