The importance of caring for our Earth cannot be overstated, but sustainability often takes a backseat amidst our hectic lives. Whether you’re lost on where to begin or need a nudge in the right direction to get your eco-friendly habits back on track, Takashimaya is making it a whole lot easier with their Love The Earth 2025 event.
Expect a slew of sustainability initiatives all throughout the department store – from milk bottle and bra recycling drives where you can score rewards just by decluttering, to attractive deals on eco-friendly items such as kitchen tools and Japanese houjicha.
Takashimaya will be holding Earth Day workshops on 22nd April 2025 which you’ll wanna sign up for, ASAP. Each workshop costs $20 to join, but all participants will score a $20 shopping voucher plus a goodie bag upon attendance so you’re essentially getting a full refund and a workshop plus shopping sesh at one go! Takashimaya cardholders will receive a $40 shopping voucher along with their goodie bag, essentially getting rewarded for their participation.
