Shopping is like the best kind of cardio and Boutiques Singapore: The Gifting Edition is the main event I tell my family I'm training for all year. Luckily, you can break up your shopping spree over three days, and it's perfectly timed to get your holiday shopping sorted in one weekend. With Boutiques returning to the F1 Pit Building from 22 to 24 November, here's a look at 10 new offerings to know about before you go!
#1 Choose to reuse
As delicious as Singapore's takeaway options are, it always feels wrong at the end of the day when I have to throw out any singleuse plastics. This was the idea that led a Singapore-German husband-and-wife duo to create Kupaa. In short, you can use your Kūpaa Bowl to store your takeaways. It's reusable, health-conscious, collapsible, made with food-grade silicone, safe for hot food items, microwaveable, fine for the freezer and dishwasher-safe. It can also be purchased with a carrier - and at Boutiques they have a new pink bowl and carrier set that I'll definitely be checking out!
So far, this product has kept an estimated 694,200 singleuse plastic containers and bags out of landfill. What's more, one percent of every purchase assists Handprint with cleanup projects in Bintan. This is one of the reasons why Kūpaa is a Boutiques Showcase Grant recipient - an initiative that seeks to support businesses for their original, creative and innovative work.
