A Year-End Needing Comfort... A Self-Gift for 'Me'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] As the year-end approaches, the trend of giving ‘self-gifts’ to oneself who has overcome a challenging year is gaining popularity. Since the purpose of the gift is for oneself rather than others, there is a growing preference for items that help one take care of themselves and enjoy comfortable relaxation.

Especially with the expectation that more time will be spent at home next year, home-stay items that have evolved from simple resting spaces to home esthetics, home training, home cafes, and home entertainment are becoming popular gifts. As the year-end approaches, why not take some time for yourself with products that enhance the quality of home-stay life?

Due to COVID-19, visiting dermatologists or esthetic clinics has become difficult. If you are concerned about dull skin and sensitive scalp, we recommend self-care items that can be easily managed at home. Home beauty products not only allow you to relax and care for yourself at home but also feature easy-to-use methods that enable anyone to perform professional-level care comparable to esthetic treatments.

‘Vitabrid C¹² Face Brightening’ is a vitamin C powder formulation applied to the skin, designed as a hybrid product to be mixed with your usual toner, essence, or cream. It contains the company’s patented ingredient Vitabrid CG, which stabilizes vitamin C?prone to oxidation?by encapsulating it with minerals, allowing vitamin C to be absorbed continuously by the skin for over 12 hours, brightening dull skin and making it clear and radiant.

‘Vitabrid C¹² Hair Tonic Set [Professional]’ is a special scalp care product that mixes the included vitamin C powder with tonic and sprays it onto the scalp, allowing hair and scalp care at home. It safely delivers vitamin C to the scalp and promotes collagen production to strengthen the scalp’s natural resilience. Additionally, both products offer a subscription delivery service tailored to the consumer’s desired schedule, reducing the hassle of repeated purchases and enabling more convenient home care.

With increased interest in health and immunity due to COVID-19, home training products that allow easy exercise at home are gaining popularity. Given the limited space typical of home workouts, compact and highly storable and usable exercise items are attracting attention. Alongside these, various services such as video content and platforms that enable more effective workouts are also being introduced.

The influencer business group ‘Leferi’ collaborated with Pilates specialist coach ‘Coach Isul’ to launch ‘Dewit Home Set’ by Dewit, a home fitness product consisting of four items: ankle bands, hip bands, a mat, and a mat strap, targeting home training enthusiasts.

These small tools, designed through research for optimal exercise effects, help adjust intensity according to the wearing position and exercise posture, enabling efficient strength training. Moreover, to help users exercise effectively alone as if receiving one-on-one training, exercise lecture videos by ‘Coach Isul’ are provided through Dewit’s official YouTube channel.

As social distancing measures have tightened, making caf? visits difficult, enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee at a caf? has become challenging. Consequently, home caf? machines that allow you to enjoy coffee with excellent flavor as if brewed by a barista are gaining attention as self-gift items.

The ‘Illy Francis Y3.3’ capsule coffee machine inherits the performance, functions, and design of the previous ‘Illy Francis Y3.2’ but replaces the switch with an electronic button type for easier and simpler operation. It also features an adjustable cup holder height according to cup size, allowing customers to customize the extraction amount to their preference. Equipped with Illy’s patented IPERespresso system, it lets you enjoy the original aroma, rich crema, and deep taste of Illy coffee at home.

With difficulties in enjoying movies, concerts, and sports events in person, more consumers are seeking to enjoy home entertainment comfortably at home. Consequently, the home cinema market, which offers larger screens than mobile or smart devices, is growing, and related industries are continuously launching high-performance projectors that can be easily installed and used at home.

The LG CineBeam Laser 4K projector features a ‘Triple Screen Adjustment’ function that allows projection of the desired screen shape at any position, enabling high-quality video viewing even in homes with spatial constraints. Additionally, its brightness optimization function provides the best screen tailored to the viewing environment and content, and it supports various wireless connection features such as Apple ‘AirPlay 2,’ WiSA, and Bluetooth, helping you enjoy your personalized emotional cinema life more conveniently.
