In just a little over two weeks, Singapore will be celebrating her 53rd birthday.
And if you're feeling a little salty about not snagging the coveted National Day Parade tickets or perhaps cannot relate to getting in touch with your patriotic side by feasting on local delights (because you've been doing so every day), then why not display your Singapore pride by bagging up some of these locally-inspired lifestyle products!

Lifestyle stores like Megafash and Naiise have also helped bring these artists to prominence. So embrace your patriotic spirit and bring back fond memories of your time in Singapore when you get your hands on some creations that pay homage to our great nation:
