1. Aries: Premium meats platter

Who’s this for: Ruled by the fearless planet of Mars, Aries are bold and ambitious go-getters with fiery, larger-than-life characters. These fire signs have a penchant for adventure and you’ll find them diving headfirst into challenging situations. After all, they’re thrill-seekers with a competitive streak — and they never fail to come up top. 

The gift: The hearty premium meats platter (S$48, U.P. S$82.90) from Collin’s harmoniously complements their joie de vivre. Similar to their spunky, audacious personalities, these folks enjoy tucking into dishes with vibrant and dynamic flavours. They’re not one for boring and bland, after all. 

The promotion: The set boasts a plethora of meats, such as its signature grilled chicken chop, roasted barbecued pork ribs (½ slab) and juicy Arabiki pork sausage, perfect for the intrepid Aries. You can feast while enjoying a discounted price from GrabFood, for the promo is going for an eye-watering 42% off.

2. Taurus: Pizza

Who’s this for: Represented by the bull, Taureans are all about ’dat rest and recreation life. These celestial earth signs are incredibly attuned to nature and healing, often basking in serenity and bucolic environments. Unlike their fellow Aries types, they live life at a slower pace, embracing each moment (and taste) as if it were their last. 

The gift: The way to the heart of these oxen is soothing, comforting flavours. They’re humble, down-to-earth creatures who will gravitate towards food that they’re familiar with, so gifting the It’s Giving Merry bundle (S$58.90, U.P. S$83.50) from Pizza Hut will be perfect for them. 

The promotion: The deal comprises a large cheesy bite pizza with nostalgic flavours, such as Hawaiian, four cheese and beef pepperoni. It also comes with a loaded, sandwich-inspired Hut Melt and two sides. With 26% off its usual price on GrabFood, this combo will assuredly be one that the Taureans in your life will fall head over heels for.

3. Gemini: Sushi

Who’s this for: Geminis are energetic and curious creatures who are constantly on the prowl for excitement and newness. Represented by the celestial twins, these air signs have an electric duality that makes them oh-so-intriguing. You’ll never catch them rooted in one place for a long period — in fact, they enjoy juggling a range of passions and hobbies. They’re also up for a thrilling escapade anytime, anywhere.

The gift: As fluid beings who quickly move from one idea to the next, Geminis love variety and change. For instance, the Sushi Wonderland feast (S$66.80, U.P. S$72.60) from Maki-San has a quirky element of surprise that these individuals won’t see coming (and yes, they’ll love the unpredictability of it all). 

The promotion: The sushi brand is offering 8% off its Sushi Wonderland feast on GrabFood! The combo comes with a heady combination of four sushi flavours, crunchy snacks and drinks. With its wide range of options, these enigmatic folks are guaranteed to have a party in their mouths.

4. Cancer: Japanese treats and sushi

Who’s this for: Meet Cancers — the most caring and sweet-loving of the astrological signs. They’re gentle-natured and immensely compassionate, always looking out for someone else. These celestial crabs are the “mom friends” of the group, as they’re natural-born nurturers with warm and kind souls. 

The gift: For these water signs, their love language is cooking a homemade meal for their friends and family. But it’s time to show them some love too and we’ve got just the tasty gift to light a smile on their faces: The indulgent salmon party set (S$18.99, U.P. S$28.99) from Don Don Donki. The mom friends can never resist Japanese treats, snacks and essentials from Donki, especially when they’re priced at a good deal. 

The promotion: Priced at 31% off its usual price on GrabMart, this premium bundle is sheer aburi salmon galore. It’s served in a set of 25 sushi, of which there are five tantalising flavours. The platter makes for a refreshing and hearty choice — just the way Cancers enjoy their food.

For them, the ultimate gift-giving experience comes from tucking into good food with their loved ones.

Social anxiety isn’t in their dictionary and they’re the folks that you can rely on to lighten up the mood.

10. Capricorn: Liqueur

Who’s this for: At first glance, Capricorns are reserved individuals who keep to themselves. But anyone who knows these sea goats will know that they have a crazy, party-loving side to ’em and they aren’t afraid to show it. Contrary to popular belief, they’re mischievous troublemakers who’re notorious for having fun (or too much at that) and they’re all ready to let loose and turn the funk up.

The gift: “Eat, drink and repeat” is their motto, so these party animals will appreciate nothing more than to sip on premium liqueur to kickstart their evening. Check out the limited-edition Jagermeister party set (S$65) from Prime Liquor, which comes with a bottle of Jagermeister herbal liqueur, as well as free merchandise.

The promotion: Liqueur ain’t cheap, so the current gift pack promotion by Prime Liquor on GrabMart is a worthy steal. Besides a bottle of Jagermeister, the bundle comes with either a complimentary pair of sunnies or a tall glass.
