1. Embroidery Kits

Embroidery, simply put, is using needle and thread to embellish and decorate cloth.

Traditionally, embroidery was used to tell stories. Now, it’s a fun way to decorate clothes, bags, or make wall art.

With the Stitch-a-Tote™: Northwoods (US$32/S$43.50) embroidery kit from Heidi Boyd, try your hand at embroidery and get a cute embroidered tote bag once you’re done!

The kit comes with everything you might need for the project – including a tote bag, embroidery floss, needles and an embroidery hoop.

2. Candle Making Kit 

Candles can be a great home decoration tool. Not only do candles make a room smell great, they’re also a cute room decoration.

If you want to try your hand at candle making, check out this beginners kit from Candle Science. Their Soy Candle Making Starter Kit (US$31.43) is available in their Fall/Holiday scents, and is a great way to spend time with family while doing a fun activity. After all, TV and board games are bound to get a little boring after a while.

Each kit makes up to 6 small 8 oz candles, which means you can also give them as gifts. Unfortunately, Candle Science doesn’t ship to Singapore. We recommend using an international freight forwarder like comGateway, vPost or ezbuy’s ezShip .

3. Apres Gel X Nail Extension Kit

If you’re a beauty junkie who’s going into withdrawal, you can now get salon quality nail extensions from the comfort of your own home.

The Apres X Gel Extensions are famous for being easy to use and better for your nails than conventional nail extensions – they’re also used at plenty of higher end salons around Singapore!

Apres Nails sells a Gel-X Nail Extension Kit (US$142.49) that contains almost everything you need for the extensions.

Their best selling base and top coats, primers and extend gel are included, as well as a nail file, UV Lamp and a box of nail tips.

Don’t be intimidated by the price – the kit will last you many, many manicures so you’ll be sure to get your money’s worth.

4. DIY Bath Bomb Making Kit 

Bath bombs make relaxing in the bathtub just that much more aesthetically pleasing, don’t they? Drawing a bath is already pretty great – add in pastel purple water to soak your stresses away in and it’s a winning combination!

If you’re looking for something more than your run of the mill bath bombs, the Ultimate DIY Bath Bomb Making Kit (US$40) from Craftzee is probably right up your alley.

The kit includes more than the basics. Things like a variety of essential oils, rose petals and even gift bags if you’re making a thoughtful gift for someone special.

There are enough of the components to make several bath bombs, so don’t worry if you mess up on your first try.

Craftzee doesn’t ship to Singapore at the moment, so you need to use an international freight forwarder like comGatewa, vPost or ezbuy’s ezShip .

Circuit breaker means more of us are staying home and cooking our own meals. So why not make your own condiments as well?

Western hot sauce is a different beast compared to our Asian chilli sauce. Less sweet, tangier, and spicier, hot sauce is a great compliment to any finger food.

Now, you can make your own hot sauce exactly how you like it with Man Crates Hot Sauce Making Kit (US$79.99).

This kit is chock full of quality ingredients like Carolina Reaper Pepper Puree, (one of the spiciest peppers in the world) and comes with enough ingredients to make 3 bottles of your very own hot sauce.

ManCrate currently does not provide international shipping – so make sure to use an international freight forwarder like comGateway, vPost or ezbuy’s ezShip.
