Gifts for Beauties: Skincare and Fragrance
These are some of my favorite skincare items I received this year and genuinely love. Each one is high quality, either gifted by brands or purchased myself.
Loved this set for the price and efficacy of the products. My favorite item right now is the Neutrogena Hydro boost. It's a gel that's amazing for hydration. Great quality product for the price. Amazing underneath makeup and you won't run out of this...
Neutrogena 7 Days of Skincare Gift Set, 7 Items
Sweet lovely scent! I've had my eye on this for some time and finally got it for myself at the duty free section at the airport. It's a good size that I like to bring with me when I travel. It's fresh and sweet. No regrets and my favorite scent this ...
English Pear & Sweet Pea Cologne
Excellent Citrus scent for those looking for an oil based body wash that will leave your skin so smooth after a shower. Great for hydration and a subtle citrus scent! I got this as a gift this year and have been loving it.
The Body Wash | Multi-Oil
This Lip gloss balm is amazing and I've received so many compliments this year from my friends and even people at networking events. It's a lipstick and gloss combined in one!
Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm | 3-in-1
This Labo H shampoo and Conditioner set is amazing! I received these as gifts this year from the brand and have loved it. It's wonderful for your hair and scalp health. I've consistently used this for a couple months. I noticed my hair became shinier...
LABO-H Scalp Strengthening Shampoo & Conditioner
One of my favorite face gels! I was gifted the belif Aqua Bomb True Cream and have loved it ever since. It has a refreshing, cooling feel when you apply it and is incredibly hydrating. The only downside is how quickly I go through it!
belif Aqua Bomb
Gifts for cooking and baking lovers
Here's a list of stuff that I bought for myself this year but may make a great gift for your friends if they enjoy cooking and baking.
Really great toaster for the price ($25). Good for those on a budget or needs to save space. It's also super cute, available in different colors. I bought this for myself and can't wait to open it!
bella 2-Slice Slim Toaster | Fits-anywhere™ kitchenware
Bamboo steamer that's great for those who like cooking. The bamboo steamer really makes a difference when you're reheating food by steaming. I used to steam using a rack but this has been a game changer. Also it's two levels so you can steam lots of ...
Bamboo Steamer Basket
Staub products are amazing for cooking steaks, chicken, etc. Highly recommend you try it but of course, it's going to be big and heavy. Make sure the person receiving the gift would appreciate this :)
Cast iron STAUB Fry Pans
A gift to remember
Gifts that commemorate shared memories are a beautiful way to celebrate milestones like anniversaries, friendships, and creative achievements.
Photobooks make amazing gifts for your significant other, family or close friend. This was something I made for myself as I used to be in Yearbook back in high school. I really enjoyed creating spreads, editing photos and telling a story with each pa...
Shutterfly
Canvas for a friend if they're an artist, musician or significant other. This is something I did for myself earlier this year to celebrate the release of my latest record “By Design” by Vivian Lok. You can check out the artwork on any streaming platf...
Canvas On Demand
Mixtiles for Travel, family, music photos. I haven't done this yet but plan to print out Mixtiles for my cover art photos. I love that you can stick them onto walls (no installation process needed) and they don't damage your wall if you're in an apar...
Mixtiles
A personal photo shoot for those living in OC/LA Southern california area. This is something I gifted myself earlier this year to celebrate the release of my latest music single and to capture updated artist photos for a new artistic era. I personall...

Little Gifts for her
Small gestures truly go a long way, and often the most thoughtful gifts come in the simplest forms.
Huntington Library Gift store has really great finds. If your friend appreciates art, you can probably find a great gift at the store here. You can even stop by for a stroll around the gardens. The Hunting Library has been a great for me to go to. It...
The Huntington Store
A cute journal she’ll actually want to write in. As an artist and lyricist, I’m very introspective and love writing out my thoughts. I had been searching for a journal for myself but couldn’t find anything that truly resonated with me. A friend later...
JOURNAL
Gifts for the content creator
This is what I currently use or is still on my wishlist!
A true game changer for video and content creation. When I bought the Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo for myself, it completely elevated my workflow. As a content creator, I was already filming on my iPhone—which has a great camera—but this took things t...
Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo
I haven’t bought this yet, but after doing some research, this one has really caught my eye. I’m still exploring video camera options, and this would be perfect for creating beauty content for TikTok (and YouTube) down the line. It’s on sale right no...
Sony ZV 1 20.1 Megapixel Digital Camera
This is another video camera alternative I am seriously considering. Highly recommend checking this out as well!
Sony Alpha ZVE10
Gifts for the Audiophile
I get sent Vinyls every now and then for consideration and am looking for a record player. I am still researching but this is what I like so far. I saw this when I was traveling in Hong Kong two years ago.
This turn table is compatible with my existing Sonos speaker which makes things easy on me as I don't need to buy anything additional. It's a bit expensive for me at the moment but I definitely have my eye on this.
