Are quirky accessories, bags, and stationery supplies your jam? Then check out Public Garden, where independent makers from all over Asia will show off their wares. (Since it’ll take place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, this is the perfect place to hunt down some last-minute stocking stuffers!)

“Not your usual Christmas market because there is nothing Christmassy about this market,” the Japanese patisserie joked on Instagram.
But hey, it’s the perfect place to buy Christmas gifts for your loved ones. Think high-quality Japanese knives (get these for the chef in your life!), pottery from Omelet Trees Studio, and even a letterbox for you to submit letters to the elderly.

Flor, 53 Upper East Coast Road
