3. The Classy-Cool GF - BUNGA Collection Batik Earrings by Oh Dayang

For the girls that are sophisticated and classy, who love vinyl records and teatime kuihs, and have the most down-to-earth energy you've ever encountered — the handmade batik earrings from the BUNGA collection by Oh Dayang are the perfect gift for them.

Oh Dayang was founded by Dayang Nur Syafiqah and is based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Starting off by using leftover textiles, Oh Dayang now uses freshly produced batik for their earrings to match their ever-growing customer population.

4. The Lethal Beauty GF - Lip Collection by Larimar Cosmetics

She turns heads in every room she walks into. She's the baddest of them all. Everybody either wants to be with her or be her.

The perfect gift for her? The lip collection from Larimar Cosmetics.

With five gorgeous gloss shades and four deliciously-smelling lip balms, Larimar Cosmetics prides itself in being a handmade beauty brand, using 100% high-quality natural ingredients to make their products. Based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Larimar Cosmetics makes their products daily. The brand also sells body care items, such as body scrubs and body butter.

5. The Ethereal Goddess GF - Semi-precious Jewellery by @cchunkythings

Angelic, magical, and almost other-worldly, you'd think that she was a fairy in her past life. She probably enjoys collecting seashells or stargazing at night. It's the little imperfections that make something, or someone, perfect to her.

Get her something from @cchunkythings, and she'll love you even more.

Ethically-made with gorgeous freshwater pearls, semi-precious stones, and glass beads on tarnish-resistant fittings, no two pieces from @cchunkythings are the same. The label makes thematic pieces, from Alice in Wonderland to color-coded ensembles, with their best-selling pieces being Lucid, Serendipity, and their Blooming Buds line (pictured above).

@cchunkythings jewellery are at a pre-order basis. Each piece takes about two to three weeks to produce.
