Apple Park t-shirts come in eight colours, with only the white and black featuring a multi-colour ring. Each costs US$43.60 with tax, or US$34.88 with the Apple employee discount, available from the Apple Park Visitor Center store.
The Amazon Echo Show was recently discounted 30% to US$159.99, down from US$229.99. Like most Amazon products, it doesn't ship to Singapore directly, so I used HopShopGo. It's the bigger sibling of the Echo Spot.
B&H discounted the Nest Cam IQ Indoor to US$219, down from US$299, in March 2018. Applying a US$20 voucher from my Google Home Mini purchase, I paid US$199, shipping it to Singapore via freight forwarder HopShopGo.
The Cable Matters USB-C to SATA III 2.5-inch Cable retails for US$11.99 on Amazon. This 25cm cable connects 2.5-inch SATA hard drives to your computer over USB-C, supporting USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds to 5Gbps.
The igloohome Smart Mortise Lock is the brand's third door lock, after the Smart Deadbolt Lock 01 and 02. Priced higher because it includes both lock and handle, it retails for S$849, dropping to S$649 during the promotion.
My brother and I celebrated our 34th and 29th birthdays in Bali with our family, my first time there, in March 2018. The flights were essentially free, redeemed from S$500 Circles.Life travel vouchers.
The Belkin SurgeCube 1 Outlet Surge Protector with two shared 2.4A USB ports retails for S$59, discounted to S$39 at IT Show 2018. I'd wanted a UK plug adapter with USB charging and built-in surge protection.
The Logitech K375s Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard & Stand Combo retails for S$49, discounted to S$38 at IT Show 2018. It connects to three devices across Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, and iOS, via the Unifying receiver or Bluetooth.
After buying my first Logitech MX Master in April 2017, I grabbed two more in White and Navy. I sold the Navy and my White died after nine months, while my original still works. This covers the MX Master 2S.
The Evri 80W USB-C Charging Station retails for US$74.99 plus shipping to Singapore. Evri is the USB-C product range from OneAdaptr, the company behind the Kickstarter-funded Flip plugs. There are currently three products in the Evri lineup.
The Flip World Add-On retails for US$9.99 and includes US/AU and EU plug add-ons, compatible with the Flip Duo, Quad, and Power. I bought it to use with my Flip Quad, the prongs rotating to fit various regions.
After the Kickstarter success of the Flip British Plug, OneAdaptr announced the Flip World range in November 2017, spanning four products from the Duo to the Power World. Pre-orders got 30% off with the code WorldIn18.
Synology launched a Loyalty Rebate Program in Singapore, valid 7th to 18th March 2018. Owners of Synology 12-series NASes and older qualify for 15% off the new DS218+, DS718+, or DS918+. I reviewed the DS918+ recently.
Microsoft is opening South East Asia's first dedicated Surface Store in Singapore, at the Harvey Norman Millenia Walk Flagship Superstore, on 10th March 2018. The store at 9 Raffles Boulevard opens daily from 10.30am to 9.30pm.

Li Xiang has always loved jump ropes, one of the fastest ways to lose weight. After watching YouTube reviews, she settled on Crossrope, whose weighted, interchangeable-rope system stood out. This covers the Starter Kit.
The Apple TV Remote Loop retails for S$18 and tethers the Siri Remote to your wrist. It clicks into the remote's Lightning connector for secure attachment, handy since Li Xiang always misplaces the remote.
The Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh Power Bank Pro retails for S$52 at the Mi Store in Suntec. There are two models: the older PLM01ZM from March 2016, and the newer PLM03ZM from October 2016, which adds Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.
I bought the Xiaomi Mi Cable Storage Box from Xiaomi's official Tmall store during the 12/12 sale for about S$9.20. Unlike the Bluelounge CableBox, it has bottom openings for better ventilation, though that also lets in more dust.
The Xiaomi ZMI QB810 10,000mAh Power Bank is the smaller sibling of the QB820 20,000mAh. I bought it for about S$19 during the 12/12 sale. It weighs 177g and accepts input via either micro-USB or USB-C.
