Clothes and Accessories
Handcrafted earrings
Rouge Trinkets is a Singapore-based brand that supplies handmade earrings uniquely designed by their very own founder, Melinda.

Handcrafted using polymer clay, these whimsical earrings present a quirky mix of vibrant colours, geometric shapes and abstract patterns to form out-of-the-ordinary accessories that will easily complement any outfit!
Temporary tattoos
Established in 2016, the founder of Tippytats was motivated by the aim of bringing the expression of speech alive as she hopes that her buyers will be able to freely express themselves through the use of temporary tattoos.
Tippytats therefore offers tattoos of various designs from floral to geometric, motivational quotes and even cute animals – you name it, they have it! And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, simple send in an inquiry as they do take in customisation requests to cater to your artistic preferences. Other than being able to stick these temporary tattoos on your skin, you may also choose to stick them on your stationery or laptop.
Life is boring, so why not spice it up by adding a bit of colour with Tippytats’s temporary tattoos! Quote “Tippytats10” for a 10% discount with minimum spending of $15.

Picnic Set-up
The Duo Planner is a picnic setup business started by a group of individuals who find joy in making unforgettable memories for couples and families. The idea dawned on them when they were traveling in Burleigh Heads, Australia where they chanced upon bespoke and Insta-worthy picnic setups and thought, “Hey, why not bring this idea back home and do our own version of it?”.
There and then, a business idea was born, with a strong emphasis on aesthetic appeal coupled with a strong belief that a picnic is more than a picnic; it’s a place where memories are made.
