“I think a donation is a nice charitable thing to do. I’m encouraging all my friends to come to Standing Sushi Bar to donate to Restaurants for Good 2019. This year, we’re supporting the Alzheimer’s Disease Association.” – Lim Hui Nan, Great Women Of Our Time 2019, Finance & Commerce Nominee

“I’ve taken to buying gifts from social enterprises instead as its a more meaningful gesture to pay it forward. The Saint Andrews Autism Centre is a wonderful place to start.” – Cheryl Chong, Great Women Of Our Time 2016, Education & Public Service Nominee

“A great gift is to suggest a digital-free day for your friend that has it all. Switch everything off and reconnect with the family.

“You know, a nice thing to do is when the more privileged can give to those who have less. motherswork has a Giving Tree initiative started in 2016, which helps to fulfill the wishes of children or parents from various charities by giving them a meaningful gift for Christmas. This could be in the form of toys, clothes, or even milk formula and diapers.” – Sharon Wong, Founder and CEO of motherswork, & Friend of The Weekly

“What do you give someone who has everything? More time. Get them a holiday where they can escape for a few days from work, family commitments and just reconnect with their spouse.” – Shann Sok, Great Women Of Our Time 2017, Finance & Commerce Nominee

“Sometimes it’s nice to get away from it all so thinking of something I’d like to receive myself, I’d gift a silent retreat. Somewhere where they can meditate by the sea or in nature.” – Esther Wang, Great Women Of Our Time 2016, Science & Technology Winner

“For a close friend who has everything and lacks nothing, I will give them my time, counsel and a shoulder to cry on if and when they need it. For example, getting them a half-day spa vacation in Bintan and going for it together allows us to create priceless memories together.” – Juliana Chan, Great Women of Our Time 2010, Science & Technology Winner
