For my feisty fashionista who isn't limited by trends, I'd splurge on this fun, furry number from Fendi that is just oh-so-chic (plus it has Kaiser Karl on it and that's a huge plus in my book)! But to be more practical, I'd probably get a whimsical mermaid clutch from Shrimps that adds a special touch to any outfit.

It's super odd to use the word sex and mother together for me, but there is something sensual about my mother who looks ever better with age. She lives life to the fullest, smiles and laughs at dramas and always believes that things have a way to sort itself out. Being a Scorpio, she is wildly protective of her family, friends and personal life. But outwardly, she dresses to shine bright like a diamond. Perenakan by birth, she loves bling and gold-I blame the nonya heritage. So, if money was no object I would say the full Serpenti rose gold and diamond bracelet which will add more glamorous sting to her Scorpio bite. The reality is that this editor can't afford something quite so lavish, so she will just have to make do with fun jewels from Swarovski that she can layer, stack and basically wear like a tribal Straits Chinese queen in full kebaya flight.

From obscure indie hits to Taylor Swift's latest chart-topping single, she is a music junkie who listens to anything and everything under the sun—as long as the tune gets her on her feet and dancing like there's no tomorrow. Going by her books, good music is universal and should be something that bring people joy. After all, who has time for genres and labels? Dolce & Gabbana's embellished earphones with fox fur is perfect for someone who marches to her own beat. For something less outre, Bang & Olufsen's H7 leather wireless headphones are a masterpiece. Besides delivering great sound, it cancels noise—excellent for flights! A simple pouch keeps all her music essentials organised and within easy reach.

What to get that friend who has everything she could possibly need? Just think back to basics without compromising on glamour. There's the opulent Christian Louboutin lipstick that's rich in oils and seed butters to ensure lips are moisturised. If she's a fan of Taylor Swift, look no further than the matte red Ruby Woo lipstick from MAC, a cult classic that's a personal favourite of TayTay. LOVE!

Running errands around town, zipping off to private parties after long days at the office, sweating it out in the gym on weekends... She's always on the go and her sartorial choices reflect her diverse lifestyle to a T. Match her urban attitude with a sharp jacket that won't just keep her warm but earn her major street cred and amp up any casual ensemble. Opt for an army green cropped bomber jacket by 3.1 Phillip Lim, or take style notes from fabulous #fitspos, Maria Sharapova and Adrienne Ho and bag one of Nike's new Aeroloft Tech Fleece jackets.

What do you get a woman who runs the house and keeps it spick and span? For a real treat, the graphic Hermès Balcon du Guadalquivir porcelain sets are perfect for those fancy dinners at home, but let's be honest, sometimes an offbeat teapot is what really matters.

From rugby to football, motor to extreme sports, this is a guy who knows the latest news and the hottest rumours any sports field has to offer. So is it any surprise that a timepiece by Audemars Piguet ranks high on his ultimate wishlist? Since it's release the Royal Oak Concept Laptimer Michael Schumacher has captured his imagination with its bold looks and accolade for being the world's first luxury mechanical chronograph with alternating consecutive lap timing and flyback function. While my love for him is boundless, my pockets are unfortunately not. Explaining why the bonafide LIverpool fan will be getting a Official Liverpool FC Men’s Third Shirt and Shorts and rain coat if he's been good.

This gift is for my sister. She is never on time… in fact, she is always at least 10 minutes early, no matter what the occasion. Much as I admire that quality in her, it's also my constant gripe at how seriously she takes her time, which, according to her, translates to how seriously you take other people's time as well. Someone like her deserves a watch that appreciates her undaunted allegiance to time. If I had it my way, I would get her nothing less than the iconic Patek Phillippe Twenty – 4 watch in rose gold with its diamond markers and yellow gold Roman numerals.Unfortunately,it's not a perfect world and I cannot afford all the things I lust for, be it for myself or others.Taking a reality check, I would buy her the Michael Kors Sawyer Watch. The best part is that it comes in her favourite colour, Midnight Blue, too. Knowing her, she would rock it with everything, from a casual denim ensemble to a chic LBD to a cocktail gown.

I have a friend who firmly believes that everything in life – complaints, adventures and even humour – is heavily dependent on cosmic layouts. Rearranging the lineup of the stars with her bare hands to fix bad days is out of the question, so how I would help to realign her energies elegantly is by giving her a pair of Rock Candy® 18K Gold Large Pear Wire Earrings from Ippolita . This stunning pair of earrings features quartz which is believed to promote clarity. Winding down after a long week is a luxury, so what I would do to help her achieve that is to gift her with the rose quartz and gold Kivita Coasters from Anna New York. She could wash down her blues over a a tipple or two by serving drinks on these beautiful gold-accented dinner table ornaments.
