We know major birthdays like the big 21 can be challenging when it comes to buying the best gift for your friends, boyfriend or girlfriend. It is even more challenging with the whole Circuit Breaker, and even with post-Circuit Breaker, celebrating with your bffs, boyfriend, or girlfriend physically is out. As you most probably have already heard, most retail stores and activities will remain closed until phase 2 or 3 of post-Circuit Breaker.
Here is a list of curated gifts that are both unique and cool that you can buy, and we are sure you will be able to put a smile on their faces. Best part is, you can have the gift delivered straight to that special someone. Let us know what personalised message/note you would like to include, and we will get it done for you.
And hey, if it’s not for a 21st birthday, don’t worry you can also consider these gifts for any occasion.
