The ultimate Hong Kong Christmas gift guide for her 2025

If she’s a lover of tangy scents, then Shanghai Tang’s Ginger Flower collection will make the perfect Christmas gift for her. This signature fragrance is a sophisticated blend of clove, rosewood, rose, and ginger flower. 

Rich, alluring, yet unbelievably subtle, Shanghai Tang’s Ginger Flower fragrances will transform any space into an enchanting retro setting reminiscent of classic Hong Kong flicks like In the Mood for Love. Simply set up your diffuser reeds ($1,480), or better yet, light a candle ($1,280) for an extra romantic Christmas evening with her.

Complete her ‘clean girl aesthetic’ with The Ordinary’s brand-new lash curl finisher. This nifty little bottle is all it takes to keep lashes naturally on fleek without adding extra colour and volume. 

The lash curl finisher comes with a transparent, styling gel that offers 24-hour support for curled lashes and is waterproof with hydrating properties, ideal for all-day use throughout the dry winter. If all this Christmas shopping has already put a dent in your wallet, don’t fret — The Ordinary’s latest creation will only set you back $85.

Korean fashion maison Matin Kim is launching a new skincare collection that integrates the brand’s edgy and trendy aesthetic into cosmetics. Magie du Matin is set to become the brand’s signature skincare line, with the inaugural Aube collection tackling the basics: moisturising, brightening, and deep cleansing. 

Rigorously tested by the Korea Dermatology Research Institute, each item in the Aube collection is rated suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types. The Aube moisture glow toner ($120) preps the skin for a rejuvenating care routine, while the moisture glow ampoule ($140) and cream ($170) offers nourishing, all-day hydration that will keep skin firm and radiant.

If she’s a bit of a beauty guru, you can add a welcome addition to her skincare regiment with Estée Lauder’s advanced night repair eye lift + sculpt essence ($690). An upgrade of the brand’s previous advanced night repair collection, this new product applies the series’ signature anti-aging technology to four distinct areas: undereye, lid, crow’s feet, and inner corner. This hard-hitting gift effectively soothes out wrinkles while safeguarding youthful eyes against unwanted lines — the perfect formula to a radiant complexion. 

For the lady who appreciates the finer things in life, consider gifting her one of Saicho’s collaborative hampers. The Caviar Cake & Hojicha Dreams ($1,180) is an indulgent gift for her that is equal parts presentable and delicious. Inside, you’ll find a bottle of Saicho's signature hojicha sparkling tea paired with rich, aromatic caviar cheesecakes. 

For something lighter on the stomach, the Saicho x Lala Curio festive hamper ($2,800) offers a delightful alternative. Packed in an aesthetic wicker basket are a series of adorable Christmas accessories, ornaments, and home items alongside Conspiracy Chocolate and Saicho hojicha and darjeeling sparking teas.

If you don’t particularly want all the snacks and fluff in hampers, then just get a bottle of the Saicho instead. The star of the show is this season’s special Osmanthus Sparkling Tea, available in 750ml ($250) or as a case of 24 200ml bottles.

Everyone deserves to feel their best regardless of age. If you’re shopping for a senior member of your family, La Prairie’s Pure Gold collection will make a thoughtful gift for her. Powered by the brand’s Advanced Pure Gold Diffusion System, the collection is one of the most effective skincare lines that counteracts hormone-induced changes during menopause. 

The new revitalising essence incorporates La Prairie’s patented anti-aging technology with dermatological science and cellular research to boost collagen production, offering visible restoration to aging skin while strengthening plumpness, elasticity, and radiance.

Rooted in elegance and subtlety, To Summer is a Shanghai-born perfumer that celebrates all things feminine. The brand is known for its collection of natural fragrances that captures the essence of Eastern botanical scents. 

This newcomer to Hong Kong’s perfume scene brings iconic blends such as Void, a floral tea fragrance inspired by Chinese tea rituals and zen philosophy that soothes with top notes of bergamot and sage. Meanwhile, the Her is a bold and musky combination of Fo Shou, mandarin, and rosemary — an ideal gift for the modern, free-spirited woman.

Level up her skincare regiment with state-of-the-art beauty tech from CurrentBody! Known for its results-driven technology, CurrentBody’s collection of LED light therapy masks targets specific skin and hair conditions with clinically proven wavelengths. 

The LED Multi-light Therapy Mask ($4,950) includes five treatment modes for brightening, clearing, and rejuvenating the skin. Meanwhile, the LED Light Therapy Panel ($8,899) offers maximum coverage with a flexible design and uses four wavelengths to effectively target aging skin and blemishes anywhere on the body.

Stuck on what to get her for Christmas? You can’t go wrong with an adorably festive plushie, and Cocktail has just the thing for you. Designed and handcrafted in East London, Bobby Dazzler is a series of holiday dolls ($895-1,395) that each carries a distinctive vintage look. 

Composed of up-cycled materials, these festive buddies swap out the uniform cuteness of the classic teddy bear for the quirkiness of the recently-gone-viral Fuggler, resulting in creations that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Give her the gift of radiant glow this festive season with Aesop’s latest skincare staple. The Lucent Facial Refiner ($685) is a rinse-off exfoliating mask that rejuvenates while it cleanses. Designed for dry and dull skin, this exfoliator is not your ordinary deep-cleaning regiment, but is also packed full of nourishing essential oils and vitamins that bring radiance and plumpness to your complexion. Add on the Lucent Facial Concentrate ($1,420) for extra safeguarding against the dry winter breeze this Christmas. 

Maison Giulia’s non-alcoholic sparkling cuvée ($298) will make for a thoughtful and no-less-delightful gift for health conscious girlies this year. Crafted with a blend of unique Bergerac grapes, fragrant Corsican fig leaves, and Provence lavender, this unique bottle is just as sophisticated as its boozed up counterparts. Offering a complex floral tasting profile, this cuvée is sure to impress guests of all ages at your upcoming celebrations.
