Year-end parties are a different level of fun, as everyone lets loose and clocks out of work and school stress mode till January comes a-knockin’. While the long-awaited reunions and merry-making till late in the night are great, party prep can be a bit of a chore. Make life easier and save energy for the fun stuff with quick and round-the-clock party essentials delivery.
We’re all familiar with foodpanda’s food delivery service, and you may be aware that they also have a grocery delivery service called pandamart. It’s not just for typical supermarket essentials like fresh produce, pantry staples and household items, mind you. The 24/7 delivery resource also stocks party essentials from themed food and decor to games and even gifts, and can deliver in as fast as 30 minutes.
Especially if you’re trying to get newer acquaintances or different circles of friends to break the ice and start vibing, card games are great at diffusing awkward situations where everyone’s all shy and quiet. Instead of heading all the way to specialty stores that carry card games, you can survey the group for their top picks and order everything from your phone.

Choose from unique and addictive games with local influences such as Durian Dash, Chope, Hawker War, and the quintessential fave for get-togethers: The Singaporean Dream.
Bonus: There are special foodpanda Delivery Rider cards in The Singaporean Dream’s The New Normal and 2021 Booster Pack for you to collect. And if you buy them from pandamart, you’ll stand to win $50 pandamart vouchers that have been randomly hidden in selected packs. Good luck!

Realising you’ve forgotten to get someone’s gift while you’re already standing there at the party? Not a very jolly feeling for anyone involved.
