As Miley Cyrus sings in her song “Flowers,” “I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, talk to myself for hours…” Let’s be real! Like her, you probably have a long list of things you want to buy for yourself, and there’s no reason to feel guilty about it.
Here are some of the best gifts to treat yourself with, including some of my personal favorites and a few items on my wish list.
#1: ORAL-B ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
Investing in your oral health is always a smart decision. My husband swears by his electric toothbrush because it cleans so much better.
Priced at S$269 at Watsons, the Oral-B iO Series 5 Limited rechargeable electric toothbrush is an excellent choice. This toothbrush offers five cleaning modes—daily clean, intense clean, sensitive, super-sensitive, and whitening. It also features a two-minute timer, three brush heads, a travel case, and an AI-powered app to track your brushing habits. This powerful toothbrush will make you feel like you’ve just left the dentist every time you brush!
#2: AIRPODS MAX
Experience audio excellence with the AirPods Max, priced at S$813.90 in Apple’s website. These high-fidelity headphones deliver an unparalleled listening experience with their advanced noise cancellation and immersive sound quality.
Whether you’re commuting, working out, or just relaxing at home, the AirPods Max will enhance your audio experience.
#3: PIQUE KIMONO BATHROBE
Lounge in ultimate comfort with the Pique Kimono Bathrobe from H by Frette, a brand known for supplying linens and towels to the world’s top hotels since 1899.

#4: AESOP RESSURECTION AROMATIQUE HAND SOAP
Treat your hands to the luxurious Resurrection Aromatique Hand Soap for S$55 at Tangs. Known for its delightful fragrance and gentle cleansing properties, this hand soap is a perfect addition to your self-care routine.
It’s an everyday luxury that adds a touch of elegance to your home.
#5: DYSON V15 ABSOLUTE CORDLESS VACUUM
Unless specifically requested, gifting someone a vacuum can be misinterpreted. However, if you still don’t own the Dyson V15 Absolute Cordless Vacuum after your holiday haul, it’s time to gift it to yourself.
Priced at S$1,299 at Harvey Norman, this vacuum offers powerful suction, advanced filtration, and intelligent optimization, making cleaning effortless and efficient.
#6: FITBIT INSPIRE 2
If your 2025 New Year’s resolution is to get healthier, consider investing in a Fitbit Inspire 2. Priced at S$150 on Amazon, it features everything you need to track your health and fitness goals.
With a 24/7 heart rate monitor, activity tracking, sleep tracking, and a daily readiness score, this water-resistant device helps you stay on track without constantly needing to charge it as it has a 10-day battery life.
#7: DIOR ADDICT LIP MAXIMIZER
I recently received a compliment on this lip gloss at an optical store, with someone saying it looked so natural. I couldn’t agree more!

Priced at S$61 at Dior, this gloss is my absolute favorite, with its pigmentation and smooth application making it a must-have in any beauty routine.
