With only a few days left until Christmas, we hope you’ve done all your Christmas shopping. But if you haven’t we got you covered. From festive cocktails and wine to cakes and chocolate, here’s the ultimate Christmas gift guide for all the foodies out there!
For the tea lovers
As the weather gets chillier each day, sometimes all you need is a blanket and a warm cup of tea. At T2 Tea, they have an extensive selection of teas that make for the perfect Christmas gift. If you prefer something more fun and artistic, the Tall Tales tea set features interesting illustrations based on stories of discovery and adventure from around the world. For something more simple and elegant, the Tiger set comes with a fine bone china teapot, a cup and saucer, as well as a stainless steel infuser.
T2 Tea, various locations nationwide. Available in-store and for delivery.
For the most discerning spirit drinkers
From gin to whiskey, the Academy of Drinks is the best place to get gifts for your friends who are avid spirit drinkers. What makes the Academy of Drinks stand out from its counterparts in the market are their spirits discovery boxes, curated to provide a deep dive into different categories and notes of flavour. Priced at S$99 each, every box comes with four 100ml samples of spirits from across the globe with a choice of rum, whisky, and gin. Another gift that’s perfect for the holiday season is gift sets from their top brands such as Westward Whiskey and West Wind Gins.
For a gift that’s more personal and experiential, educational tasting events for up to five people are available at their Tiong Bahru Tasting Room.
The Academy of Drinks, 279 Outram Rd, #01-01. Available for pick up and delivery.
For those who fancy festive cocktails
If cocktails are more up your alley, Junior The Pocket Bar has created a special range of festive cocktails available throughout the holiday season.
These handcrafted cocktails are bursting with Christmas flavours and festive joy. For something more classic, go for the Glüwein, a classic German mulled wine infused with Jamaican Rum, apple brandy and red wine. If you’re looking for something on the sweeter side, the Swiss Miss feels like a warm hug with every sip from the combination of Hokkaido Chocolate Milk, Dark Rum Cinnamon, and Green Chartreuse. Did we mention that it comes with a huge marshmallow on top too?
Each cocktail bottle is priced at S$35, or S$188 for the entire holiday pack containing all six drinks.

For your friend who’s on a keto diet
If you have friends doing a keto diet, it may be a challenge finding the right gift for them that is both low in carbs and high in fat. But at Seriously Keto, they have created an amazing variety of sugar-free treats that you can freely enjoy without the guilt. Their seasonal Christmas specials include everything from whole cakes, cupcakes, and even cinnamon loaves.
If you want to get the all-in package, go for the Jolly Gift Box, which comes with all of their best Christmas offerings from indulgent ginger snaps, a whole cinnamon loaf, and four flavoured cupcakes.

For the cake addicts
What’s Christmas without a cake of some sort, right? At The Providore, you’ll find yourself floored from all the mouthwatering Christmas cakes available. Their selection includes the classic festive Strawberry Shortcake made with decadent L’escure whipping cream from France; the Tuber, which contains a creamy black winter truffle centre, encased in dark chocolate mousse; along with many others to choose from.
What makes these desserts extra special is that they are made to order by their pastry and bakery teams with the finest ingredients, ensuring that all your orders come to you fresh and ready to eat.

For the chocoholics
Regardless of the occasion, chocolates will never go out of season. But if you’re looking for something slightly more elevated with a pop of colour, JANICE WONG’S Neon Chocolate Bonbons will make the perfect gift for chocolate lovers. These vibrant and neon-splattered chocolates come in different flavours like Peppermint, Gingerbread, Cherry, and Dulce De Leche, which tastes like Christmas in a single bite.
