Author Catherine Pulsifer once said, “When we remember a special Christmas, it is not the presents that made it special, but the laughter, the feeling of love, and the togetherness of friends and family that made that Christmas special.” Indeed, nothing is more precious than a family all wrapped up in each other. However, gifts that you carefully choose can also go a long way to showing how much you care. Let this list of thoughtful Christmas gifts for everyone in the family inspire your festive shopping this year.

10. Apple Watch Series 8
Traditionally, older Chinese did not give watches as presents, believing that these timekeepers were harbingers of the receiver’s demise. But this perception is hardly the norm these days, and watches no longer simply tell the time. They’re lifestyle devices that do So. Much. More. If you’re a woman who needs help keeping track of her monthlies? This does it. Trying to conceive? New temperature-sensing capabilities tell you when you are likely to be most fertile by giving you your estimated ovulation dates. Have no sense of direction? The updated compass feature can help you track your steps right back to your starting point. And especially for the elderly, the Apple Watch’s Crash Detection and Fall Detection features can help notify loved ones if its wearer is danger or in need of help.
From $599, in midnight, starlight, gold, silver, graphite, space black, and (PRODUCT) RED at www.apple.com/sg
