EXCLUSIVE DEALS JUST
FOR YOU DEAR READER!
When we’re not hunting for great
stories or running around with a
notebook and a camera, our team
regularly goes around the island to
strike family-friendly agreements
and deals with some of our favourite
shopping centres. This month, we have teamed up with The Grandstand, the
largest family lifestyle destination in Bukit Timah, to bring a wealth of deals for
you and your kids!
For the arty types, The LPN Art School (#04-09) is giving away:
• 1 for 1 deal for on-spot art
• 15 percent discount when you sign up for its progressive learning classes (Art
Play, Art Touch, Creative Art and Pottery Art)
Need more art? Art Grain (#04-18) is also letting you enjoy 10 percent off its
April Holiday Workshops! After you and your children are done painting, head on
down to Kiddi Playhouse (#02-K51), located within the confines of PasarBella,
and get 5 percent off all their
items. Just mention “I’m a
Family & Life reader” at the
cashier!
Parents aren’t left out.
Boulevard Outdoor
Furniture (#01-18) is giving
away its Dior III Hanging
Chair, a work of art if we do
say so ourselves, at only S$399! Once again, only you, our dear reader, get to
enjoy this offer. So, what are you waiting for? Head on down to The Grandstand
today and discover why everyone is talking about it!

SHAKING UP THE ONLINE SHOPPING SCENE
Purchase it today, get it tomorrow – that is new online retailer
SOSOON’s revolutionary promise to every shopper who buys an item,
big or small, from its e-store. “We want to rock the online retail game
here in Singapore and change the infrastructure and customer mindset
by committing to
delivery in 24 hours
for all our customers,”
says Robert Van Lith,
the General Manager
of Uitox, which is
the company
behind SOSOON.
SOSOON’s premise is
simple. Although we
have the convenience
of shopping from the
comfort of our couches, the gratification of holding our purchases
in our hands is delayed by a few days to a few weeks, depending
on the retailer’s shipping promise. “This does not fit my definition
of convenient online shopping! SOSOON will enhance the online
experience to exceed even physically shopping in store,” is Van Lith’s
bold claim.
Uitox has the credentials to back up its words. Its parent company,
which is based in Taiwan, is the first e-commerce operation with a fivehour delivery guarantee in Taipei City and a 24-hour guarantee for the
rest of Taiwan. Colour us impressive!
Discover the revolutionary shopping experience at SOSOON.com.sg. If
you receive your purchase later than 24 hours, SOSOON will give you a
S$10 credit!

PUTTING THE FUN
IN FUNCTIONAL!
Usually relegated into the far reaches
of your desk drawer, the ubiquitous
office stationery – the Scotch tape – is
coming or shall we say, colouring,
back with a vengeance! Gone are the
days when tapes have to play hide and
seek with your notes and wrappers.
Now, you and your children can exude
your personalities and styles with the
new Scotch Expressions Tapes!
Besides using them as your trusty
companion in your arts and crafts
projects or present wrapping
responsibilities, these colourful tapes are perfect for unleashing your
creativity. Tear out a few long strips to decorate your desk; cut them out
into squares and create a one-of-a-kind checkers board; turn your hohum stationery into beautiful art pieces; the possibilities are endless!
To fire up your creativity, the tech wizards at 3M Singapore have also
launched a website called MyActivityRoom.com, which show 66W2
