From fancy water bottles to niche accessories for the home, you can tell that designer brands are truly going all out this year, giving you even more options to enjoy the little luxuries in life even at home. And today’s spotlight shines on everyone’s great love, playing cards, which will even be more essential come Lunar New Year.

These playing cards are also sold together with boxes, making for a great gift idea if you’re tired of getting the usual favourites like chocolates and scented candles, for example. Some of them are also sold with an extra case, so if you’re visiting a pal’s housewarming, for example, then you can definitely count on one of these five below.

Celine has recently opened its Singapore online store, and you can shop its latest Collection Maison Celine right in the comfort of your home. There are trinket bowls, jewellery cases and even this Playing Card Case (SGD550), which comes with a single deck of Triomphe-printed cards in a Triomphe Canvas/lambskin case. Do look out for the Playing Cards/Pouch Arsène (SGD720) from Louis Vuitton and the Saffiano leather playing cards set (SGD815) from Prada as well, as they are both quality contenders that are sold together with signature cases in Monogram Canvas and black leather respectively.

Hermès’ Les 4 Mondes Bridge Playing Cards (SGD175) and Tiffany & Co.’s Paper Clip Playing Cards (SGD140), on the other hand, are both sold in a set of two, and you can look forward to silver-edged cards finished with an avant-garde H motif, as well as the funky paper clip design respectively. While they do not come with a matching case, they are also two of the lower priced options under SGD200, which makes sense if you want to be extra fancy without breaking the bank.
