It’s no secret that us Singaporeans love Daiso. Everything at just $2 each! Browsing the aisles is a great way to pass the time, and usually you’ll come across all kinds of little trinkets and treasures! Before long, you’ll end up with a basket full of things you need (and don’t). It’s easy to get carried away when Daiso carries around 5,000 items, so we’re bringing you the top eight products from Daiso Singapore that are most worth your $2.
1. Make Up Brush Cleaner
I’ve been using Daiso’s Make Up Brush Cleaner for years now and let me tell you, it is one of the best brush cleaners out there, if not the best. It’s easy, convenient and works just as well as other more expensive brands. Unsurprisingly, at just $2, this is one of the Daiso Singapore items that has gained a cult following.
2. Heat sealer
We love chips – but only when they are fresh and crispy! Can’t finish your bag of chips and worried it’s gonna go lao hong? This $2 heat sealer from Daiso Singapore will reseal your bag of chips, ensuring they’re airtight and fresh until you next open them.
3. Melamine sponge
A product my mom swears by, these melamine sponges are also known as magic erasers. How ‘magic’ are they, you ask? They act like a porous, super-fine sandpaper that scrap off dirt stains with just water! Daiso has them in different sizes, from large ones to clean a big area, or small cubes for getting into nooks and crevices.
4. Tohato Caramel Corn
Everyone’s favourite snack from Daiso is hands down the Tohato Caramel Corn. It comes in a cheerful, bright red bag, and the cocoon-like puff has a light, airy interior. The taste of caramel is fragrant but not overly sweet, making it an addictive snack great for any time of day.
5. Glass lunch boxes
If your new year’s resolution includes saving money as well as the environment, then make sure to pick up one of these Daiso’s heat-resistant glass lunch boxes. They’re available in two different sizes and are great for takeaways. Not to mention, your mom will finally be able to stop nagging about how plastic lunch boxes are bad for you…
6. Dehumidifier
One of Daiso’s bestsellers, their dehumidifiers are great for refreshing up musty spaces like storerooms, shoe cabinets and wardrobes. And they cost less than other brands out there. For places that need a little extra deodorising, go for the charcoal version. The normal version is great for places like wardrobes, while the fragranced versions impart a nice scent to your spaces while absorbing extra moisture.
7. Washing machine cleaner
We use the washing machine to keep our clothes clean, but it’s not often that we actually think about cleaning the washing machine. Over time, dirt and residue gather within the machine, causing mould and mildew to grow. If your clothes aren’t coming out fresh or there’s a stench emanating from your machine, chances are it probably needs a good clean! Daiso’s washing machine cleaner requires no scrubbing. Simply fill your machine, put in the cleaner powder, let it dissolve and sit for at least two hours, then run the cycle and flush everything out.
8. Plant pots and vases
If you’re a plant mom or dad, then you certainly know that plant pots and vases don’t always come cheap. Thankfully, at Daiso you can get them at just $2, and they come in really pretty colours and designs too! They also have larger planters and pots for bigger plants, just in case you have plenty of space to grow your own indoor garden (lucky you!)
