The idyllic Christmas lights in Orchard Road and the familiar 'It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas' song being played in malls; a reminder that December is the season of joy and giving.

Here are the top ten unusual freelance jobs that arose from the hype of these two festive seasons:

Everyone expects their homes to look smack and clean during the festive season, however, not many bears the desire or motivation to perform the task of spring cleaning. A simple solution would be to engage the services of freelance cleaning professionals to do the job with no worries about cleaning up the mess after wild Christmas-eve parties, or fears of homes being not presentable enough for relatives and friends. The professional cleaning aunties and uncles will handle the task easily and prices start from $55 for a three-hour general cleaning service.

 

#2 Gift and Hamper Wrappers

Wish to wrap an impressive Christmas gift or a Chinese New Year hamper for business clients and associates but lack the proper gift-wrapping skills? Lack the time to buy gifts?

#4 Tuition and Enrichment Activities

The holiday season may not be a relaxing period for children with 'tiger' parents who have high hopes and expectation. While some parents may bring their kids out on recreational trips, some parents may wish to send the kids for extra tuition and enrichment classes. This is true kiasu-ism in the workings! Hence, during the holiday season, the demand is high for freelance tuition professionals and enrichment teachers such as a piano teacher. Prices start from $10 per lesson.

 

#5 Pet Sitting Services

Planning an overseas Christmas holiday or an 'escapade' from giving out too many hongbaos during Chinese New Year and need somebody to take care of the furry friends while away?

#7 Bakkwa Buyer

This is another hot-on-the-list request for freelance service providers in recent years. Not wanting to join the queue from a prestigious brand but as a bakkwa connoisseur who cannot survive a CNY season without bakkwa?
