CNY shopping at OneKM Shopping Mall

 

With CNY around the corner, it’s going to be a mad rush to spring clean and decorate the house, with flowers, calligraphy scrolls and even Year of the Dog props to buy.

There are few life hacks to avoid the sea of people (and sweat!) in Chinatown rushing to get their CNY shopping done,  and one of them is the 5 décor shops in OneKM Shopping Mall that just brought in their CNY wares. You get to shop in aircon with FREE Wi-Fi, all while enjoying wholesale prices.

 

1. Chin Giap Soon – dog plushies, auspicious hanging couplets, calligraphy scrolls

Famous for being a one-stop shop for all sorts of party supplies and decor, Chin Giap Soon really pulls no punches with its selection for CNY this year.

To celebrate the year of the dog, there are dog plushies both big ($11) and small ($7). Other decorations to spruce up your home include calligraphy scrolls (from $5.80), hanging couplet sets ($5) and firecrackers (from $4.80). They also have Lucky Cats  (招财猫 , $11) to symbolise the welcoming of wealth into your household.

2. DACO – CNY lanterns, floral arrangements, plastic peach blossoms

 

When you step into DACO, you’ll be greeted by hanging festive lanterns and friendly staff. While offering a wide range of artificial flowers and greenery, their most popular flowers for CNY are their peach blossoms. 

The hanging displays they have are a unique upgrade to the usually scrolls or DIY angpow lanterns we would make for primary school decoration competitions. The floral ball-shaped lanterns go for $48, and the circular branch frame with flowers goes for $68.

With a team of friendly staff, you’ll feel as if you’re visiting a close relative when you step into Ming Sing Flowers. With their main entrance decked with festive decorative products like dog plushies ($5.50-$16), lantern versions with fairy lights ($6-$9) and flowers, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Their specialties are their flower frames ($65-$79) that cost ~$149 inclusive of floral arrangements. It’s a different take from flowers in a vase, and they look as good – or even better! Ming Sing also has authentic Vietnamese lanterns, that are $16.90 (small) and $138 (big) per piece.

One unique design here is the UFO lanterns that are sold in pairs ($118-$178, based on design).

Popular breeds of artificial flowers are the orchids (from $7.50) and magnolias that come in small ($7.50) and big sizes ($11), on top of the favoured cherry blossoms (from $7.50). And if you ask around, you might score some discounts – we got a stalk of big peach-coloured peonies for $7 instead of the usual $9.50.

Vanda Win also has floral arrangement services, so you get to pick out flowers and watch them put it all together for you. If you’re feeling hands-on, they also have a how-to DIY video on their website.

Even though 大扫除 (CNY spring cleaning) is something most of us dread, decorating is something I always look forward to spicing up the house for the new year! These decor shops at OneKM don’t have online catalogs with prices, so you have to go down to get the best prices and discounts.
