Say hello to the latest viral craze sweeping the Internet — Teh Ping earrings. A charming and wacky way to hang bags of miniature drinks from your ears.

Since the festive season is rolling around, we trawled the internet for other adorable local trinkets you can gift your friends.

1. Teh ping earrings

Since S-Hook Jie‘s S-hook shirt seems to be sold out, here’s another way for you to show your teh pride.

You can even choose your beverage of choice, from Milo, Teh-O to Bandung or Kopi.

4. Summon Auntie Lego figurine

Lego-maniacs among us will agree that building imaginary worlds is a more engaging past-time for children than watching Baby Shark on loop.

You can even customise the name of the designated ‘Summon Auntie’ in your clique of friends.

Or get a badass couple set for soon-to-be bride and groom as an adorable wedding present.

Just in case you need inspiration for all the festive gifts you’re gonna shower upon your colleagues, classmates, friends and family.

Going hyperlocal is a safe choice — we’ll pop in one last surprise with this Iced Gem Tin tote bag we found.

Change it up a little this year from that typical ceramic mug. Simply think big by going a lot smaller.
