kaisekidiaries coasters for decor-loving friends
Coasters can be great gifts for a decor-loving friend because they're a practical way to prevent water stains on a precious designer table. Plus a coaster is a great way to add just a little extra style to those everyday self-care rituals - like taking five minutes to de-stress with a cup of tea.
Kaisekidiaries creates resin coasters - or 'trays' - that suit both men and women. Each design is handmade and unique and you can choose between floral, crystal, or galaxy designs. Don't forget to customise it by adding your friend's name, or maybe even a small phrase.
Even better, these stylish Christmas gifts from the Singapore brand can be used to neatly store other things as well, such as little trinkets or jewellery. Prices are determined by your requests, the complexity of the design, and more. Contact them to get a quote! However, for a gauge, customisation starts at $26.90 for trays.

Give the gift of a good night's sleep with pillowcases and duvet covers from Weavve Home. For Christmas, they're collaborating with local homeware designers Scene Shang to create unique prints inspired by Asian patterns, but given a contemporary update. For example, the Jade Blossoms print is inspired by the distinctive tiles of Peranakan shophouses, but it also has that clean Scandi style we all love.
Or you can go for Love Is A Warm Brew, which has an illustration inspired by ginger, five spices and cinnamon to remind you of that cosy feeling you get drinking a warm cup of herbal tea.
To suit our tropical climate the pillowcases are made of 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres, which regulate temperature and are cool to the touch. No more flipping over pillows for the cold side for your friend! A pair of pillowcases is priced at $59.
