1. Kitchen Chops
The Ultimate Cutting Board, US$149 (S$201), available from November at www.theultimatecuttingboard.com No mere chopping board, this multi-tasker comes with a slicer/ grater attachment, measuring cups, a citrus juicer and a drawer for stowing away knives. You can even detach the interlocking halves to get two beautiful maple serving boards.
2. Light Up Your Life
Lamp Mygdal (plant not included), available as a pendant or standing lamp, price upon request, from www.nui-studio.com Fancy this: a gorgeous, glass-blown statement lamp that doubles as a terrarium of sorts, no green thumb needed. The LED light enables photosynthesis, and the lamp is airtight, like a terrarium, so you never need to water the plant.
3 It’s Hot and It’s Cold
Golchi, US$44, from www.mygolchi.com Here is the tumbler to rule them all. The Golchi has three compartments: one to store milk powder or snacks, and two vacuum-insulated ones (325ml and 380ml) to hold your drinks. You can even use the latter as two separate bottles! There are also nifty blue and red indicators to help you remember if you’ve stored a cold or hot drink.
4. Super-soft Lips
Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oils, $36 each, from Clarins counters and www.clarins.com.sg These botanical cocktails with hazelnut and organic jojoba oils leave the lips soft and glossy without feeling sticky. Chapped, peeling puckers are instantly soothed and hydrated.
5. Flaunt It!
Mimi Flamingo Pink leather pumps, $110, from www.unveiledlust.com Who says comfortable shoes have to be boring? These adorable pumps make your outfit pop without hurting your feet.
6. Rub-a-dab-dab
Soap & Paper hand creams, $29 each, from www.surviveasia.com Stash these paraben- and phthalate-free hand creams in the office for when your mitts feel dry and parched from the air conditioning. The lovely scent of the smooth, velvety cream will perk you up on a sleepy afternoon too.
7. Antique Chic
Brass Arch Gate Hanger – Nero, $149, from Scene Shang This is such a chic way to organise your accessories. We love the contrast between the dark Nero Marquina marble base and the delicate brass-plated steel frame.
8. Clean Air for the Ride
Cado MP-C20U air purifier, call Massmark International, tel: 6747- 1102, for price and stockists.
