Why not check out these places around Singapore where you can get cheap and beautiful Christmas decorations!

At Daiso, everything goes for $2, so be prepared to feel a very strong inclination to splurge the moment you step in the store. Their “everything for $2” rule applies to their Christmas decorations as well, with things like stockings and ornaments going for $2. Whether all of these Christmas decorations are worth the $2 is up to your discretion though, as there are some really good deals, and some items that are really small and don’t really look like they live up to the $2 price tag.
