Be Christmas Ready at Orchard Central
10:58 PM
The end of the year is approaching, which also means...
Christmas is approaching! What is your favourite activity to do during
Christmas? :) For me, it's definitely admiring the Christmas decorations put up
along Orchard Road! I'm pretty sure this made up one of the beautiful childhood
memories for the 90s kids.
This year, Orchard Central decides to go with the
"traditional" colours for their decorations. The
theme this year’s at Orchard Central is "Christmas
Rhapsody".
Why is Santa Claus, the most important figure to many,
missing though? Because all of us are living Santa Clauses!!! Pretty sure many
of us believe Christmas to be the season of giving (and gifting), and even for
people who don't celebrate Christmas much (aka me haha), I'd still take the
opportunity to shop!
This year, although the
size of the OC Christmas Market Place has
been scaled down, the variety of products available for shopping definitely isn't
compromised :) You can find the Christmas Market Place at Discovery Walk, Level
1 of Orchard Central, right outside EwF :)
My favourite tenant here is definitely Shea (the one selling handmade
soap bars!!!) I chanced upon this shop (they're also located at B2 of OC) while
on a previous Beauty Trail I did with OC (you can access it HERE ). The store wasn't part of the trail, but it definitely caught my eyes
because my mum loves using handmade soaps which are free from sulphates and all
those chemicals (that I can't name). I brought my mum to the shop when we were
at OC doing our own shopping and she bought 3 of these soap bars, and she loved
it! If I'm not wrong, it's 3 for $28. I guess this will make a great Christmas
gift for friends and family! I'm definitely going back to buy some for myself
too :D
The best part of all, these soap bars look like food HAHAHA.
(but of course, it's not edible)
If you're looking for Christmas cards, you can also get
these really delicate pop-up cards available at the marketplace! They also sell
many other handicrafts available for purchase :)
Besides the marketplace located at the atrium, there are
also other stores located inside OC where you can buy your Christmas gifts from
:) The list is abundant... from Tokyu Hands to Soozip to Fullmask to Miss Empire... I've picked out
2 stores which might interest you guys!
1) TOTALLYHOTSTUFF #06-23
Nope, not a human for sale. Pretty sure this shop is a
familiar name to many students and teenagers. It sells lots of quirky and
interesting stuff! Be it buying a gift for your boyfriend/girlfriend, siblings or friends, there're a wide range of stationery to choose from!
Pretty sure if you're looking for gift ideas, you're likely
to not leave this place empty handed :)
2) Miss
Empire #B1-04
Not a stationery/ decor person? Or you/your friend prefer
something more classic and classy? :) Miss Empire sells fashion accessories for
ladies and there's really a wide variety available!
The prices of the accessories range from $10 onwards, which is an affordable budget for most students like us (esp when the secret santa "game" is usually budgeted at $10-$15!) They also carry more delicate pieces which are priced on the higher end, so there's quite a good mix of products of different prices!
Hopefully with this entry, you'd no longer fret over where
to do your Christmas shopping! Orchard Central is also currently having some
Christmas promotions!
