10 places to buy cheap Christmas decorations in Singapore

There may not be any snow in Singapore, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still feel like a winter wonderland during the Christmas season.

To pull that off, though, you’ll need to unleash your inner artist and spruce up your home up with festive decals and decorations. 

Don’t worry about blowing your budget with an actual tree though.

There’s plenty of artificial ones out there with much more reasonable price tags or, better still, turn your house plant into a Christmas tree and decorate it to make it an eco-friendly Merry Christmas. 

In fact, it is possible to snag trinkets, tinsel and other Christmas-themed tchotchkes and figurines for less than a dollar.

Here’s the lowdown on where to go for the cheapest Christmas decorations in Singapore.
