While the year end signals the customary celebrations with your nearest and dearest, the unfolding pandemic has put a twist on the festivities. Show that you care to those that matter, no matter how far away, with these carefully curated gift boxes for Christmas or New Year’s from some of the best hotels in town.
Hilton Kuala Lumpur
Hilton KL takes into account that many of us will prefer to spend time indoors this year and have prepared lovely gift packages of the heart-warming feasts that can also be enjoyed in-house. Starting from RM180 nett, the Gift Boxes include delectable homemade festive indulgences such as fruit cake, chocolate pralines, and delicious Stollen with other add-on items such as a spa or F&B voucher. We would opt for the Festive Box Platinum (RM380) that includes Hilton’s signature hibiscus jam and a bottle of wine. Christmas dinners can also be brought to the comforts of your own home with a whole five-kilogram, oven-roasted turkey (above) that comes with stuffing and roasted vegetables for RM450.

Our personal favourite are the range of festive eclairs that come with individual flavours and designs in a set.
