Kitchenware store Lemon Zest is filled to the brim with colourful gifts, presents and cooking toys that children will adore (we want most of it ourselves!)
We’re all familiar with the last-minute sprint around stores in Singapore on the hunt for cute, affordable kids’ party gifts (that you have no idea whether the pint-sized receiver will like… hence the cheap price tag). This is normally followed by the resigned purchase of something way over budget, because there just isn’t enough choice.
Until now, frantic mums and dads, for we have stumbled upon an absolute gem for buying children’s presents in Singapore. Cute, colourful, and useful kids’ gifts for 30 bucks and much less! We’d do the praise emjoi (with the hands and light beam stuff) right now if our system supported it.
Lemon Zest in Holland Village is a kitchenware wonderland in Singapore for grown-ups and children alike, crammed with dozens upon dozens of nifty gifts that little ones will love. Think rainbow colours everywhere, with fun baking toys, jazzy kitchen accessories and funky lunchbox tit bits.
This week, we stopped by (it’s impossible to spend less than 10 minutes in this shop – so many fun, handy purchases that will make your kitchen look oh-so-cool!) and picked up our top 10 gifts for children that all come at under 30 dollars. In fact, most of them are around the 10-buck mark.
Our recommendations? Flick through the gallery above to see our top Lemon Zest items for kids and swing by to pick up a goody bag of assorted gifts (the chopsticks are an absolute failsafe) to avoid those stressful dashes across town en-route to the party!
Top tip: There’s an amazing ice cream parlour next door called Scoop that serves up a cracking cone. In fact, the whole strip of shops and cafes along Chip Bee Gardens is worth exploring if you don’t venture to Holland Village very often. Enjoy!
Lemon Zest: 43 Jalan Merah Saga, Chip Bee Gardens #01-80, Holland Village, 278115. 10am-9pm, seven days a week (‘til 10pm on Friday and Saturday).
