My pick is Grounded Pleasures' Chilli Drinking Chocolate from Naiise. Nothing like a rich, dark hot chocolate with a spicy, back-of-the-throat kick to heat things up this season. Can you feel Christmas coming?

My pick is L'Occitane's Verbena Christmas Bauble. I have not met anyone who doesn't like the refreshing verbena scent, and the travel-sized soap, body lotion and hand cream is perfect for everyone.

Knowing that a little contribution from proceeds of the calendars goes a long way to help the dogs under ASD's care makes Christmas (and everyday better). The rescued dogs pictured in the calendar will also remind us to always look on the brighter side of life, and appreciate all that we have.

Last year, I tasted this amazing chili-infused olive oil and I've been meaning to make my own version ever since. So naturally, this DIY kitchen utensil would have been a great gift for my self and my friends. Chili, garlic, rosemary...the infusion possibility is endless. Who knows we can then exchange and compare our homemade creations and form a DIY-Infusion-EVOO club.

Add this to the growing list of memes that revolve around Yishun, but as a proud dweller of Singapore's "hood", this tote bag is totally relatable! It comes in other designs with some hilarious puns on Hougang, Bedok and more. Everyone would love toting this all year round, plus it's a great conversation opener!
