As someone who plans his social interactions around the Co Star zodiac app, I’ve always felt that there was a sliver of truth behind horoscope readings. Since the Scorpio’s Apology Note worked out swimmingly for me, I’m inclined to give signs-based gifts another whirl.
If you’re an ardent believer of zodiac readings, it might be wise to pull out all the stops to maximise or, knock on wood, avoid your fortune. Here are some gifts*, sorted by the Chinese zodiac signs to treat yo’self with after stacking up on all the amazing ang baos this Chinese New Year.
All these products can be found on iShopChangi, which is having a huge CNY sale! Read till the end to find out more.

There’s no easy way to say this, but you will have a challenging time this year. According to various sources, some of the problems to keep an eye out for include conflicts with colleagues, financial losses, and health issues.
But as a wise friend once said, “Just take a deep breath and ask yourself if it will matter in 5 years.” To block out all that negative energy, get headphones like the Bose Soundsport Wireless Headphone and just work on yourself!
8. Year of the Horse: Makeup
