Yes, most females are sticklers for sweet stuff and chocolates are an age-old Christmas gift for women. It comes with great packaging and it will still look like how it did when you got it from the store with sufficient care on your part. If your female friend is a chocolate connoisseur and loves her high end chocolates, satisfy her craving with imported premium brands like Leonidas or Neuhaus. Or you could bring a twist to tradition by getting her local gourmetchocolates instead. Choose from Canele, part of the Les Amis group which offers in-house chocolate in special flavours or French style chocolate catered to Asian taste buds at Thos S.B. Raffles, the gourmet store run by Raffles Hotel

On the other hand, If your female friend loves her sugar rush but hates bombing good money on names she cannot even pronounce, you could pop down to Candy Empire at Vivo City for an eclectic mix; from Mars Balls, liqueur chocolates, Wonka bars, Kinder Happy Hippos to gummies. Packaging is ever so important for a gif to a lady so do get a pretty tin box and pop them in for your sweet-toothed darling.

The princess in us females loves to be pampered so which other Christmas gift for women is better than a spa, facial or slimming package. This will help in shedding the extra weight gained from the feasting, rejuvenating oneself after the late night parties and hydrating one’s skin from the excessive drinking. It is not unusual to see spas offering promotional packages during the festive periods so take your time selecting a package that is most value-for-money. This gift may not be advisable for acquaintances as they may misinterpret your actions but most women will love you to bits for such a treat. Be thoughtful and get such gifts in pairs as most women will hate going for such activities alone.

A Christmas gift for women could also be a fashionable tote or clutch bag. Check out the Urban section in the Straits Times or Her World for the season’s hottest ranges. Possible places to get affordable bags that will not have you eating grass are Aldo, Mango, Robinsons or Zara. Do pay attention to what your friend usually wears and get a bag that matches her style. Black is a safe bet or you could get an eccentric colour that screams for attention in any outfit for fearless fun females. Your fashionista friend will not be able to resist a trendy new bag to take with her to her many Christmas parties.

Women love having their pictures taken (no matter how vehemently they may protest against it) and they can never take too little of them. So how else to indulge in such exhibitionistic tendencies than to get them a digital picture frame.
