From M&M’S that won a cruise and more —here are our 2025 best buys

by Alexis Lee

As 2025 comes to a close, we’ve shared many events and deals available, from limited-edition merchandise to 12.12 mega sales. After a year-long journey of finding daily deals and hidden gems, here’s what our team and readers shared as their best buys in 2025! 

How to Train Your Dragon Orchestra Concert Tickets

A classic movie for those born in the 2000s, the orchestral performance will be making its way to Singapore in 2026. The top pick by our marketing team member, the tickets were surprisingly tough to get due to them selling out almost immediately!

Mat: “I’ve always been looking forward to the soundtrack ‘Test Drive’, and am even more enthusiastic to hear the live instrumental soon. One special thing about the concert is how the soundtracks will be played alongside the projected movie, so it’ll be a comfortable theatre and concert hall experience at the same time.”

M&M’S Holiday Sure-Win Joy Box

M&M’S, a globally beloved confectionery, makes the perfect gift for any snack enthusiast. However, it isn’t just the chocolate alone that makes it our best buy of the year, but the major giveaway that got us craving for more.

Take it from one of our readers, Tessly, an adult educator at a first-aid training school, who won a 4D3N Ovation of the Seas Cruise to Penang by Royal Caribbean. Originally buying it as a simple treat for her family this Christmas, they ended up unboxing the surprise of a lifetime.

Tessly: “My family and I were shopping for groceries, and we saw the fancily wrapped M&M’S gift box and decided to get it because it looked a lot like a blind box. We were actually filming a fun little unboxing video, and first unboxed a 50% off Mars Wrigley TikTok Shop discount voucher, expecting the same for the second box. We never thought that we’d get a cruise instead. After receiving my prize confirmation, my friends started buying the boxes in hopes of getting similar prizes.” 

Another grand winner of the M&M’S Holiday Sure-Win frenzy, Bernard Ong, tried his luck after receiving a pack of the M&M’S Holiday Sure-Win Joy Box from his son. Ong’s son had only bought the box after seeing his friend take part in the M&M’S Festive Sure-Win Campaign and winning a Sony headset. In hopes of a prize just as good, the reward of a massage chair on the Ong family’s first attempt exceeded all expectations.

Bernard’s Son: “Apart from the prizes, the chocolates in the box were the added incentive to give it a try. After winning the massage chair, I posted the win to my friends, and they also bought several boxes to try it out! After I got the massage chair, I was so excited that I bought another 10 boxes. While I didn’t receive another big prize like the massage chair again, I received many vouchers to buy more of my favourite Mars Wrigley Treats in the future.” 

Dyson 

The dream set of every girl with long hair, the Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ Multi-styler and Dryer, is now our marketing lead’s go-to before attending media events. With almost every attachment included, the Multi-styler embodied the term “a jack of all trades”

Yan: Ever since getting it, it has become a must-use tool for whenever I get ready for events. Although pricier than most of my vanity products, I don’t regret buying it at all! I recently spotted the Dyson Sonic Hairdryer Set in the M&M’S Christmas Festive Sure-Win giveaway, so now I’m tempted to try my luck. 

JisuLife 

The Singaporean MVP of 2025, the JisuLife fan certainly made its mark on us, combating the heat waves that came our way. Our videographer shares his huge passion towards the mini fan.

Radhi: I bring the fan with me everywhere, and my coworkers keep stealing it to get a quick breeze. I hope that everyone can get themselves a good fan this year, because I don’t think Singapore will be cooling down anytime soon. Since the team keeps taking mine, I’ve been buying them chocolate after learning about the M&M’S giveaway from Yan. For all we know, we might win a massage chair instead of the prized fan we were aiming for.

Vivienne Westwood 

Picked by our fashionista in the marketing team, the Vivienne Westwood Man Franklin Skull Pendant Necklace topped the rest of her fashion purchases this year. This Vivienne Westwood necklace was an accessory she felt not only portrayed her personality, but also served as a memory of her adulthood milestones.

Nicole: Since this came from my hard-earned money, I bought it with zero regrets. Since it is Vivienne Westwood (one of her favourite brands) after all, and this was one of the rare silver products they had. When I saw this piece, I knew it was the perfect way to commemorate my 21st

By the looks of our team’s favourites, one thing is clear—it seems that our team has lived by the deals we post, as well as become M&M’S maniacs, trying to win more prizes from the Festive Sure-Win giveaway. If you’re a chocolate lover, the M&M’S Holiday Sure-Win Joy Box is a must-buy treat.
