As we approach the most wonderful time of the year, shopping for a gift from some of your favourite designers may be a difficult task for some of you. Whether you’re looking for an item that serves a specific function (and hoping the receiver will love and use it wholeheartedly) or sourcing for one under a certain budget, it can be a tedious process, especially if you’ve got an early Christmas lunch or dinner party lined up. Thankfully, you can count on these 3 accessories featured in the post, all of which are housed in small gift boxes that make for the perfect stocking stuffer.

In addition, the common theme among the three lies in the fact that they are all versatile pieces. Dior and Louis Vuitton’s bag charms double up as key holders and can be hooked easily onto your bags to give them extra flair. Hermès’ Twilly, on the other hand, can be worn in numerous ways. Tie it around your bag’s handle for additional protection, wrap it around your wrist like a fun bracelet, or even wear it like a headband or neck scarf for a fun pop of colour to your daily outfit.

As for the designs, you can’t go wrong with this trio either. Dior’s Oblique Canvas Keychain (SGD440) for one, is perfect for logo lovers, coming in colours like Blue, Fuchsia and Yellow that’s irresistible from every angle. Then there’s the Animapolis Twilly from Hermès (SGD250), which has been a signature design of the house for several seasons now. The whimsical print composed by Jan Bajtlik features everything from dinosaurs to zebras, along with monkeys and toucans having fun in a fantasy city.

Last but by no means least, the Vivienne Xmas Bag Charm & Key Holder (from SGD350) showcases LV’s beloved mascot travelling around the world for the holidays, visiting places like Courchevel (on a ski lift, no less), Paris and Venice, pictured on a Monogram Canvas cut-out.

Another point worth mentioning? All of them come under the SGD500 mark, which is honestly a good figure if you’re looking for a gift from a designer luxury house in today’s day and age. Besides, Hermès and Louis Vuitton are available online so you can go ahead and shop away in the comfort of your home, away from the craziness that is Orchard Road this festive period.
