TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Singapore holds many interesting things that are certainly not enough to be explored in just one day. After exploring Gardens by the Bay and other interesting attractions, don't forget to buy souvenirs to share with friends or family.
Most people buy souvenirs in the form of miniature Merlion Statues, kaya jam, or laksa seasoning for relatives. However, all of these souvenirs may seem mainstream and too ordinary.
For those of you who want to find unique souvenirs, but still contain the essence of Singapore, Honey Kids Asia and The Honey Combers share a series of shopping places to find the best souvenirs in Singapore that are interesting and certainly anti-mainstream. Read more in the following section!
1. Send Thinks
There is no better souvenir than food. You can give your friends or family a gift from Send Thinks containing various snacks, ranging from kaya jam, curry, and laksa. Without having to get up from your seat, you can order this snack parcel from Send Thinks online.
2. Straight Lights
You can find a series of beautiful bracelets at Straight Lights. However, not just any bracelets, Straight Lights' hand-made souvenirs are designed in such a way that they are able to display the atmosphere of iconic places in Singapore, from the skyscrapers in Marina Bay to the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
3. TEMPLE Candles
Want to always remember the fun moments during your trip to Singapore? Bring home one or more aromatic candles from TEMPLE Candles. The candles here are made with various scents, such as Singapore Orchid and Frangipani, which are inspired by the typical fragrances of Singapore and the Far East. In addition to being fragrant and calming, candles from TEMPLE Candles are packaged in faceted glass which adds to their aesthetics.
4. The Place
The next shopping place to find the best and anti-mainstream souvenirs in Singapore is The Place. Here, visitors can find a variety of bracelets that come in silver and gold. Capable of capturing the essence of the glittering Lion City, bracelets from The Place can be given as gifts to children and adults.
5. Independent Market
This souvenir will definitely be loved by shopaholics. There are many items available at Independent Market, one of which is their tote bag. Named “Let’s Jalan”, this tote bag features various iconic Singaporean elements in its design. In addition, as a tote bag that is easy to carry anywhere, the tote bag from Independent Market is perfect for carrying your shopping.
6. Red Republic
