If you haven’t done your Christmas shopping - maybe because you were wondering how to buy the perfect gifts - you should definitely mark down 12 December in your calendar.
Making up the holy trifecta of online shopping mega-sales, (together with Single’s Day on 11 November and Black Friday Weekend sale from 25 to 27 November) the 12.12 sale is another great opportunity to earn discounts, savings and cashback while doing your shopping.
Here’s a run-down of the deals we know of so far. As always, we’ll keep this page updated with more details as we find them, so remember to check back often!

In the run-up to 12.12, Shopback is having a 12 Days of Christmas-type deal, with one particular product each day earning you S$12 Super Cashback per transaction. Yep that’s S$12, not 12%!

Grab all your Charles & Keith favourites on 12 December and you’ll automatically save 10%. That’s because the fast fashion retailer is having a flat 10% off all regular items at its online store.
While it may not be as fun as a sale with deep discounts on selected items, a flat discount model means that everything is that much cheaper. This benefits you whether you’re shopping for just a few items, or going for a whole new look.
How to Make the Most of It
Look out for any articles of clothing that you have been eyeing - the 10% discount may just put them within reach of your budget.

5. Cotton On - 40% off all Online Items
Cotton On is back at it again, with another sitewide sale at a generous 40% off! With a discount like that, it’s hard not to be tempted, especially when you consider that you can find not only everyday fast fashion, but also active wear, footwear, stationery and arts and crafts supplies.
How to Make the Most of It
If you haven’t already. Consider doing all your Christmas shopping at Cotton On on 12 December. With the wide variety of items on offer, the chances of finding something for everyone on your list is high.
Worried about shipping fees? Don’t be, because Cotton On applies free shipping automatically when your order exceeds S$50. This is great for buying multiple items at one go, especially with the 40% discount.
6. Ezbuy - 12.12 Exclusive Sale, up to 70% off
You already know that you can buy virtually anything at Ezbuy, so if you’ve been wanting to go looking for offers, 12 December is probably the best time to do it.
You see, Ezbuy is offering a sample of its Prime service, which gives you unlimited shipping at S$2.99. And when you remember that you can buy anything through Ezbuy - from a crock pot to sofa sets to an entire bedroom wardrobe - re-decorating your home for Chinese New Year suddenly doesn’t seem that far-fetched an idea.
But how do you navigate the complicated transactions that come with the myriad merchants hawking their wares? What if you don't know Chinese? Ezbuy has got you covered in that aspect as well - the site is waiving all Agent Fees just for 12 and 13 December.
Oh yeah; the site is also offering discounts of up to 70% off.

Once you’re done shopping, Ezbuy will take over on your behalf, communicating with the seller to check on the availability, quantity and condition of your order before delivering it off to you.
This service is typically chargeable - but not on 12 and 13 December - so hurry and take advantage of it!
One last thing: shop with a Maybank credit card, to get a further 10% off your total bill, no minimum purchase required! While you’re at it, we suggest the Maybank Visa Infinite Card, for 2 air miles per S$1 spent on overseas transactions.

Good ole NTUC is joining the online mega-sale bandwagon with their 12.12 promotion. From 12 to 14 December, you can get your groceries at up to 50% discount when you shop at the online store.

How to Make the Most of It
The convenience of online shopping comes from not having to physically go down to the store yourself. Usually, in exchange, you pay a delivery fee to get your goods sent to your home.
But not for today; NTUC will provide free shipping (worth S$7.49 to S$10.70) as long as your checkout is more than S$80. Just use the code 1212 at checkout.
