Good old Marks and Spencer has some stunning wrapping options as does IKEA. All of the bigger department stores are safe bets such as AEON, Isetan, Parkson, and Metrojaya, if you’re looking for more traditional paper. Other places to find them include MPH, POPULAR, Toys 'R' Us, Kaison, MR DIY, NOKO, and Daiso.

This is a wonderful, albeit relatively new, tradition. Grab yourself an Elf on the Shelf – you can get an original complete with a little Elf book from Amazon, Lazada, and Shopee or opt for a just as adorable imitation from Spotlight – and set them to work acting as Santa’s ears and eyes over the next month. Give him or her a name and then get some fab ideas from Pinterest where there are loads of suggestions for what compromising positions your kids can find their elf in when they make their way to breakfast every morning up to Christmas.

Looking to give your children a tasty festive treat before they head off to school? Pick up a choccie advent calendar from BIG at either Publika or Plaza Batai. Marks and Spencer also have some Disney-themed calendars, complete with daily chocolates as do Village Grocer and Cold Storage. If you’d prefer to avoid all things sweet, try an IKEA calendar and fill the little individual boxes with whatever you fancy – Shopkins, Lego figures – anything really. Or head over to Smiggle for cute little stationery! For LEGO loving kids, pop by one of the LEGO stores near you to get hold of their fun advent calendars!

You still have time to hunt for the perfect Christmas stockings and have them delivered to you before Santa makes his appearance! Find stockings locally in IKEA, Spotlight, Metrojaya, and Parkson, or just head to Shopee or Lazada online to find the perfect one to fit all your pressies!

Kids love decorating gingerbread houses – as do parents - so make sure you don’t disappoint this year. If you don’t have time, or the inclination, to make your own, you can pick up a ready-to-decorate version at IKEA, Spotlight, Junandus or Yippi Gift. And if you literally can’t even manage the decorating part, Coffee Bean has one and all the hard work has been done for you.

If you’re living far away from friends and family, being organized when it comes to Christmas cards is important…unless you use Moonpig, which has an enormous selection of cards from picture cards to ones that you can personalize with photos of your very own beautiful smiling families. Moonpig is available in the UK, US, and Australia. Otherwise, Marks and Spencers have cards as do your local bookstores like MPH and POPULAR, or stationery stores.

Nothing says Christmas like a cup of tea and a mince pie! But when you're living in the tropics it's not quite so easy to find the necessary ingredients to make your own. That said, you may get lucky and find mince meat in Village Grocer, BIG, or BSC Fine Foods - but it's not a guarantee! Thankfully though, most of the major supermarkets stick a wide selection of tried and tested brands including Walkers, Mr Kipling, and Waitrose. Plus as we get closer to Christmas you should find them in some of the bakeries such as Kenny Hills Bakers, A Pie Thing, Golly Gosh British Pie & Mash, Gravybaby, and Ben's.

Christmas is not quite complete unless there's turkey. If roasting one on your own sounds like too much work, not to worry as there are ready-to-eat birds available at some of the restaurants in KL. Remember to book early so as not to be disappointed. You can find them at Elegant Fine Food, Maria's Steakcafe, Catermate, Gavel KL, Village Grocer, and more.
