Where to Buy 2025 CNY Decorations For As Low As S$0.88

Dress your apartment up in hues of red for the Lunar New Year and prepare for a year of wealth and good luck without forking out a fortune on decorations.

It's that time of the year again where it's socially acceptable to deck out your home in all manner of gaudy Chinese New Year decorations - mostly in red and gold, of course! But since such decorations will only be put up for a month or so (most certainly not as permanent fixtures; these are afterall only paper decorations not built to last), it's not worth burning a hole in your pocket just to impress at house visits and reunion dinners.  

To that end, we’ve done the legwork for you and dug up the best boutiques for traditional, contemporary and quirky Chinese New Year accessories; of which, some decoration pieces even go for as low as S$0.88. (Ah, the beauty of online e-commerce!)

Without further ado, here is the auspicious guide to shopping for affordable CNY ornaments, figurines, couplets and wall hangings in Singapore 2025.

Overview: Where to get cheap CNY decorations in Singapore 2025

1. Give Fun

At Give Fun, they offer loads of adorable hanging Chinese New Year accessories and decor to deck your corridors with tasteful flashes of red.

Their catalogue is nothing short of versatile and impressive, ranging from decor pieces like Foil Paper Tassel Garlands (S$6.90), Plum Blossom Paper Lanterns (S$4.50) to a Jumbo Red Latex Balloons (S$169) that stands at an impressive 2 meters tall.

For those looking to go all out, let the God of Fortune grace your reunion dinners with their CNY Balloon Dome – 财神爷 福兔贺岁 God of Fortune & Confetti (S$59.90) with the deity himself sitting within topped with an LED string light.

But if that's not enough, their CNY-Themed Standing Organic Balloon Garland (S$179) or Mahjong Inspired Balloons Bouquet  (S$52.90) should be sufficiently extravagant.

Pump up the fun factor for your guests with individual Foil Balloon Headbands in CNY themes such as Gold Ingots or God of Wealth – from just S$1 each!

2. Daiso

Known as the Japanese dollar store equivalent, Singaporean bargain hunters are no strangers to Daiso – so it makes sense that many of us enjoy doing our CNY shopping there as well. Just note that given the Japanese chain's roots, their interpretations of CNY decorations differ slightly.

With most items priced humbly at a mere S$2.18, you can get your hands on all sorts of CNY goodies like feng shui piggy banks, hanging wall decorations, tapestries, decorative wreaths and more. 

Perhaps the best thing about shopping at Daiso for your CNY decorations is that you’ll also find traditional Japanese items and knick knacks that are also associated with fortune, abundance and other traditional well-wishes. 

One such highlight this year is the delightful Kagami Mochi, a traditional Japanese standing decoration featuring rice cake adorned with CNY decorations, said to bless the coming year. 

There’s also a Miniature Pine Tree display set featuring imitation pine blossoms, a symbol of new beginnings in Japanese culture.

3. FairPrice

When it comes to all your CNY needs, you can't go wrong with FairPrice. Besides all your essential CNY snacks, this local favourite supermarket also stocks a plethora of decorative items.

You've got the classic pieces like pineapple felt stickers (S$1.80), Chinese knot hanging decorations (S$3.80), and a generous collection of festive plants including orchids, pussy willow bamboo to jazz up your home.

4. Shopee

By now, the e-commerce giant, Shopee, should be top of mind for many Singaporeans looking for cheap and abundant CNY decorations. Just a simple query search for "Chinese New Year decoration" reveals hundreds of CNY product listings from decorative lanterns for S$8.71 to elegant Chinese tassels for S$0.98 to and even CNY-themed tissue paper boxes for S$0.70. 

Basically what we're saying is: on Shopee, the CNY decoration options are aplenty and the prices stay locked low.

💡 Pro-tip: Always check back the 'daily vouchers' tab and 'free shipping vouchers' tab to snag cashback and waived shipping fee vouchers.

And also, if possible, check out your cart on the appointed 'Bank of the Day' if you have a relevant bank's credit card to use. For example, the 'Bank of the Day' for Thursday is DBS.

5. CGS Party

CGS Party (Chin Giap Soon) is a homegrown retailer of party products with a long-established history. It was one of the original stall owners at Blanco Court – which used to be the de facto HQ for such products – and has since moved on to other locations, including its latest location at Tanjong Katong. 

What you’ll find here is no shortage of party supplies and decorations, especially if you click on the Chinese New Year tab on their website. You can pick up items such as hanging garlands (from S$5), LED Gold Coin Money Tree (S$29.80), Fortune Cat Tabletop Display Set (S$33.80) and more!

For more efficient browsing, use the drop-down list in the upper-right to discover the full range of CNY-themed products and decorations, including hanging lights and LEDs, soft toys, garlands and wall couplets to usher in the festive cheer.

6. SKP

You may know SKP as that store you run to when NTUC runs out of paper plates, but they also have a pretty decent selection of cheap CNY decorations on offer. 

Head over to their website and you’ll be greeted with the familiar sight of red-and-gold-themed decorations, all ready to be put up all over your home. Choose from wall stickers, hanging decorations, window decals, gift bags and zodiac-themed items.

Complete your CNY preparations with the store’s selection of red packets – available in long and short formats – as well as its collection of gaily decorated orange gift bags.

Note that many of its CNY items are sold in bundles of 10, which means things end up cheap on a per-item basis. If you don’t need quite that many, sharing with your neighbours or relatives is a good way to prevent wastage and spread the savings around.
