A Dyson A Day, Keeps The Hairdresser Away
We’d be lying if we said owning a Dyson product isn’t a dream come true for many (regardless of one’s gender). However, keep your girl stylish and looking fly with either the Dyson Corrale hair straightener or the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer with the new flyaway attachment.
A little on the pricier side when it comes to hair care, Dyson beauty tech products are absolutely life-changing and are tech products that your partner can get a full use of for years to come.

Charm Her With Jewelry
Ever heard the saying that diamonds are a girl’s best friend? Well, if you’re in a market for sparkly jewelry that says “Hey, remember me?” (and doesn’t scream “WILL YOU MARRY ME?”), can we suggest a ring or a bracelet charm from Pandora?
Take a step back from the infinity sign necklace and the tiara rings, and consider getting a charm or a ring from one of Pandora’s collections. The Danish jewelry maker has a massive collaboration with Disney that will sweep your princess off her feet.
If your girlfriend loves Disney Princesses, Pandora has released two new collections: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast collection and the Disney Princess collection. If your girlfriend is tad geekier and loves a certain princess in a galaxy far, far, away Pandora also has a Star Wars collection for your consideration. There’s an Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter collection too, so really, your choices are endless.

A Gaming Chair To Show Off Her Fandom
Nothing says love than giving your partner the ultimate comfort whilst they work from home all day by a desk.

With many of us stuck at home by a desk all day, one’s back is bound to ache in places that you can’t even imagine.
There are plenty of gaming chairs in the market right now, but the one’s we’ve been liking so far are the Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 Series, the Razer Enki Ergonomic Gaming Chair, the ASUS ROG Chariot RGB Gaming Chair and the Royale Ergonomics Napa Leather Gaming Chair.
Some of these brands have special collections too like Harry Potter with Secretlab and Demon Slayer with Royale so you can find a chair that aligns with your partner’s interests.

Gaming On-the-go With Nintendo Switch OLED
A hot, hot product no matter the occasion, Christmas is the best time to gift your partner the Nintendo Switch – especially if they’ve been whining about how they’d like to have a go on Animal Crossing.
The OLED model has thinner bezels as compared to the original Switch’s display. The 6.2-inch LCD panel on the original Switch is also replaced with a vibrant 7-inch OLED panel. Despite being slimmer and packed with a larger screen, the Nintendo Switch OLED is still a compact and portable console measuring only 9.5 x 0.55 x 4 inches long.

Either way, if your partner is a geek, this is 100% a gift that they will want (some may even argue need). Don’t pretend like you haven’t received hints for this.

Send Her Good Vibes (Literally)
Send your partner good vibes (literally) with a sex toy!
Sexual health and personal needs are as important as our emotional and mental needs, and while one’s feelings of loneliness can be elevated with the attempts to spend time with good friends and family, there are some things we prefer to do on our own, like say, scratching a certain itch.
The Womanizer Premium Eco is a tried and tested clit stimulator that is handy, pretty and eco friendly! Made by Womanizer, one of the leading sex toy makers, you’re leaving your partner in good hands, or well.. technically it’s her own hands, but you get what we mean!
Cost: S$280

If anime isn’t up your girl’s alley, that is okay. Uniqlo has collections with Disney, Marvel and Animal Crossing and more too. All you have to do is scroll through the Uniqlo UT Collections on their website or pop over to one of their stores near you.
