And what makes me happiest during the season is that I love to go shopping for small gifts to myself at all those glitzy places in town. If you are looking for that something special this year, here are 6 places you can head to.

Re:cess For Your Gingerbread House
There is no Christmas season ever at Hilton Bangalore Embassy GolfLinks, where Re:cess, the 24-hour coffee shop does not come out with their quirky best. Be it the colossal Santas in variations or the whooping chocolate Christmas bells; you name it and it is there. The Chocolate Ginger Bread House is a speciality there and the Plum Cakes are a delight. The fruits used have been soaked for over two months and all of that goodness is bound to permeate into every delicious slice.
Venue: Hilton Embassy Golf Links, Embassy Golf Links Business Park, Off Intermediate Ring Road, Bangalore
