Planning a trip to Singapore soon? Here’s 5 unique Singapore souvenirs you definitely want to find out about! We promise there is something for everyone.
Singaporean board games
Are you or your friends fans of games? I’m sure we are all familiar with popular board games such as Monopoly and Reversi, but while you’re in Singapore, you might want to bring home a game which reflects the Singaporean identity and our stories. Check out Origame, a creator of interesting local-inspired games such as Durian Dash, Chope! and Kopi King. Durian Dash requires players to visit different plantations to collect their favourite durians to win the game, while Chope! is a fast-paced game which involves chope-ing enough tables to dine at. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
T-shirts with a local twist
Each t-shirt is specially designed with a touch of local humour which makes a perfect gift for tourists who wish to carry a little piece of Singapore back to their homes. Besides a huge range of t-shirts available, Wet Tee Shirt also creates one-of-a-kind tote bags and kids fashion items. My favourite has got to be the Singlish/Hokkien themed shirts. What about you?
Singaporean’s favourite sauces
There are many local sauce brands which are readily available off the shelves of supermarkets. However, one of our favourites remain Soup Restaurant’s Samsui Ginger Sauce. They claim to retain the Chinatown Heritage Cuisine in their sauce recipe, which is probably the reason for its irresistible taste. Want something more than just for poultry and fish, visit their outlets, supermarkets or online e-commerce platforms to get your hands on Samsui Sambal Sauce or Samsui XO Sauce.

Gorgeous one-of-a-kind jewellery
Beautiful EDEN + ELIE is a socially conscious jewellery brand based in Singapore. They jewellery pieces, inspired by heritage, hand make all their pieces. We particularly adore the Modern Peranakan series which feature intricately woven Peranakan-inspired floral patterns in contemporary pastels.
