The Best Christmas 2024 Holiday Lifestyle Gift Sets To Shop

Merry Chocolate by Venchi

holiday 2024 lifestyle gift

There’s something timeless about a good ol’ box of chocolates—simple, yes, but it’s one of those gifts that always hits the spot. Not only does it taste great, but it has a special way of bringing people together and creating sweet moments. Venchi is taking that feeling to a whole new level with their Merry Chocolate collection, a collaboration with internationally acclaimed illustrator Anna Higgie. The designs are pure holiday magic—snow-capped hills, adorable little reindeers, and snowmen frolicking about. Each box feels like its own miniature work of art.

For the biggest chocolate lover, the Prestige Advent Calendar is a must-have. Packed with 31 pieces of the finest Italian chocolates, it’s the kind of gift that keeps on giving every day leading up to Christmas. If you’re looking for a smaller token, the Star and Tree Tins are delicious gifts too and the tins themselves can be used as festive decor around the house.

Available at Venchi stores.  

Nespresso Festive Collection 

holiday 2024 lifestyle gift

We all know that one person who can’t start their day without a cup of coffee—and probably owns a Nespresso machine. Well, Nespresso is kicking off the season with something special, inviting coffee lovers to enjoy an ‘Unforgettable Holiday’ with new flavours created in collaboration with French Michelin Star Chef Jean Imbert.

One of the standouts is the Peanut and Roasted Sesame flavour, inspired by Imbert’s culinary journeys. It’s a mix of toasted sesame, popcorn, and mixed nuts, giving a warm, cosy vibe that’s just right for the season. There’s also the Almond Croissant flavour, which will instantly transport you to a charming Parisian café. These coffee capsules aren’t just your average morning pick-me-up; they’re a full-on gastronomic adventure. Nespresso has an advent calendar with 24 capsules and a porcelain mug to make the countdown to the holidays even sweeter.

Of course, there’s the classic Nutcracker—perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your tree. And let’s not forget the beloved Kris bear, dressed up in a winter scarf and snowcap to join in the festive fun.

Diptyque Festive Candles

No gift guide is complete without a candle, especially from Diptyque. This year, they’ve teamed up with artist Lucy Sparrow, known for her fun and poppy felt creations, to launch a special end-of-year collection. The lineup includes three limited-edition candles: Sapin (Pine Tree), Étoile (Star), and Friandise (Sweet Treat). 

Devotees of the Sapin fragrance will surely love it in candle form with warm, smoky notes of Siberian pine and balsam fir—just what you need to cosy up on a cold day. Craving something sweeter? Friandise smells like a gingerbread dream, with hints of ginger, cinnamon, candied orange peel, and vanilla. For a more elegant scent, Étoile brings a velvety mix of rose and sandalwood. Each candle has a logo made with soft felt for that fuzzy feel. And if you can’t decide between the three, there’s also a mini trio set.

Dior Candleholder

holiday 2024 lifestyle gift

For the bougie friend, a Dior candleholder sounds just about right. To celebrate the brand’s savoir-faire, this set features three exquisite biscuit porcelain candleholders, each handcrafted meticulously. Known as lithophanes, they come to life with the interplay of shadow and light, revealing iconic motifs such as the architectural lines of 30 Avenue Montaigne, La Colle Noire, and French-style royal gardens. Included with the candleholders are three Bois des Rêves scented candles, designed by Francis Kurkdjian. When lit, the candles cast a warm, glowing light through the lithophanes, making the intricate details pop and creating a magical atmosphere—an expression of Dior’s art of living.

The Beosound A9 isn’t just a speaker—it’s a statement piece. With its sleek, circular design and stunning gold finish, this speaker looks as good as it sounds. The fabric cover doesn’t mess with the sound quality—you’re getting deep bass, crisp mids, and clear highs, without any fuzzy noise. The touch interface makes it a breeze to adjust volume and playback, plus it supports AirPlay and Google Cast, so streaming is effortless. And for a little personal flair, hang it on the wall and it becomes a piece of art. You can even swap out the fabric cover for different colours or prints to match your mood.

Lilin+Co Naughty or Nice Collection

holiday 2024 lifestyle gift

Lilin+Co is best known for its premium soy candles—why soy? Because they’re non-toxic and burn longer, giving you more time to enjoy the scent. This season, the local fragrance studio has two limited-edition candles as part of their Naughty or Nice Christmas collection.

On the Naughty side, you have the spicy Mulled Wine Candle—bursting with warm notes of fruit, spice, and rich red wine. For those on the Nice list, the Blackcurrant & Plum Candle is the way to go, blending fruity aromas with a hint of lemon, cyclamen, and pine. However, if you can’t decide whether you’re feeling naughty or nice this Christmas, there’s a mini set of both candles.

Migyeongsan Hanwoo Gift Packs

Spice up your next potluck or fancy home-cooked meal with Migyeongsan Hanwoo; the exceptionally rare beef (even in Korea) has made its way to Malaysia. Hanwoo is renowned for its balance between texture and flavour, sourced from young female cows that have never been milked or bred, giving the meat a finer grain and extra tenderness. Cooking it at home couldn’t be easier—it’s recommended to just sear on a pan with some salt. There are a variety of cuts to experiment with like brisket, tenderloin, and salchisal (chuck tail flap). The best part? All of the products are halal

Available at Culina KL Market.
