<![CDATA[Where to get SG Souvenirs for oversea kids]]>Hi,

Not sure if this is the place to post.

Some overseas kids will be visiting my DD's school next week. DD has been assigned to be a buddy and has to get a gift between $5 - $10. The gift needs to have some representation of SG ....

Any suggestion what and where can I get all these stuff? Already have some committments over this weekend, dun think can run down town to get them. Any idea if Jurong Point / IMM / West Coast Plaza etc selling such stuff? πŸ™

Just an idea....


When my son went for a school exchange program in primary school, I stuck Singapore coins ie 5 cents, 10, 20, 50, $1... (or $2 notes) on small cards and put them into plastic pockets. My son added short notes and his name and email contact on the cards. You can also stick them onto Singapore postcards. It is fast to put together and within the budget πŸ™‚
sounds like quite a good idea. Will do that next time .... the overseas programme has ended yesterday

I managed to squeeze in 30 mins to go Jurong Point to try.....can't find anything suitable. Finally, I saw these postcards on Singapore.


Ok, so I'll get a little gift (maybe a nice diary, a book or whatever and slot in 3 postcard of SG (Merlion, SG Zoo, Night Skyline) so that the child have some photos of SG πŸ˜‰

Just one more question.....HK - Wong Lok Man....does it sound like boy or girl? Sent email to ask and the child reply the email but didn't indicate the gender :|.
😐

hahahaa..sorry, no help here bcos i don't know Cantonese.
But DH's HK colleagues love kaya alot (unavailable over there).

Little M:
If you don't want to go \"all the way from the west to central\" to buy a souvenir. Then why don't you make one. It is the thought that counts πŸ˜„

Perhaps......now what can I do for a 10yo kid.....dun even know boy or girl yet.

Not sure what type of souvenirs you need to get but for us, we typically get bengawan solo biscuits, ya kun kaya, bak kut teh spices/chicken rice mix when we visit our foreign friends.

Or get some food stuff like kaya or pork floss? U dd can decorate the jar to personalise it. πŸ˜‰

Besides, weekends packed with tuitions + have full month party to attend, a bit tight leh.

My colleagues from China got all their souvenirs from there and the prices are reasonable too.

dont know of any place in the west that sells them but if you could just squeeze in a bit of time from your packed schedule …

bugis village has lots of singapore thing - like t-shirts with prints "singapore is a fine country" etc., merlion spoons etc.

i find those bags, hats with the nonya print (sia pattern) very attractive and you could find them at bugis village (the one opposite bugis junction) at around your budget.
