Beauty Products
(1) Puff for makeup removal
This puff is said to remove makeup with cold or warm water alone! Even if you still prefer to use a makeup remover, you can do your part for Mother Earth with Daiso’s eco-friendly puff and bid goodbye to single-use cotton pads.
(2) Nail art stamp
For those who love to design your own nails, Daiso’s nail art stamp makes it easy even for those who are clumsy with your hands. The sponge with a holder lets you do colour gradient on your nails, taking your nail art game up another notch.
(3) Refillable tube with brush or sponge roller
Daiso’s latest release, this refillable tube lets you easily squeeze and apply makeup on your skin. It comes with a brush or a sponge roller, catering to different needs and preferences. Pro tip: when filling the tube, press the bottle to prevent overflows. Check out a demo of the refillable tube here.
Food & Drinks
(4) Coffee candy
Need a perk-me-up during work or study? Try Daiso’s milky coffee candies with cappuccino and caramel flavours, or a mix of cappuccino and espresso.
(5) Ito En tea
Quench your thirst with two bottles of quality Ito En tea at just $2.18 at Daiso. There are even three types to choose from: the original green tea, genmaicha (roasted rice tea) and the newly added houjicha (roasted green tea). Not a fan of tea? Get your hands on some apple juice, banana milk, or coffee instead.
(6) Meiji cup ice cream
Beat the heat with Meiji cup ice cream that comes in five different flavours: chocolate, vanilla, matcha, butter sandwich and lemon rare cheesecake. As Daiso offers one of, if not the most competitive price for this ice cream, there’s no reason why you should get it elsewhere!
Hobby & Craft
(7) Washi tape and storage
If you love washi tape and are itching to get more, Daiso offers a wide range of designs. It even has a stackable storage to keep all your washi tapes organised.
(8) Scratch art sheet
Move aside, adult colouring book! Try scratch art for a relaxing and de-stressing session. Daiso has many patterns available with each set containing two to four scratch art sheets. You can either scratch along the lines to create a colourful outline or go further by scratching across the surface like how you do colouring.
(9) Collection box (stair type)
Whether you’re a collector of figurines, models or gacha (capsule machine) items, you cannot do without Daiso’s collection box. It is not only a fun way to display your loots, but also great for organising your collections.
Household Items

These soft cushions are like Muji’s but at a fraction of the price ($9.59) at Daiso! You can choose between the fluffy and velvety cushion, available in four colours (grey, brown, pink, blue), or the grey cool-touch cushion.
(11) Magic sponge
Daiso’s magic sponge, which is actually a melamine sponge, helps you effortlessly remove dirt and smudges. Best used on porcelain surfaces, it only needs water to do its job. No more scrubbing when you want to get rid of coffee or tea stains on your cups!
