Yes, food is perishable but no one would say no to more food, especially a foodie! Chocolates, cookies and log cakes make great Christmas gifts and you can even add a touch of love by making them yourself (if you are a good baker). Just make sure to wrap them up in beautiful wrapping paper and add ribbons and ornaments to make it look like lots of effort was put into it.

If you are concerned about food being perishable and don't wish to gift that to your friend, the next best option would be a gift card! Specifically, a gift card to get a free meal using a food delivery service. We assure you your foodie friend will love this!
The GrabFood digital gift card has four value options - $5, $10, $15 and $20. The best part is that you get to choose a design with a quirky message on it for your friend.
#2 For the sentimental friend

For a sentimental friend, nothing shows you care more than a personalised gift. This customisable notebook by Bynd Artisan ($35) allows you to choose the cover, paper, wire and engrave your friend's name on it. A notebook sounds like a boring gift but not so when it's personalised!

Another personalised gift that your friend will surely find useful is a phone cover. A custom iPhone case from CASETiFY (from 29 USD, about SGD 40) allows you to choose the case type ranging from clear to glitter and more and personalise your friend's name on it by choosing the font, layout and colour.
#3 For the friend who has everything
You may have a friend who seems to already have everything they want in life which makes it more difficult for you to get a gift for that person. If that is the case, we recommend getting or making a thoughtful gift that shows you care and think about her.

Does that friend have a pet she loves more than anything? Maybe getting her pet a cute Christmas costume will warm her heart.

Does she travel often? If yes, get her a cosmetics travel pouch for her to store all her essentials safely and in style. This one by Mark & Scribe ($59.95) also allows you to engrave your friend's initials on it, making it all the more special.

If you have more time on hand and truly want to make a gift that would touch your friend's heart, why not try making a scrapbook? Print out all your photos together and write little notes to her, reminding her of all those good times both of you had!
