04. WINTER WONDERLANDS:
When you need to beat the heat (which is always), join Private Jet Tours’ “Tip to Toe Expedition”, the world’s first Arctic to Antarctic private jet trip. The 11-day tour includes activities like kite skiing, zip lining over a frozen lake and visiting emperor penguins.
05. PICTURE PERFECT:
When food shots and selfies don’t cut it anymore, grab an adventure camera and seek out some extreme photography. The newly released Leica X-U, with its waterproof, dustsealed, shock- and freeze-resistant build, will be sure to survive whatever you can.

07. RETRO REVIVAL:
A 1957 Ferrari 335S Spider Scaglietti sold for £24.7 million (S$50 million) last month, breaking the record for the most expensive classic car to be sold at an auction. This car, which is one of just four ever built, was driven by racing legends like Mike Hawthorn and Stirling Moss.
08. SPIRITED AWAY:
If you missed your chance at acquiring a bottle of The Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013, famous for being crowned world’s best whisky in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, look out for its spicy and less fruity 2016 successor. Only 5,000 bottles have been made.
