If you’re out of ideas on what to get for someone, here are 13 popular gifts in Singapore that anyone would appreciate regardless of price.

Giftano Flowers boasts a collection of floral products and arrangements that will fit any occasion whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary or because you just feel like spreading some happiness.
No idea what to get the new parents or parents-to-be to welcome their newborn into the world? It’s easier to gift them a Mothercare Gift Card (From $50) so that they can choose what to get on their own instead!
Mothercare is the best retail shop if you’re looking for all things babies. Featuring an entire range of children’s furniture, accessories, apparel and strollers, there’s always something for the baby and mother.

They say the best way to a person’s heart is through their stomach. Treat someone who loves to eat to a 3-Course Gourmet Set Lunch ($56.50) at Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse. A 3-course meal at that price is an absolute steal and is sure to satisfy any foodie’s cravings!
As one of Singapore’s most popular Italian steak restaurant, Bistecca provides only the best quality steaks with high marble score. Seared over a wood-fired grill, the steaks’ taste, tenderness and texture are perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Movie theatres are open again in Singapore, and it’s time to catch up on all the blockbuster movies! Treat a movie buff to watch a movie in style at the Cathay Cineplexes Platinum Suites ($35).
Say goodbye to stiff necks with Cathay’s luxurious leather seats which come with a motorised backrest to recline and even a footrest. Each seat also comes with a blanket to help combat the inevitable cold of the theatre. If you know someone who misses watching movies on the big screen while retaining the comfort of their own home, this is the perfect gift for them.
Team up with a problem solver (or a puzzle noob) to put your skills to the test with the Virtual Room Experience ($49). By combining the concept of an escape room and the Virtual Reality (VR) experience, Virtual Room Singapore aims to deliver a unique and immersive adventure for family or friends of all ages.
While each player is allocated their own room, everyone would need to communicate with each other, walk around and throw objects to solve the puzzles and challenges. Virtual Room Singapore currently has 3 different games for players to choose from, but for first-timers, we recommend Time Travel Chapter 1.
It’s time for a sneakerhead to expand their collection, and you can help them do so with the Foot Locker Gift Card (From $20)! Anyone would be spoiled for choice when choosing from an extensive range of brands like Nike, Adidas, Vans, Puma and Converse.

It can be said that cafe-hopping is on the list of the top 10 favourite pastimes for any Singaporean. With the insurgence of cafes in Singapore over the years, there are plenty of cafes to choose from. But PS. Cafe has long since been a crowd favourite, and what better way to surprise a cafe-hopper than with a PS. Cafe Gift Voucher (From $20)?
Incorporating the cosiness of a cafe with a more modern twist, PS. Cafe provides guests with an Instagram-worthy environment and even better food. Perfect for someone looking to explore a new cafe, or visiting as a regular!

The perfumes are made by hand using sustainably sourced ingredients and they’re also cruelty-free. Now anyone can enjoy smelling at their best with no regrets!
Let someone live their Marvel fantasies with an Individual Axe-Throwing Session ($30) at Axe Factor: Indoor Axe-Throwing Range. While it’s not exactly the same as throwing Thor’s axe, Stormbreaker, it’s still a one-of-kind activity that will surely be an unforgettable memory among family and friends.
Axe-throwing is an extreme sport that is also the perfect activity to destress and vent all the frustration away. There are ‘Axe-perts’ to help get newbies familiarised with the throwing techniques as well as to ensure that the safety protocols are being followed. Have an exhilarating time with each other while being fueled by an adrenaline rush!
A trip to the barbers need not be boring. For the precious men in your life, treat them to a Sultan’s Haircut ($68) at the Sultans of Shave. Men need a little bit of pampering too, don’t let them tell you any different!
The Sultan’s Haircut is a process that includes consultation with their experienced and professional barbers, the haircut, a massage and a wash & finish. Allow them a much needed ‘me’-time as they pamper themselves in a relaxed setting.
Do you know someone who loves wine and likes to believe that they know everything about it? Put their tastebuds to the test with either the Red Wine Blind Tasting Box ($58) or the White Wine Blind Tasting Box ($58) from Nox. Or you could get both for the ultimate test!
