7 GSS deals for furniture and home accessories

Now in its 25th year, the the Great Singapore Sale has seen its shimmer pale somewhat, given that there are plenty of online sales (from 11.11 to 12.12 to Black Friday to Cyber Monday and more) happening almost every month.

But Singapore's biggest shopping event of the year, which will take place from June 21 to July 28, has rebranded itself this year. It's now called GSS: Experience Singapore, with a focus on being a festival of sorts, shining the spotlight on Singapore fashion, food and the arts.

Here are some home and decor brands that have put their items on sale.

Thinking of getting new speakers or headphones? No better time than now to take the plunge, since JBL is having a deal that will make it worth your while. For instance, if you purchase a JBL Bar 5.1, you'd get a free pair of JBL Synchros E30 Headphones. The JBL Bar 5.1 features two battery-powered, rechargeable, wireless rear speakers with 10 hours of battery life.

Or you can get the JBL Link 500 - a hands-free voice-activated speaker that comes with Google Assistant - at just $459 (UP: $579), and you'd get a free JBL Drawstring Bag thrown in as well. With the JBL Link 500, you can stream music, ask questions, manage everyday tasks, and control smart devices around the home simply with voice commands.

If you're a sporty one and you prefer running wild and free without pesky earphone cables getting in the way, get the JBL Free X at just $169 (UP: $249) and get a free JBL Go Speaker (worth $89.90). We love that the JBL Free X comes with a smart charging case that powers it up when not in use.
