Boutiques Singapore is returning to the F1 Pit Building from 20 to 22 November 2026 with The Gifting Edition 2026, bringing together more than 300 local and international brands for three days of design-led shopping, exclusive launches, and creative experiences. But this is more than your average festive market. Expect everything from handcrafted homewares and sculptural jewellery to skincare, childrenswear, and thoughtful little finds you’ll be tempted to keep for yourself.

One of the biggest drawcards this year is the Singapore Design Gift Store, a curated showcase celebrating local creativity in collaboration with DesignSingapore Council. Brought together by designers Priscilla Tan of Supermama and Clara Yee of Magicfruit, the space features emerging design collectives including Just A Band Of Creatives, Observation House, and PRINTCENTRE. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for the record-number recipients of the Boutiques Showcase Grant, which supports up-and-upcoming Singaporean creatives. Among them are WASTD, making its direct-to-consumer debut with a limited-edition candle and an exclusive mini wall sconce, Kii Workshop who’s showcasing handcrafted woodworked furniture and a new range of home audio speakers, as well as Issho Labo, with their whimsical mix of handmade ceramics and 3D-printed objects.

Of course, half the fun is discovering brands you haven’t come across before. This edition welcomes a fresh roster of international labels, including Austrian-founded Atelier 88, making its first Singapore retail appearance with their European tableware, as well as Indonesian fragrance house Scents OF PLTO, which will debut two exclusive scents inspired by Asian ingredients. Meanwhile, homegrown favourites have plenty of newness in store, too. Singapore-born label Tow Tow will unveil its first System Collection, with interchangeable straps, pouches, hardware, and charms that let you build a bag around your own style, while children’s brand Sea Apple celebrates its 10th anniversary with The Sea Apple Hotel, a playful boutique hotel-inspired collection brought to life through an immersive booth of personalisation.

When you need a break from browsing, there’s plenty to keep you occupied as well. GOFY is putting a playful spin on gift wrapping with its “Naughty or Nice” concept, offering artist-designed wrapping paper and matching gift cards in exchange for a minimum $10 donation to one of five charity partners. You can also join artist-led workshops, drop by Aura Obscura for a colourful aura portrait, or book a 15-minute massage with Hideaway, the bathhouse concept from New Bahru. Families can even look forward to hands-on activities at the expanded kids’ drop-off area, including candle making and recyclable weaving. 

And because shopping is hungry work, the food lineup is worth a look in its own right. Grab ice cream parfaits from Arc-en-ciel Patisserie, African-inspired food and coffee from KAFE UTU, or Michelin Guide-listed gelato from Birds of Paradise. Cheeselads will even dish up indulgent bites like baked camembert and grilled cheese sandwiches at The Garage Cafe, while Mahmud’s Tandoor brings its homegrown Pakistani-Indian favourites to the table.

There’s also a feel-good side to the festivities, with social-impact initiatives including handmade crochet creations by women participating in Yellow Ribbon Project’s Art Behind Bars programme, jewellery and customisable bead creations by artists with disabilities at ART:DIS Studio, and puzzles featuring the perspectives of neurodivergent artists from A Piece of Mine Puzzles.

So, whether you’re hunting for a thoughtful present, looking to support independent designers or simply keen to spend an afternoon discovering something new, Boutiques Singapore’s The Gifting Edition is one to add to your November calendars.
