Are you scrambling for last minute gift ideas? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! All you have to do is to match your friend to one of these personality types, and you’ll have the perfect gift!
#1 THE JET-SETTER
This is the friend who is finally showing up after travelling for the past few months, and who knows where to next. Get her this set of Origins Superstar minis, which will help to keep her skin healthy even with all the airplane air! (It’ll help to keep her below the 100ml liquid limit, too!)
Origins Superstar Minis, $68, is available at all Origins counters and luxola.com. For more information, visit www.origins.com.sg, and follow the brand on Facebook.
#2 THE PARTY GIRL
Heading to a club? This is the girl you call. She knows where the best parties are and these temporary Cult Avenue tattoos are great for all the countdown parties she’ll be attending in the next week!
Cult Avenue Temporary Metallic Tattoos, $39.90 for a set of four, is available at www.cultave.com and Tangs Orchard Level 2. For more information, follow Cult Avenue on Facebook and Instagram.
#3 THE PERFUME OBSESSED
Oud, accord, base notes and vetiver...err, what? This friend will tell you exactly what these terms mean. Give her this Ladies Fragrance Collection containing miniature bottles of five of Penhaligon’s classic fragrances.

#4 THE GLOWING GODDESS
The one girl in your group who has that lit-from-within glow (and a pretty solid skincare routine). This one knows when to scrub, when to hydrate and when to nourish. The Philosophy Glowing Days Ahead set is definitely perfect for her.

M.A.C Prabal Gurung Collection, from $38, is available at all M.A.C stores and counters. For more information, visit www.maccosmetics.com.sg, and follow the brand on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
#6 THE LIP LOVER

#10 THE BEST FRIEND
This isn’t exactly a personality type, but can anyone really replace this lady in your life? If you’ve been racking your brains on what to give her (because she only deserves the best), why not treat this amazing girl to a spa? You can even go together!
Treatment #1: SK-II Boutique Spa by Senze Salus is giving a special 15% off facial gift vouchers until Dec 31, 2014. They also have exclusive Christmas treatments to be bought on their site.
Treatment #2: Clarins Skin Spa is offering a 90-minute treatment at $203 (worth $270), until Dec 31, 2014. If you can’t make the date, book a slot in January for the new full face and body, Art of Touch treatment.
Treatment #3: If you still can’t decide. Bring your friend over to Seviin at Tangs to choose from a whole range of treatments across several brands. A personal favourite is the 60-minute Sulwhasoo Snowise Illuminating treatment, $180.
