In the warmth of twinkling lights, loved ones gather to celebrate the tradition of exchanging gifts and togetherness. That said, here are eight spectacular Christmas gift ideas to unwrap the magic of the season.
Tiffany & Co. Holiday Lookbook
You can’t go wrong with gifting jewellery. Luminous metals, radiant diamonds and glittering coloured gemstones were imagined by Tiffany & Co. designers and crafted by the hands of its artisans to present the most extraordinary of gifts. The holiday lookbook sees everything from Tiffany Knot bangles to Tiffany Lock pendants that are sure to be treasured long past the holidays. Spotted in Tiffany & Co.’s 2023 holiday campaign, House Ambassador Rosie Huntington-Whiteley features one of the biggest highlights—the iconic Bird on A Rock pendant that celebrates the symbol of joy, optimism and wonder.
Penfolds Special Edition Wines
Australia’s most iconic wine brand, Penfolds, released its first ‘Venture Beyond’ global brand thematic in 2022 after a successful venture into outer space. This year, Penfolds is delving into the world of deep-sea exploration with the launch of its second global thematic, ‘Venture Beyond 2023’. This launch features a special edition packaging for its range of Penfolds Max collection, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2021 and Bin 28 Shiraz 2021. Themes of oceanic discovery and marine artwork are printed on this special edition packaging designed by Melbourne-based interdisciplinary digital artist, Mikaela Stafford.
Piaget X Yukiko Noritake Watch
Artist Yukiko Noritake once again joins hands with Maison Piaget. Following a successful partnership in the summer, Noritake is breathing life into a new campaign once more. The Japanese artist shapes the image of Piaget in full festive swing, from the snow-covered valleys of La Côte-Aux-Fées to the glittering nights of New York and Paris. The illustrations showcase Piaget’s featured pieces this festive season, such as the Piaget Polo watch which boasts a distinctive elegance through its cushion-shaped dial combined with a round case and hand-assembled links.
TUMI Bags
The TUMI 19 Degree Aluminium collection ticks all the boxes of TUMI’s performance luxury with its superior quality, design excellence, technical innovation and functional efficiency. This time around, the highly coveted collection extends beyond travel into everyday life, with the introduction of its first 19 Degree Aluminium backpack and 19 Degree Aluminium Minaudiere, a chic clutch perfect for festive night outs and special occasions. Available in stylish silver, sleek matte black and texture blush, these bags exude an understated elegance that is also ideal for casual styling alike.
KENS Apothecary Advent Calendar
KENS Apothecary is collaborating with Else Hotel for its first beauty takeover this holiday season. A special KENS Apothecary menu is curated by Else Hotel for guests to savour with loved ones. The focal point of the takeover, however, is the KENS Apothecary Advent Calendar. Decked in KENS Apothecary goodies, the hotel lobby features a collection of items found in the KENS Apothecary 2023 Advent Calendar, which comprises 12 must-have scents, along with hair and skin care products, all in mini-sizes. The advent calendar is now available for RM529 (valued at RM1,500).
Ralph Lauren Holiday 2023 Collection
Ralph Lauren elicits rugged romanticism and modern glamour in this Holiday 2023 Collection that celebrates the personal style of women who dare to be themselves. From classic chalk stripes and glen plaids to fleece and silvery denim, the collection is combined with tweeds and metallic florals in unexpected ways. Evening gowns in silk georgettes and sharp black looks grace the holiday collection. In a bold twist, denim gowns are dyed and washed to appear like velvet, where eveningwear is reimagined in a blend of sophistication and comfort to showcase Ralph Lauren’s inherent knack for casual luxury.
Versace Athena Bag
Originating from a 1991 runway collection, the Barocco print of Versace quickly became one of the most identifiable signatures of the brand. This festive season, Versace is showcasing the Barocco in a different light with the infusion of new soft tone-on-tone colours. The highlight of the holiday campaign sees the new Athena tote bags capture the expression of the festive season through its contemporary and chic appeal as a functional daywear style. The Athena can be found in extra-large to small sizes with top handles and detachable shoulder straps.
Diptyque Holiday Fragrances and Candles
This holiday season, Diptyque invites everyone to experience the magic of the flame in an entirely new way. The central motif of this year’s holiday collection is the flame itself, beautifully expressed through calligrams featuring a poetic definition from the 1751 Encyclopaedia of the Enlightenment. Drenched in extravagant swirls, this collection offers a wide array of scented and decorative objects perfect for festive gifting such as Murano glass home fragrance diffusers, personal fragrances like L’Eau Papier eau de toilette in limited edition packaging, and limited-edition classic candles. The vessels of these candles are adorned with coloured, black and golden flames, each evoking the essence of the holiday season. The collection is now available online, at Diptyque boutiques, and KENS Apothecary stores.
