12 gifts ideas this Christmas that you can get on Shopee

15 Dec 2017 / 07:41 H.

    THIS joyous time of the year is one of the best times to shop for things, especially Christmas gifts. It's also the time for most of us to clear off our annual leave so we can chillax with family and friends; and perhaps go for a vacation. Before going away, have you sorted out your Christmas shopping?
    From Dec 12 to 14, Shopee, the leading eCommerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan is running its birthday sale with up to 99% discount across the platform. So, what are you waiting for? Here are 12 gift ideas for your loved ones.
    1. Super Dad
    Let's face the fact, buying for your dad is the easiest! Dads are the most accepting people in the world. Perfume, watches, shoes, golf gloves, whatever! Why not surprise your dad with something that will bring his childhood memories back? There are plenty of things under the Games, Books & Hobbies category. In fact, you might even work on your special project together on Christmas morning over eggnoc and ginger bread cookies.
    2. Mighty Mom
    Yes, she can be a little tricky to please but a mom is still a mom. She loves something useful in the kitchen or the living room. In fact, she is probably, secretly hoping that you'd buy her one of those fancy kitchen storage sets that she can show off to the guests during a mini hi-tea at home. If you have extra cash at hand, why not invest a little bit more on matching glasses. Instead of 6, get her 12 pieces. Shopee's Home & Living category should cover this!
    3. Oh, Brother!
    As annoying as any brother can be, blood is thicker than water. So, just stick to the 'Boys and their toys' rule and you'll find something he'll love. Check out under the Mobile & Gadgets category for the latest mobile survival kit addition. Mini speakers and headphones would be lovely! And under no circumstances, must you buy him a fidget spinner. He probably has more than 100 of them hidden under his bed!
    4. Stylish Sister
    Your sister would love nothing more than another make-up palette in her almost-professional MUA cosmetics bag. Girls just love splashes of colour in their cosmetic collection, from the nudes to the bold and all the way to the shimmers and glitters. Not sure which colour she'd favour? Well, when in doubt, stick to brushes! No aspiring make-up artist or beauty YouTuber says no to a good set of beauty tools!
    5. Auntie, Love
    Remember those days when your aunt had to babysit you while your parents were away working? Well, say thank you in capital letters and don't forget a small Christmas surprise to go with it. Your aunt is just another mother to us all, possibly cooler and nags less. A nice clutch bag would make her Dec 25 morning happier. Or perhaps a sling bag with matching passport holder for her next vacation. You can find so many options under the Women's Bags & Purses category.
    6. Adventurous Uncle
    Admit it, we all have that one favourite uncle, who took us for a ride on the motorcycle around town, pretending he was a superhero. So, show this uncle that you still see him as a superhero. Get your uncle something from the Tickets & Vouchers category that he can redeem during his leisure time.
    7. Doting Grandma
    Christmas is the time that we all would love a piece of grandma's cookies. Let's turn the tradition around. Why don't you make her cookies this year instead? Not a baking maestro? No worries, get an assortment of cookies from the Groceries category and pack them nicely as gifts. Nobody has to know you didn't bake it. A gift from the heart can come in many forms.

    8. YB Datuk (Grandpa)
    Show him that your love is timeless. All the times he used to carry you around and show you off among his friends as the apple of his eyes and all the times he would put his newspaper down so you could have his undivided attention. What says 'timeless love' better than a good old timepiece? Under the Watches category, you'll find something of his favourite colour. In case you're worried if all 20 of his grandchildren bought him watches, then opt for a watch holder box so now he can show them off to his friends.
    9. Cousin Johnny
    Your brother from another mother! Can be a pain in the ahem, behind but he's still your brother. Get him something equally 'canggih'. How about a wireless keyboard? That would make both work and play more efficient.
    10. Cousin Jane
    If you have a bit more time, why not buy some of those loose gemstones and beads from the Accessories category and make your cousin her own charm bracelet. You can customise your selection to suit her personality. Something to remind her of her birthday, favourite colour, pet, lucky gemstone and voila, Cousin Jane will be happy to wear it anytime, anywhere.

    11. Le Boyfriend
    If this is your first Christmas together, then it should be easy for you to find him something. It can be a little challenging to find something for a long-term boyfriend, considering the gifts that you have gotten him for his birthday, Valentine's, first month-versary, and all the small celebrations that shout 'Us'. Something from Sports & Outdoor would be perfect to start the new year. It's a gentle reminder that his 2017's resolution to lose 5kg has yet to materialise.

    12. My Fair Girlfriend
    The trickiest of them all, we must admit this. Get her the wrong thing, you're likely to celebrate the new year's eve alone. So, check with her friends if your espionage skills are down the drain. She must've said something to them. Girls and their sisterhood. She probably expects something romantic. So surprise her with a trip to Honolulu, Hawaii that you can win by making minimum RM100 per transaction on Shopee through FPX online banking and the trip worth RM15,000 could be yours. On top of that, you can get an iPhone X worth RM5,500 to take better photos and selfies during the romantic getaway.
    Get all your Christmas gifts during the Shocking Sale from Dec 12 to 14, as it runs 5 times a day (at 12am, 8am, 12 noon, 4pm and 8pm) with more than 50 products featured during each cycle. All products are on lowest price while stock lasts.
