Have you ever had a situation where you need to get a last minute gift or you can’t think of what gift to get after walking for hours around the mall or you simply can’t find time to head out to get a gift? Well i have been in such situations a couple of times and i ended up getting last minute typical gifts such as tumbler, mugs or photo frames, LOL
Well, i might just have the solution for you. I was recently introduced to an online gift marketplace which helps to find the perfect gift for any occasion, be it birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas etc. With credits given by the kind folks of MerryMaker.com, i got to personally try out out their service and bought some gifts for the people around me (and also something for myself!)
For last minute gift givers, the ultimate solution would definitely be Merrymaker Build-a-box service which is an on-demand service which allows you to put a gift together in seconds. Simply choose the perfect gift from a wide variety of items, the people from Merrymaker will have it wrapped in a beautiful packaging, include a handwritten gift card and have it delivered to your recipient! (Psst. They can even deliver the gift box in under 24 hours! Subject to item availability.) The service cost only $15 on top of the price of your gift(s)! It's considered really cheap with delivery!

My items came in this huge MerryMaker gift box and the insides was tastefully decorated with dried flowers, paper confetti and even glitter. Imagine the happiness and excitement inside you when opening a gift like that! HAHAHA
My mum is a huge fan of scent and so i decided to get her the Peace Candle Gift Box ($38) by The Besotted Things. The gift box contains 2 of their best selling soy candle scent - Ocean and Coriander & white lime. Each tin burns for about 20 to 25 hours. It was packed nicely in a brown box along with some dried plants, perfect for a gift. She loves it btw, hehe
As for my dad, being constantly outdoor under the sun and also on the road, i got him a pair of Sunglasses by Nectar ($49) in Matt Black frame and black lens. Some of the notable features of the shades include it being lightweight for maximum comfort and UV400 protection. Other than a good meal, this pair of sunglasses would make a good Father’s day gift i guess :)
One interesting thing among the wide variety of items that MerryMaker.com offers are cakes! They have a range of cakes and food items such as macrons, chocolates and more from established bakeries and brands. I took the chance to order a Rosette Cake ($83 with delivery) from A. Han Bakes and requested for the exterior to be in Ombre Blue to fit the dessert table theme for my BFF - Jiaqi’s birthday party that weekend! What i really like is we can try to request for customization (in my case, change of color, originally it's pink ombre) to make it a perfect gift for your loved ones! ❤
Look how pretty the cake turned out! Had the cake delivered on the actual day and the guests were raving at how good the cake was. The interior of the cake is actually Triple chocolate! *drools* A cake can actually be a gift too!
Using the remaining credits (which isn’t a lot after i got the previous 3 gifts), i got myself a Starter Granola Gift Set ($9.50) by Proof & Pudding! It comes in 3 individually packed 50g packs and the 3 flavours were Dark chocolate, Cranberry & Turkish Fig and Rock Salt Vanilla. I’m actually munching on chocolate one while typing this post, LOL
Instead of browsing the entire Merrymaker catalog for gifts, the items are pre-arranged into several categories such as “Gifts under $30”, “Gifts under $50”, “Gifts for him/ her”, “Personalized gifts”, “Experience gifts” etc so it makes it easier to find the perfect gift. Before i end this post, here’s a couple of pretty interesting and not-so-typical gifts i found after browsing MerryMaker.com:
Last but not least, if you are considering trying out Merrymaker gift services, do use the gift code - “ANDYMERRY10” to get $10 credits for your purchase! Valid till 31 August 2016.
Happy Shopping!
