This year, if you're looking for something more meaningful than a material gift, gift your loved ones a fun experience! After all, special memories last for much longer than the latest gadget.

All gift experiences have 1-year expiry, so your loved ones can redeem them stress-free 😍 All gifts support local businesses, and are good for the planet 🌲

1

Immersive Street Theatre

This is perfect for your friends who love art and theatre. This is a one-of-its-kind experience in the heart of Little India, which we can only describe as part-street theatre, part-heritage trail.

Through their fantastical sets and clever multi-media storytelling, you'll be immersed in what life was like during the swinging 1960s era in Singapore with cabaret, tragedy, beauty and romance.

2

Let Loose with Graffiti

This is one of the most popular gift experiences, for good reason. You can bring your 4 year old niece or your 70 year old mum and they'll both love it (trust us - that's what we did!).

This graffiti art jam experience is a perfect gift for pretty much anyone, of any age. Here even the most artistically challenged people can go wild with a spray can, and express their inner Banksy. It's a great way to unplug from the week, and a super cool surprise for that special someone in your life.

Gin Tasting in the Dempsey Jungle

This is one of the more popular gifts for friends! Even if your friends don't love gin, we promise they'll enjoy this. It's a cool location, great value and a really fun way to spend the afternoon. At this gin tasting session, they'll get to smell gin ingredients and later identify them in the gins, try out homemade bitters (with cool flavours like Szechuan peppers and cinnamon), and get to taste a LOT of drinks.

It's great for both kids and adults.
