#1 The House of Lili – photo frames and elegant homeware

The House of Lili has a new collection of handcrafted pieces, including this scalloped marble photo frame and coordinating coasters, alongside some understated travertine homewares, each with its own unique colour, veining and texture.

#2 Layard Interiors – glassware and linen napery

Layard Interiors has plenty of new pieces for the season that make fun gift ideas in Singapore for anyone who loves entertaining. These include fresh colours in its linen napery, a new decanter and gin glasses, plus fabulous stacking fish glasses – perfect with their much-loved Gluggle Jugs.

#3 Strait Lights – statement souvenirs

The Heirloom Candle by Strait Lights is handpoured into blue-and-white porcelain, scented with bergamot tea and with a dragon motif symbolising protection and good fortune. After 60 hours of use, you’re left with a gorgeous keepsake.

#4 Elyse & I – gift ideas with a Singapore twist

For little gifts that are hard to resist, Elyse & I’s new wallets and charms are made from leftover leather scraps and include a Chilli Crab theme. The brand has also collaborated with A Raft of Otters colleague Fleur Kakasi on a striking 100 percent silk twilly scarf featuring lobster watercolours and spots and stripes.

#5 Fleur Kakasi – Singapore-inspired tea towels

Fleur Kakasi’s Blue Moon Shophouse Tea Towel features her watercolour illustration of a 1902 Singapore shophouse in Duxton Hill. It’s a great souvenir for framing or for practical use in the kitchen.
