2 – Beer Making Kit
Have a friend that loves craft beer? Do they obsess over it and want to try every single new brew that they can find? Get them their own beer making kit so that they can try their hand at brewing their very own beer. Yes, this is legal in Singapore.

5 – Bar10der
For the budding bartenders out there, this awesome Swiss Army Knife style tool has everything you need to mix your own drinks at home or anywhere, all in a compact package. If you want a fruit cocktail, use the muddler to crush the fruit and the reamer to juice them. To measure the spirit, use the sprigger. Whatever you need to make a whole cocktail, there’s bound to be something to aid you in the process (alcohol, fruits and herbs not included!)

6 – USB Fridge
Know someone who may need a drink in the office? Or perhaps the pantry’s too far? Save all the trouble by getting one of these instead – All it needs is to be plugged into a USB port and it will keep the beverage cool until you drink it. Better yet, there’s no rule that says you need to store drinks in there. Chocolate bars fit nicely as well.

7 – Smartphone Projector
Movies and videos just aren’t as much fun on the small screen, and if you have company who wants to watch it too, this can be a problem as everyone would have to crowd around your electronic. This neat gadget solves that issue – all one has to do is pop their smartphone in the slot and point the projector at a wall, great for anyone that has a ton of videos or home videos on their phone.

An entertaining board game, hopefully even for those that hate marmite.
