We’re all too familiar with the endless list of to-dos when December rolls along, with errands to run and parties to plan. And that’s why we have no choice but to last-minute shop – to hunt down everyone’s Christmas presents.
Come 20th and 21st December 2019, VivoCity’s late-night shopping weekend will be the perfect opportunity for you to shop and enjoy 1-for-1 deals and discounts up to 70% off from over 130 stores. With extended hours till 1AM, there’s no need to panic when the shutters will close on the storefronts.
Here are 8 stores at VivoCity to check out during your late-night shopping spree:
Head over to TANGS and you’ll be able to find an array of apparel, household goods and travel items all housed under one store. There’s also a range of beauty products available from brands like Lancôme and Shiseido, so you can check out gift items for your girlfriends too.
Keep an eye on your watch as you browse – we say it’s best to cart out after 11PM, when you’ll receive a $15 TANGS voucher with a min. spend of $150. You can also spend $150 or more from 9PM to 10:59PM to get a $10 TANGS voucher too.
Other than being our go-to for fresh groceries, FairPrice Xtra also has a wide array of local and Christmas snacks you can buy and stock up on for all Christmas gatherings.
Head over to the Level 1 Atrium (near Swarovski) where FairPrice Xtra is having their Christmas fair – you’ll be able to find chocolates, wine and other snacks. For that secret Santee you might not be too familiar with but still want to impress, consider the limited edition Kit Kat in local flavours – Laksa, Roti Prata with Fish Curry and Chili Crab. This December, you can also find Christmas flavours like Santa’s Gingerbread Men, Mrs Claus’ Christmas Fruit Cake and Tiramisu. Each costs $7.50 per pack.
You can also make the most of 1-for-1 deals with fresh fruits like Sunkist Aust Valencia Orange Bag 1.3kg (U.P. $6.95) or everyday toiletries like Darlie Double Action Multicare 2x 180g B/W 80g (U.P. $8.40). These offers are valid only on 21st December 2019.
For that friend who needs some TLC, head over to Unity for a wide range of personal care and beauty products. There are 1-for-1 deals on hair products such as Herbal Essences bio:renew (U.P. $11.90) and Tsubaki shampoo or conditioner (U.P. $16.90).
If you hit a minimum spend of $60, you’ll be able to redeem a free exclusive tote bag that’s decorated with illustrations of Singapore’s landmarks along with a toiletries set worth a total of $28.80!
Ladies, take this chance to pamper yourself and your girlfriends with comfy intimates and quality sleepwear from La Senza. Prices are slashed up to 70% off bras and sleepwear (min. 2 pieces), you can even buy enough new PJs to last the whole of 2020 if you want.
There are also promotions for female undergarments as well – panties are going for 5 for $25 (U.P. 5 for $40).
Over at MI, there’s up to 25% off a wide range of products and it’s not just limited to the powerbanks we are familiar with. The brand sells much more than that – they also stock wireless earbuds ($59, U.P. $65), home security camera ($55, U.P. $69) and a body composition scale ($39.90, U.P. $56.90).
Xiaomi portable charger 5000mAH ($15, U.P. $16.90)
To help lessen the hassle of cleaning up the aftermath of upcoming Christmas parties, get a MI Handheld Vacuum Cleaner for $249 (U.P. $339), valid only from 8PM – 1AM on both nights
