SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 October 2025 – (NASDAQ: AMZN) — The most wonderful time of the year begins early as Amazon Singapore kicks off its 12-day Black Friday Sale, running from 20 November to 1 December. Shoppers can look forward to joyful savings across categories – from trending Toys and Electronics to Baby and Home and Kitchen essentials – making it easier than ever to find thoughtful gifts for family and friends and celebrate the season.
With hundreds of thousands of deals from popular local and international brands such as Dyson, LEGO, Sennheiser and Beauty of Joseon, customers can enjoy great value and convenience at amazon.sg/blackfriday, whether they’re shopping early for gifts or treating themselves ahead of the holidays.
Unwrapping Singapore’s Latest Gifting Trends
To mark the start of the holiday season, new YouGov research, commissioned by Amazon Singapore, uncovers surprising trends reshaping how Singaporeans hunt for holiday deals and gifts.
The study identifies “Deal Optimizers” as Singapore’s dominant online shopper persona. With 42% identifying as Deal Optimizers when shopping for themselves and 26% when buying for others, these savvy shoppers compare prices, stack vouchers, and strategically time purchases around major sale events. Generational differences are also apparent, with 58% of Gen Z shoppers preferring personalized gifts chosen specifically for the recipient – significantly higher than Millennials (39%). Instead, Millennials are leaning towards practical gifts (62%). This points to a growing emphasis on thoughtfulness among younger consumers, while Millennials prioritize functionality when selecting gifts.
Traditional gender roles in holiday shopping are evolving as well, with more men taking an active role in gifting. The research shows 45% of men plan gifts for their spouse or partner during sale events, almost twice as many as women (25%). Men also report spending more time deciding what to buy for their spouse and partner (47% vs. 25%), suggesting a more shared and thoughtful approach to gift-giving is emerging across different shopper demographics.
“Black Friday is one of the most exciting times of the year for Singapore shoppers, as it’s the perfect moment to prepare for the holidays and save on everything from big-ticket gifts to everyday essentials,” said Peter Li, Director, China & Singapore, International Store, Amazon. “Our research shows that Singaporeans are shopping smarter and more intentionally this year, and Amazon is here to help them do just that, with great value, wide selection, and fast, trusted delivery that makes it easier to share the joy this festive season.”

1win VIP Community Member Ilia Topuria Sets for Historic UFC Freedom 250 Main Event
Topuria officially joined the global 1win VIP Community on June 2, becoming part of the brand’s exclusive project that unites prominent figures from sports, music, and entertainment. Two weeks later, he is set to headline UFC Freedom 250 against Justin Gaethje in a lightweight title unification bout in the White House. The event is already being described as one of the most memorable spectacles in combat sports history.
“It’s not gonna be the biggest in UFC history – it’s gonna be one of the biggest events in sports history,” Topuria said ahead of the fight.
The bout marks the first defense of the lightweight title Topuria captured last year when he knocked out former champion Charles Oliveira to become only the tenth fighter in UFC history to win titles in two different weight classes. Holding a professional record of 17-0-0, “El Matador” Topuria enters the contest looking to further cement his legacy.
Known for his confidence and tireless pursuit of excellence, Topuria believes success is built on preparation rather than chance, a mindset that aligns closely with the philosophy behind the 1win VIP Community.
“Life is a game. Most people sit and hope for luck. I find it inefficient. I prefer control and precision, because when you set your own rules, winning stops being a surprise. If that’s your way of life, you’re welcome at my table with 1win,” stressed Topuria upon joining the 1win VIP community.
The fighter has repeatedly demonstrated confidence ahead of his clash with Gaethje, emphasizing his discipline, hard work, and dedication.
Ilia Topuria joins a growing roster of internationally recognized athletes and entertainers engaging with 1win, including 1win VIP member, rapper Tyga, and brand ambassadors and UFC fighters Jon Jones, Gable Steveson, and Ignacio Bahamondes.

The 7th Cross-Strait Financial Forum and Taiwan-Funded Enterprise Development Forum
This year’s forum is an important supporting event of the 18th Cross-Strait Forum. During the event, nine Fujian-Taiwan financial integration projects were signed, with a total value of RMB 9.1 billion. The projects cover a wide range of financial services across areas including cross-strait industrial cooperation, water supply security for public welfare, capacity upgrades for long-established Taiwan-funded enterprises, technology and innovation industries, and modern agriculture. These initiatives continue to unlock the benefits of financial policies, promote shared access to financial resources for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises, and inject new momentum into industrial integration between Fujian and Taiwan.
At the forum, the Cross-Strait Wealth and Asset Management Cross-Sector Alliance was officially inaugurated. Supported by Jinyuan Group and jointly proposed by its affiliated financial institutions, the alliance was co-founded by Xiamen International Trust, Jinyuan Uni-President Securities, Yuanxin Yongfeng Fund, Fubon Bank (China), Junlong Life Insurance, and Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital, among others. Centered on serving the wealth management and asset management needs of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the alliance aims to build a one-stop service platform covering asset allocation for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises on the mainland, family trusts and wealth succession planning, pension finance, and healthcare protection solutions.
The forum also unveiled a series of innovative financial achievements related to Taiwan. The banking industry’s first group standard dedicated to Taiwan-related financial services on the mainland, the “Specification for Taiwan-Related Financial Services of Banking Financial Institutions,” was officially released. At the same time, the “Bailufen” Taiwan Compatriot Financial Service Platform was introduced, further enhancing financial services for Taiwan compatriots living in Fujian and supporting the development of Taiwan-funded enterprises.
