12.12 sales Singapore: all you need to know

When are the 12.12 sales?

The 12.12 sales are a yearly event that kick off from 12am SGT time on December 12, and typically finish up at 11.59pm that same day. Some retailers might start the sales a little early and keep them running for a few days after the official date, however this isn’t guaranteed.

What are the 12.12 sales?

As the final matching date in the calendar, the 12.12 sales close out the year as the final shopping event in a series of sales. Singapore has one of these sales just about every month, though the big ones to watch out for are the 9.9 sales in September, the 10.10 sales in October and especially the 11.11 Singles Day sales in November which kick off the holiday shopping season.

The 11.11 Singles Day shopping event is the original matching dates sale, with the other monthly sales having been spearheaded by the online marketplace Shopee throughout Singapore.

Is 12.12 bigger than 11.11?

The 11.11 Singles Day sales tend to be the biggest matching dates sale, as that shopping event is the one that kicks off a big shopping season that includes Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Meanwhile, the 12.12 sales are typically smaller, but you can still find a large number of retailers, including marketplaces such as Shopee, Lazada and Amazon, jumping into the event with some exclusive discounts.

What retailers participate in the 12.12 sales?

Just coming off Cyber Monday, most retailers aren’t advertising 12.12 sales just yet. Though, we can take a look at 2022 list to get an idea of what’s to come this December:

The top five tech deals throughout 2023

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio |from SG$1,999 at the Microsoft Store

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio | from SG$1,999 at the Microsoft Store (up to SG$650 in savings) 

During Black Friday, Microsoft discounted the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio, with up to SG$650 off depending on your configuration. This offer was a great chance to score on a nifty little 2-in-1 laptop, especially if you were after something that was portable without too many compromises on performance.

TCL C935 Mini LED TV SG$4,899SG$2,899 at Lazada

TCL C935 Mini LED TV | SG$4,899 SG$2,899 at Lazada (SG$2,000 off)

A massive SG$2,000 discount fell onto the TCL C935 this year, offering up this Mini LED TV for a much more reasonable price of SG$2,899. Between it's Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support plus a 144Hz variable refresh rate, this TV was a great offer if you were looking for an upgrade to your home entertainment setup or even for a gaming room.

PlayStation 5 (disc edition) SG$799SG$639 at Lazada

PlayStation 5 (disc edition) | SG$799 SG$639 at Lazada (SG$160 off)

Speaking of gaming, we saw a very rare discount on what we consider the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/best-consoles" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"">best gaming console in 2023. The PS5 came down by a decent SG$160 just ahead of the Black Friday sales, and we're hoping we'll see it on sale again for 12.12 or with even bigger discounts in 2024 now that the PS5 Slim is here.

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 SG$599SG$419 at Amazon

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 | SG$599 SG$419 at Amazon (SG$180 off)

Bose's Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are getting on in years now, so it's no surprise we saw discounts on these stylish cans throughout 2023. Still, a SG$180 discount was a solid bargain for a set of noise-cancelling headphones that pack in a very solid 20-hours of playtime between charges.

Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine CompleteSG$1,399SG$999 at Dyson

Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine Complete | SG$1,399 SG$999 at Dyson (SG$400 off)

Dyson's very first wet-dry vacuum arrived in 2023, and so did some big savings. Scoring a solid SG$400 in the last quarter of 2023, the Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine Complete came down to just under SG$1,000 – still a hefty purchase, but you're getting  mopping functionality from a cordless Dyson stick vacuum.
