Finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list can be a daunting task – even more so if some of those people are acquaintances and colleagues rather than close friends or family. To help you out with selecting gifts this holiday season, Culture Trip has put together a guide for the perfect gift for each person on your list who loves Singapore.

For The Whole Family

Annual Pass to Adventure Cove Waterpark

With 365 days a year of summer temperatures, you can never get tired of going to the waterpark. Adventure Cove features some exciting rides, including the water rollercoaster Riptide Rocket and Bluewater Bay wave pool. The annual pass also includes admission to the Rainbow Reef where you can snorkel and experience 20,000 fish up-close.

Adult $128, Children (4-12 years old) $88

Annual Pass to Universal Studios Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore is the best amusement park on the island. The best part of unlimited passes is that you don’t feel like you need to go on all the rides in one day – this is especially important if you plan to be visiting on the weekends when the queues are long. This way you can go on one or two rides and then spend the afternoon on the beach.

Adult $188, Children (4-12 years old) $128

Santa’s All-Star Christmas & Universal Studio

Friends of Wildlife Pass

This annual pass is the perfect gift for animal lovers, giving unlimited access to the Singapore Zoo, River Safari, Night Safari, and Jurong Bird Park. The Singapore Zoo and River Safari are two of the best zoos in the world where planners have worked hard to create a natural environment for the animals. The Night Safari is a unique experience where visitors get to learn about the nocturnal habits of animals and experience them firsthand.

Adult $119, Children (3-12 years old) $79 OR Family Pass (2 adults, 1 child) $259

The Projector 10 Tickets Gift Pack

The Projector’s ’10 Tickets Gift Pack’ is the perfect gift for your hipster friend who’s hard to shop for. The Projector, located on Beach Road near Nichol Highway, is very different from your typical mainstream theater. They screen everything from cult classics to international films and even the occasional double bill. Don’t skip the rooftop bar, Golden X The Great Escape, either!

For The Adrenaline Junkie

Singapore Tour on a Harley

Just like the name suggests, see Singapore from a new angle. The tour takes in all of Singapore’s icons: Marina Bay, the Civic District and more. Feel the power of the massive engine as you ride down the alleyways in older areas. Do note that riders must have a valid motorcycle license to ride on their own. The experience includes a sit-down dinner, road tolls, and petrol – everything you need for a perfect evening on a hog.

Packages start at $150

Ultimate Drive

Fulfill your childhood dream of driving a supercar with Ultimate Drive. Their fleet includes Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and even a Maclaren that you can rent for either 15, 30 or 60 minutes. With the 15-minute package starting from your choice of Suntec or Marina Bay, you drive the same course that the F1 uses when it has its night street race here. With the longer packages, you can tour more of the island while driving an amazing car.

Packages start at $198

For The Homebody

Books Actually Subscription Box

Local independent bookstore Books Actually recently started a subscription service. For those who are defiant in their love of reading physical books, this is the perfect gift. Visit the curator page to learn about the different reading styles of each curator, referred to as the Books Actually Elves, and choose the one that suits the person to whom you are sending the box, and then choose three, six or 12 months. Each month, the Books Actually Box comes with a book and some goodies from local vendors. Also, don’t worry if the person you’re giving the book to already has a large collection – Books Actually is happy to send another title in the rare event that you receive a duplicate of a book that you already own.

3 month Books Actually Subscription Box $129

The French Cellar Wine Box

The French Cellar Wine Box delivers two bottles of wine monthly. The wines are curated by Nicholas Rebut, a former Chef Sommelier of three-star Michelin restaurants Le Meurice in Paris and Louis XV (Alain Ducasse) in Monaco. Along with the wine selection, the sommelier will also include a tasting and pairing guide in each month’s box. This gift is perfect for someone who wants to learn more about wine but is unsure where to start.

Wine Boxes start at $109 for a one-month subscription

Thirsty Beer Subscription

With the Thirsty Beer subscription, you can have six, 12 or 24 beers a month for three months delivered to your doorstep. And no Tiger or Chang here. Thirsty is one of the best craft beer shops on the island, meaning that this gift is perfect for your friends who love trying new types of craft beer from all around the world.

For 6 beers/month for 3 months; $178
