This gifting season may have gotten you stumped but there’s no need to worry – there is always a place with a myriad of brands and items that will cover all bases and provide you with options for any person out there. To us, Takashimaya S.C. is such a destination.
The Orchard Road destination has a huge repertoire of stores – peep the recently revamped Chanel boutique or the mall's edit of concept stores. With over 130 different shops spread across its six levels, it is hard to leave the building empty-handed. To make Christmas shopping easier for you, we’ve sussed out a list of desirable gifts that you can find within the shopping haven.

This BE@RBRICK collectible, festooned with a digital print of Andy Warhol’s 1962 silk-screen image of Marilyn Monroe, will delight any culture vulture. After all, the influence of the screen legend is felt in a huge way this year – just clock Kim Kardashian's Met Gala dress and the Blonde biopic on Netflix.
