    Gifting perfumes can never go out of style. Holt Renfrew has a wide range of aroma brands you can choose from. Your special lady will be totally in love with Bvlgari’s ‘Le Gemme’ collection, inspired by precious stones and presented in an elegant and attractive bottle. For the men, there is Creed Men’s Discovery Coffret Eau de Parfum Set that includes a 10 ml fill of Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, Silver Mountain Water and a 10 ml Pocket Atomizer Black with Silver Trim.
     
     
     

    Game On!

    Festive gatherings are incomplete without a game or two. Why not gift your favourite pal a novelty game set to add to the fun? Tiffany & Co.’s Walnut Tic-Tac-Toe Set made of sterling silver, American walnut and striking amazonite is an elegant choice, or the Leather and Walnut Table Tennis Paddles are a luxurious alternative to the traditional style.
