Teacher's Day 2026 was on Friday 4 September, but all 12 of Unity's gift picks are still on the shelf, so they work just as well for a late thank-you or an end-of-year card. The list spans four budgets, from a $4.55 Vaseline lip balm to a $39.80 Eu Yan Sang Essence of Chicken. Re-checked against FairPrice on 11 October: the halal-certified Essence of Chicken is cheapest as a gift-box twin pack at $33.80 until 21 October (the plain 12-bottle pack is $39.80), the Blackmores, Vita500 and Redoxon offers all run to 21 October, Vicks drops are down to $4.75, and the Megrhythm eye mask's $6.25 offer now covers only one out-of-stock scent, so budget $6.98. Available at Unity and Unity in FairPrice stores; the next Teacher's Day is Friday 3 September 2027.
Teacher's Day 2026 was on Friday 4 September, but all 12 of these Unity picks are still on sale for a late or end-of-year thank-you.
> Quick view: 12 wellness and everyday-care picks from $4.55 to $39.80 at Unity and Unity in FairPrice. Best buy: Eu Yan Sang Essence of Chicken in a gift-box twin pack at $33.80 instead of $39.80, till 21 October. Best under $10: Megrhythm steam eye mask, $6.98. The catch: the gift box and most other offers end on Wednesday 21 October. Re-checked 11 October.
The under-$5 token that still lands: Vaseline's lip balm protects and helps relieve chapped or cracked lips, the kind of small desk-drawer essential a teacher actually finishes. Pair it with a handwritten card and the budget stays in coins. The Unity-sold Original 10g was still out of stock on FairPrice online when we re-checked on 11 October, so pick it up at a Unity counter.
Chalk, markers and endless hand-sanitiser are rough on teachers' hands. This hand cream promises stronger nails in 2 weeks and keeps hands moisturised through the school day, another under-$5 pick that reads thoughtful rather than cheap.
Teachers talk for a living. Vicks Vapo Drops soothe and cool irritated throats and clear nasal passages fast, which makes a single pack the most practical gift on this list for anyone who teaches back-to-back classes. PRICE: the 24-drop pack is $4.75 instead of $5 from 8 to 21 October on FairPrice online, and the Cooling Peppermint 24s carries the same offer. The any-2-for-$7.50 deal ran 10 to 23 September and has not come back.FINE PRINT: the larger 42-drop tub is a separate line at $6.80 with no offer, so check the count on the front before you pay.
$4.75 (U.P. $5) till 21 Oct 2026
Valid till 21 Oct 2026
The marking-night hero: a self-warming steam eye mask that produces gentle steam heat to ease tension after hours of grading under bad lighting. It is a small luxury most teachers would not buy themselves, which is why it is still the best gift under $10 here. PRICE: budget $6.98 for a 5-piece pack. FairPrice's $6.25 offer (1 September to 31 October) now sits only on the limited-edition Mimosa pack, which was out of stock online on 11 October, while the well-stocked Osmanthus pack is back at the full $6.98.FINE PRINT: scent stock moves week to week. On 11 October the Chamomile pack was also out of stock online, and the kids unscented pack was $6.95.
The grandmother-approved classic for a reason: Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa restores voice loss and nourishes the lungs, which is close to a job requirement for teachers. At $8.60 it pairs well with the Vicks drops as a voice-care set. That $8.60 is the 300ml bottle. The no-sugar 150ml and the 10-sachet convenient pack cost the same $8.60, but the plain 150ml is only $5.50, so read the size before you pay.
A classroom is a petri dish, and Redoxon's triple-action effervescent tablets support three layers of the immune system. A practical just-crossed-$10 gift that says stay well this term. PRICE: the $10.30 buys the 10-tablet tube, which has no offer.BETTER BUY: until 21 October the 15-tablet orange tube is $10.55 (usually $14.05), only 25 cents more for five extra tablets. The 30-tablet tube is $19.40 instead of $25.90 and the 45-tablet tube is $27.70 instead of $36.90, and at about 62 cents a tablet the 45s is the cheapest per tablet. FairPrice re-priced all three in late September, so the $9.15, $16.85 and $24 offers from our earlier check are gone.
For teachers who spend all day in aircon: this moisturising mist relieves dryness, itch and redness with a quick spritz between classes, sized to live in a handbag or on the staffroom desk. It is a Unity line and the 100ml bottle is listed on FairPrice online at $15.19, though it was out of stock there again on 11 October, so the counter is the surer bet. Until 21 October FairPrice online also attaches a spend-$25 offer to the Sunohada range: a free 600ml NONIO mouthwash.
A Korean pharmacy favourite you can only get at Unity and Unity in FairPrice here: Vita500 daily sticks deliver vitamin C to support energy and healthy skin, in grab-and-go sachets that suit a teacher's timetable. The $15.90 is a promotion on the 30-stick pack, down from a usual $19.90, and it runs to 21 October (FairPrice online, re-checked 11 October, when only one pack was left online). The Vita500 gummies are the cheaper Unity exclusive at any 2 for $4.90, but that offer now ends sooner, on 14 October, and the gummies were out of stock online.
Moving into proper-gift territory: Blackmores Probiotics+ restores and boosts good bacteria for everyday gut health. A sensible pick for a form teacher the whole class is chipping in for. The 10 Billion 30-capsule pack is 40% off at $31.17 against a $51.95 list price, and the offer runs to 21 October (FairPrice online, Unity seller, re-checked 11 October). From 8 to 14 October Blackmores also carries a spend-$80, get-$7-off offer there.
40% off at $31.17 (U.P. $51.95) till 21 Oct 2026
Valid till 21 Oct 2026
The other Unity exclusive: Frutrip Wellness Shots support energy, skin health and vitality, and they are 15% off at $34 (usual price $40) until 21 October 2026. If the class fund stretches past the $30 mark, this is the trendy choice.
15% off at $34 (U.P. $40) till 21 Oct 2026
Valid till 21 Oct 2026
The one-bottle-covers-everything option: Blackmores' multivitamin supports everyday wellness and a strong immune system, an easy premium pick when you know the teacher but not their preferences. PRICE: the 120-tablet bottle is 40% off at $37.25 against a $62.10 list price, until 21 October. This is the one that keeps moving: the offer lapsed on 16 September, came back the next day a cent dearer at $37.26, and was reissued again on 2 October a cent cheaper at $37.25. At $24.85 off it is still the biggest dollar saving here.FINE PRINT: only one bottle was showing on FairPrice online on 11 October, so a Unity counter is the surer bet.
40% off at $37.25 (U.P. $62.10) till 21 Oct 2026

The classic Singapore appreciation gift, done properly: Eu Yan Sang's Essence of Chicken is 100% natural, halal certified, and made to improve immunity, restore energy and strengthen digestion. The halal certification is what makes it safe for any staffroom. The price has flipped since Teacher's Day. The plain Traditional 12 x 70g pack held at $27.90 through three FairPrice renewals, but that offer ended on 30 September and the pack is back at its full $39.80. The cheaper way to the same 12 bottles is now the gift box: FairPrice's Traditional twin packs (two 6 x 70g boxes) bundled with a food jar or a handheld fan are $33.80 instead of $39.80 until 21 October, $6 less than the plain pack. On 11 October the food-jar version was well stocked and the fan version was down to its last five. The umbrella twin pack is back at the full $39.80. If the budget is tighter, the 6 x 70g pack is $17.90 instead of $19.90, also until 21 October.
Gift-box twin pack (2 x 6 x 70g) with food jar or handheld fan $33.80 (U.P. $39.80) till 21 Oct 2026; the plain 12 x 70g pack's $27.90 offer ended 30 Sep and it is $39.80 again. 6 x 70g $17.90 (U.P. $19.90) till 21 Oct
Valid till 21 Oct 2026

Six of the 12 picks carry a dated FairPrice offer (on the Redoxon it is the 15-tablet tube, not the 10s), plus Frutrip's in-store 15%. Re-checked on FairPrice online on 11 October 2026, soonest deadline first:

What moved since our 20 September check. The Eu Yan Sang plain 12-bottle pack's $27.90 offer ended on 30 September, and the food-jar and fan twin packs are now $33.80, which makes the gift box the cheaper buy. The Blackmores Multi Vitamins offer was reissued on 2 October a cent cheaper at $37.25. Vicks swapped its any-2-for-$7.50 deal (ended 23 September) for a straight $4.75 from 8 October. Redoxon re-priced its larger tubes, so the 15s is no longer cheaper than the 10s. And the Megrhythm $6.25 offer, still dated to 31 October, now covers only the out-of-stock Mimosa pack, so it has dropped out of the table. Two short spend offers also sit on FairPrice online: Blackmores spend $80, get $7 off (8 to 14 October), and a free NONIO mouthwash with $25 of Sunohada (8 to 21 October). Frutrip's 15% (to 21 October) is a Unity in-store offer, so it is not in the table.
Teacher's Day 2026 was on Friday 4 September, and the next one is Friday 3 September 2027. In between, the same picks suit a late thank-you, a card at the end of the school year, or a gift for a tuition or enrichment teacher. The consumables (eye masks, throat drops, Essence of Chicken) are the easiest, since nothing on this list needs to be personalised or ordered ahead.
A note on school gift rules: most schools ask that teachers decline expensive personal gifts, which is exactly why practical consumables like these stay in the safe zone. When in doubt, keep it under $10 per student and let the card do the talking.
Prices were re-checked against FairPrice on 11 October 2026 and may change at the shelf. Stock now moves faster than price: the Unity-sold Vaseline Lip Therapy 10g and the Suno Hada mist were listed but out of stock online that day, and the Blackmores Multi Vitamins and Vita500 sticks were down to one unit each, so a Unity counter is the surer bet for those four. Frutrip Wellness Shots are not sold on FairPrice online at all, so the 15% in-store claim to 21 October 2026 can only be confirmed at a Unity counter. The $10.30 on the Redoxon Triple Action tablets is the price of the 10-tablet orange tube. FairPrice online also sells 15-, 30- and 45-tablet tubes, and until 21 October every larger tube works out cheaper per tablet, so check the count on the label before you pay. The $8.60 Nin Jiom is the 300ml bottle, and a 150ml is $5.50. One last catch on the cheapest pick: the $4.55 Vaseline Lip Therapy 10g is the Unity line, while a marketplace seller lists the same 10g tube on FairPrice at $3.95.
Teacher's Day 2026 fell on Friday 4 September, with most schools celebrating on the eve, Thursday 3 September. The next one is Friday 3 September 2027, since Teacher's Day in Singapore is the first Friday of September. If you missed it, a late thank-you still lands: every pick on this list is still sold, and most of the current offers run to 21 October.
Anything sincere works, and Unity's selection spans four tiers: under $7 tokens (Vaseline lip balm at $4.55, hand cream at $4.99, Vicks at $4.75 until 21 October, steam eye mask at $6.98), $8 to $16 practical picks (Nin Jiom, Redoxon, Suno Hada mist, Vita500 sticks at $15.90), and $28 to $37 anchor gifts for class contributions (Eu Yan Sang Essence of Chicken at $33.80 in a gift-box twin pack until 21 October, and Blackmores Probiotics+ at $31.17 and Multi Vitamins at $37.25, both 40% off until 21 October). Teachers generally cannot accept expensive personal gifts, so small, practical and consumable is the safe zone.
All 12 picks are from Unity's Teacher's Day selection, available at Unity stores and Unity in FairPrice outlets islandwide, and most also appear on fairprice.com.sg if you would rather have it delivered. Two are Unity exclusives you will not find elsewhere: Kwangdong Vita500 Daily Sticks ($15.90 until 21 October, also on FairPrice online) and Frutrip Wellness Shots ($34, 15% off until 21 October 2026), which are not sold on FairPrice online at all, so that one is a counter-only buy.
Yes, for now, and that is a reversal. The plain Traditional 12 x 70g pack's $27.90 offer ended on 30 September and it is back at $39.80. FairPrice's gift-boxed Traditional twin packs, the same 12 bottles as two 6 x 70g boxes bundled with a food jar or a handheld fan, are $33.80 until 21 October, so the box is now $6 cheaper than the plain pack and you get the freebie as well. The umbrella version has gone back to the full $39.80, so skip that one. A 6 x 70g pack is also $17.90 (usual $19.90) until 21 October if half the quantity suits the budget better.
On price-to-usefulness, the Megrhythm steam eye mask is the strongest single-student gift: it is a small luxury most teachers would not buy themselves, at $6.98 for 5 pieces. Its $6.25 offer now covers only the limited-edition Mimosa pack, which was out of stock online on 11 October. If the teacher takes a lot of classes back to back, Vicks Vapo Drops (24 drops, $4.75 instead of $5 until 21 October) or the $8.60 Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa is the more practical choice. Under $5, the Vaseline lip balm ($4.55, out of stock online on 11 October, so look for it at a Unity counter) and the Healthy Hands and Nails cream ($4.99) both hold up, and neither is discounted, so the price you see is the price all week.
