Most of us would have spent the greater part of this year indoors or navigating the new changes 2020 has brought us. As we adjust to the “new normal”, we might have missed a few important occasions along the way. Whether it’s to find the perfect gift for a baby shower you couldn’t attend or simply to send a self-care box to let a friend know you’re thinking of them, this list of 8 online gift delivery services in Singapore will help you show your loved ones that they’re in your thoughts, even if you haven’t seen them IRL for a while.
In case you couldn’t throw a big birthday bash for your BFF, you can still send her a belated birthday gift. Happy Bunch Singapore has gifts for any occasion, including Christmas, anniversaries, and, of course, birthdays.
If you can’t settle on just 1 gift to send to your friend, try its Build-a-box service. Choose between products like face masks, reusable mugs and candles to be delivered in a decorated box starting from $15. Upgrade to a Luxe box for fancier options like solid colognes or rose gold jewellery. Only the best for your best friend, right?
For last-minute warriors who are in a rush to send your friend a gift before their birthday is over, Happy Bunch offers same-day delivery in Singapore as well.

Back in April and May, it was graduation season here in Singapore. But because it was also the Circuit Breaker period, this year’s batch of polytechnic and university graduates did not get to have a ceremony. Friends or family members attending the event usually present the graduate with bouquets of flowers or, if they are in a joking mood, a broccoli bouquet. Well, it’s not too late to celebrate your friend’s big achievement.
Instead of getting a classic bouquet, an artificial terrarium makes for a cute display item on her shelf to remind her of her accomplishment. This way, she won’t need to worry about having to take care of her new decorative piece. After years of hard work and studying, she might appreciate 1 less project to head by herself. Customise the message on the side of the terrarium and personalise it with her name or nickname.

The hampers contain items that new mums would definitely appreciate, like diapers and baby wipes, or cups and bottles for their little ones to use. Its basic bundle costs $75, but if you top up a few more dollars, there are also items like onesies and shoes for the child.
