Diwali Gift Guide for Singapore
** Blogpost updated on Oct 12, 2022 **
Diwali is a special time of year for many South Asians. While Singapore's current restrictions will not allow for group gatherings and celebrations for Diwali, one thing is certain - we all are, nonetheless, looking for ways to make the Festival of Lights special for our family and friends. I've had the distinct pleasure of being able to try products and services by many South Asian entrepreneurs by virtue of being in the social media space, and am so grateful for that. As a way to support them, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a Diwali gift guide specific for Singapore-based brands and businesses creating festive gift boxes and hampers!
I have personally tried and tested over 95% of the products/services relating to the festive season in the list below. If I have missed any, please do let me know and I'd love to add to this list.
Fun fact: Almost all of the tags below are women-led businesses and I love the idea of supporting them further!
Be it natural essential oils and remedies, eco-friendly stationery, handcrafted candles, block-printed table linen, and other pieces to add a beautiful touch to your home - I've enjoyed them all
