7 Christmas gift ideas for the busy professional - SilverKris

"Founded in 2007 by Frenchwoman Sonia Greig, this whimsically cheerful homewares boutique specializes in a curated mix of European imports (including Sabre and Bruno Evrard) and its own Singapore-themed range created with fifth-generation French mill Tissage-Moutet; the in-house kitchen towels, aprons, placemats and cards depict local motifs such as tropical fruit, black-and-white bungalows and traditional dress like cheongsam, kebaya and sari. It’s a gift-oriented shop offering natural essential-oil candles (scents from fresh-cut gardenia to pink rose and peony blossom) in hand-blown art-glass vessels—highlighted by a Christmas Spice Pomander scented with bitter orange, brandied ginger, cinnamon bark, vanilla and honey—alongside gourmet French food boxes (basil and truffle olive oils, mushroom & truffle cream), a sleek 12-piece stainless-steel cocktail set (shaker, muddler, strainer, double-sided jigger), reindeer-inspired linen napkins and Singapore-themed champagne glasses, plus celebratory glassware finished in gold plate or copper. For sustainability-minded gifters there’s an eco-friendly cappuccino milk frother made from 100% recyclable materials (no plastic) that froths in about 10 seconds, paired with ceramic coffee cups accented with golden angel wings; families can also pick up an Advent calendar with 24 hanging ornaments ranging from gingerbread men to Santa. Guided by a philosophy of blending tradition and modernity to add beauty and warmth to the home, the store is conveniently located at Cluny Court next to Botanic Gardens MRT and also offers an online shop with delivery." - Ink Creative Studios
