Founded in 1995, the lifestyle brand is beloved for its budget-friendly collection of quirky homeware, party supplies, offbeat games, and colourful stationery. Think of it as the cute-meets-clever Scandi cousin to Daiso, with a touch of Ikea aesthetics. After exploring the maze-like store, here are my top tips on what’s worth buying.

Products worth buying at Flying Tiger Copenhagen in Singapore
1. Stationery and notebooks: Cheerful journals, pens, and planners
Put a pep in your step with the merry selection of stationery, including a cute build-your-own pen kit where you can customise the look. Want an inspirational notebook with a throwback 2000s vibe? You’ll find plenty at Flying Tiger Copenhagen stamped with sayings like “fake it till you make it” ($6).
For more motivation, look to journals like “1000 days, 1000 lines” or “One line a day” ($9 each) to pen down your thoughts. It’s like Smiggle, but adults are also welcome to join in the fun. Little ones will love the colourful array of animal-themed pens, unicorn-shaped pencil boxes, milkshake highlighters ($5), and notebooks studded with charms ($10). P.S. there’s even a calculator-notebook hybrid ($10)!
2. For the kids: Wacky toys, beach play items, and entertaining games
Love sports? It’s fuss-free to do all that at home with the store’s collection of kid-friendly products. Get a floating basketball set ($24), bowl down adorable ice cream-shaped pins ($18), challenge your family to table tennis with strawberry print paddles ($24), or play LED badminton ($18).
For more hands-on activities, try the make-your-own ukulele set ($18) or get a mini claw machine ($55) so you can stop spending dollars at the arcade for no return. Other toys on display include soap bubble machines ($15), sand brick sets ($6), and shark-shaped water guns ($12).
3. Homeware: Vibrant designs and affordable kitchenware
This smaller section is giving Ikea, but with an explosion of colour. When life gives you lemons, buy the cute print on cushions ($24), tea lights ($4), serving trays ($6), and tablecloths ($22). Bonus points if you keep in theme with orange-shaped plushie door stoppers ($8) and drinking glasses ($4)! These playful items will chase away any gloomy day.
On the practical side, the store also sells handy kitchen gadgets like scraping spatulas ($7), vegetable slicers ($6), tongs ($3), milk foamer whisks ($9), and wine bottle openers ($7).

4. Crafts and activity kits: From embroidery to crochet
Love crafts but never found the time to start? Pick up easy beginner kits here. Try an adult colouring session with the DIY tote bag series ($6) featuring creatures like dinosaurs and unicorns. Or reminisce about the 90s with a nostalgic scrapbook ($12).
Embroidery kits ($9) are a soothing way to spend a weekend afternoon if you’re the type who loves to cuddle on the couch on a rainy day. You can also try crocheting cute figures like popcorn buckets ($6) and donuts ($6).
5. Wellness and beauty: For travel, sleep, and fitness
The self-care section is tiny, but if you ever need to pick up items like eyelash curlers ($7), travel toothbrushes ($2), compression packing bags ($10), and reusable travel bottles ($7), you know where to go. Also spotted: moisturising sheet masks with hyaluronic acid for $5.
For those whose home workout collection needs sprucing up, Flying Tiger Copenhagen has products like gym balls ($24), yoga blocks ($18), and resistance hand trainer weights ($6). To help you wind down at night, throw sleeping masks ($9), scalp massagers ($7), and cucumber cooling eye patches ($7) into your shopping basket.

If you can’t resist a pop of colour or a splash of cheer, Flying Tiger Copenhagen’s Singapore store will call out to you. These may not be things you need, but you’ll certainly want them. Case in point: pineapple-shaped ice lolly moulds ($9). Or hot pink beach towel clips ($7).
It’s great for inexpensive birthday gifts, too. Got a nephew’s birthday coming up? The shark sand grabber might do the trick. There’s even an Elsa-inspired costume accessory set for just $9. Or, perhaps a monthly planner ($12) for that friend who always forgets meet-up dates.
For that fun-loving colleague, a mini tabletop basketball ($10) or pool table ($14) game will keep them entertained. Wrap it all up with colourful paper and add a greeting card from the store as the finishing touch.
