Gift Ideas for Him & Her - Celebrate New Year with Love [2025]

Gift-giving is always a good idea to keep the love spark alive between you two. Since the New Year is coming near, perhaps it is time to buy something nice for your lover. Maybe one from this list can give you a great gift idea that whispers your wish about continuing another year together. 

1. Gift Ideas for the Romantic Type

If you plan to explore different places and plenty of things to do in Kuala Lumpur, you will not need to rent a hotel room for the whole day and night. Renting a unit for a couple of hours will be sufficient to give you a short rest in between the activities. This way, you can rent multiple hotel rooms in a day, with all of them near your next destination. 

For Him: Desk Decoration

Try something like your favorite love quote printed in Art Deco style with a small frame to place on his office desk. It could also be a mug with hand-painted pictures of beautiful little things about your relationship. A desk decoration will make his workspace less stressful. It also reminds him that you will always be there for him after a rough day of work.

So many stores in Singapore that you can explore to find the perfect one, from IKEA to local artists. With this many options, it should be easy for you to find one in any price range. If you are an artistic person, you might be able to create one yourself!

For Her: Scented Candles

Candles with soothing aroma will give her a sense of comfort – something she will always get from you. The candles can be with her during chaotic working hours or when she relaxes after a busy day. Also, giving candles shows how you understand what kind of aroma she would love. Ain’t it sweet?

Singapore has plenty of stores and artisans for such gift ideas. Common home decor stores like Spotlight and Daiso usually sell such candles for as low as SG$10. But if you wish for more unique aroma and quaint designs, some of the best local artisans to look into are Lilin, Common Joys, Artisan of Sense, and Innerfyre. You may need to raise your budget to SG$30 – SG$100, but it is totally worth it!

Where to Stay for A Tender Loving New Year: The Vagabond Club

Of course, you will need a 5-star hotel with an en-suite bathtub, even better if the room presents a classy, elegant atmosphere to add the romantic vibe. As a timeless boutique hotel, The Vagabond Club will give you even more than that. Beyond the lavish bedroom, the hotel also provides fine dining restaurants. Additionally, you can order a bottle of wine to be delivered to your room, which may make your night even more special.

Rate: From SGD 270 / overnight (Book on FLOW)

Feature(s): club lounge, fine-dining restaurants, bar, courtyard, concierge, fitness center

Address: 39 Syed Alwi Rd, Singapore 207630 (Google Map)

2. Gift Ideas for the Practical Type

Make your partner’s life easier – or more fun – with things they can use regularly. The higher the functionality, the better. Such a gift idea speaks volumes about how you pay attention to what your partner may need, and how much you care about improving their quality of life.

For Him: Temperature Control Mug

How often is it for him to bring a cup of coffee to work, put it aside to cool down a little, and then get drowned in a swarm of paperwork until his coffee turns cold? A temperature control mug will keep his coffee at his desired level of warmth, ready to provide him with a nice caffeine kick anytime. 

If you go through Shopee, you can get a non-brand yet functional one for even less than SG$10. Of course, there are also better options for such gift ideas on this platform. However, if you want something with the most advanced technology and sleek design, go with the Ember brand, which requires you to spend at least SG$250 for the cup and the heating coaster.

For Her: Vacuum Flask

While men will appreciate a temperature control mug, most women prefer their coffee to be ready at hand and able to be plunged into their big tote bags. Going through a mall, running errands, or chasing a career, let her bring your love around along with her favorite beverage of the day! But remember, be mindful about her aesthetics!

Once again, Shopee and Lazada offer a large array of options with prices starting at SG$8. But if you consider gift ideas to be unique and stylish, you can visit Artzillions or The Art Faculty, where the quirky flasks are worth around SG$15 – SG$40.

Where to Stay for A Going-Around New Year: Ji Hotel Orchard

What about a hotel with the most convenient location and reasonable rates? Ji Hotel Orchard is only a three-minute walk away from Dhobby Gaut MRT Station, where multiple lines are available. Even the busy Orchard Road is just right there. You can easily spend your time in many interesting places in the city without spending too much money on hotel rates. The room is simple, yet it covers your practical needs and comfort.

Rate: From SGD 60 / 2 hours (Book on FLOW)

3. Gift Ideas for the Homebody Type

Nothing makes you feel better than staying at home, laying on the couch with the one you love. It is intimate, private, and you are 100% free to wear whatever you want and do whatever you like. These gift ideas are perfect to enhance the comfort vibe for homebody couples.

For Him: Cotton Bathrobe

Let your man feel snuggled in a bathrobe after showering, so he can do some shaving, trimming, or simply enjoy his time before he is ready to dress up. Bonus point for you: High-quality cotton bath robes usually make men look more attractive, and nobody gets to see him this way but you!

Men’s bathrobes are available for SG$25 – 180, depending on the texture, softness, cool feeling, and brand. Big stores like Decathlon, Next SG, and H&M are the easiest places to go, but the designs are mostly plain. For more unique designs and customization, Etsy is always the right platform to search for tastefully designed gift ideas.

For Her: Fluffy House Slippers

Women love fluffy things, and house slippers are essential for those who love chilling at home. They look cute and warm, and they make walking around the house more enjoyable to experience. For better gift ideas, maybe you can give her a blanket or a house sweater that matches the slippers.

Daiso is where you can find the most affordable house slippers for less than SG$5, but you might want to search somewhere else to make your gift ideas less boring. Etsy or other crafty stores in Singapore usually have more options, with prices ranging from SG$15 – SG$250.

Where to Stay for A Homey-Feel New Year: Park Avenue Rochester

A romantic escapade with a home-away-from-home sounds like a wonderful plan for the New Year celebration, and you will enjoy it the most if staying at Park Avenue Rochester. The room is spacious and all-inclusive for staying in for a TLC time – a kitchenette, a bathtub, a TV lounge, and even a washing machine.

4. Gift Ideas for the Outing Type

For those who love travelling and exploring the beauty of nature, the best gift ideas are the things they can carry along that are very useful for their experience. Use the gift as a symbol that your love will always accompany them. 

For Him: Waist Bag

Every outing-loving man needs a little bag that he can attach to his waist or chest to carry their essentials. If your man is more into active adventures, like running or hiking, a running belt or a sports pouch might be better gift ideas. Even when they go to explore the wildlife with a backpack, he would still need to have his small essentials ready on his waist.

Such gift ideas are suitable for any price range, with the cheapest options available on Shopee and Lazada. Better quality products are available at stores like The Wallet Shop or DORS @ Design Orchard, where prices may go around SG$30 to over SG$100. If you prefer running belts for your man, it will be around SG$10 – SG$35 with sports brands like Decathlon, Nike, or Adidas.

For Her: Mini Cosmetic Pouch

Even women who are not into lipsticks and eyeliners will love having a stylish-looking mini pouch. It will make her bag more organized while going around. She would appreciate the gift ideas more if you included some travel-size bottles of her beauty products and a pocket mirror to go with the pouch. 

Similar to other gift ideas, the prices of mini cosmetic pouches are varied, with Shopee and Lazada offering the most affordable items. However, we would love to recommend local artisans with impressive creativity like Crafune, Lyh, or Artisan Collab. With SG$14 – SG$90, your woman can have the most beautiful pouches for their beauty products.

Where to Stay for An Adventurous New Year: Check-Inn Little India

With Little India Station just right around the corner, staying at Check-Inn Little India means you can get direct MRT lines to various outing spots all over the country – Southern Ridges, Fort Canning, Singapore Botanical Garden, and Gardens by the Bay. The room boasts no frills, but the neighborhood is a heaven of culture and culinary outings! Hard to resist if you have adventure energy in your blood, isn’t it?

Not the type of couples who enjoy exchanging presents on New Year’s? Then switch the gift ideas to activities. Get the premium experience with countdowns and fireworks to celebrate the moment with the one you love. These two options are the best you can have in Singapore, but you need to quickly secure your reservations before they run out of tickets.

Singapore Flyer Midnight Date

The Ferris Wheel is a timeless capsule of romance, and the Singapore Flyer has proven to be an all-time favorite for couples’ date venues in the country. With such popularity, of course, they offer some New Year’s specials. New Year’s Eve Countdown Champagne Special or Festive 165 Sky Dining would be the gift ideas that both of you will love for SG$250 – SG$300.

Royal Albatross Countdown Cruise
