Deck the halls, buy the tinsel, and get sucked into all the limited-edition collections on counters now. A time which fervently divides people, the Christmas period brings out both the super organised, list-making, power-wrappers, as well as those that feel anxiety just from setting foot into a Westfield.
If the latter relates to you, might we suggest an alternate gifting route: the activity voucher. More personal than a gift card, with the ease of a one-size-fits-all mentality, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re steering a friend towards their new signature scent, helping them overhaul their wellness routine, or just looking to satisfy that someone in your life who has it all, these enviable options will provide an experience to remember.

For a gift that’s pressure-free on your part, yet still speaks volumes, bespoke fragrances provide the ultimate personalised present. For $250, Melbourne boutique perfumer Fleurage, offers an hour-long consultation period that’ll result in a 40mL bottle of fragrance. However, for an option that delivers internationally, Waft digitalises the process and quizzes either you or the giftee for a customised scent that delivers right to their door.
