The best party supply stores in Singapore!
1. The Children’s Showcase
Not just a brilliant toy store and a great spot for unique gift shopping, The Children’s Showcase has a fab selection of cool party supplies! From retro party plates and stripy paper straws, cute invitations and paper decorations, there are tons to browse from. And, if you love throwing parties, you’ll want to invest in a set of brightly coloured melamine plates, cups and gorgeous serving trays by Rice, too. Parties just got oh-so-pretty.
Where: Tanglin Mall, 163 Tanglin Road #03-16A, Singapore 247933 and Cluny Court, 501,#02-23 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore
2. Daiso
Parties can involve big bucks, and we’re all guilty of blowing the budget when it comes to kids’ birthday parties. But do we really have to? Kids tend to be happy with a cake, some games, their mates and a goodie bag. Really, it’s us who cares about the plates, the tablecloths, the balloons and the plastic cups to match the decor. We say, reign in the spending and make the most of $2-a-pop Daiso when it comes to party supplies! Psst, they even have party blowers and hats, too. This place is chock-a-block with great party favour ideas (you’ll find markers, mini Kokeshi dolls, games and more).
Hot tip: If you have a ‘theme’ for your party, then buy the plain plastic cups and plates and then print and colour your own themed DIY wrappers to liven them up.
