Collectors, plushie hunters, and blind box fans may want to clear some bag space this month. A massive Character Fest packed with Sanrio favourites, Mofusand collectibles, Miffy merchandise, plush toys, blind boxes, and adorable accessories has officially landed at Takashimaya, Talking Hall, B1 — and it is shaping up to be one of the cutest shopping stops of the season.
Sanrio Tote Bags $8 (U.P. $29-$35)
Mix and match 3 for $50
Running from now till 25 May 2026, the event brings together a wide lineup of character merchandise ranging from cuddly plushies and lifestyle accessories to collectible items that fans rarely walk away from empty-handed. Expect shelves filled with familiar faces from the Sanrio universe alongside the wildly popular Mofusand cats and timeless Miffy collectibles.
Shoppers can browse through a mix of blind boxes, stationery, keychains, bags, soft toys, home accessories, and limited-edition merchandise — making it easy to lose track of time while hopping from one display to another. Fans of collectible culture will likely appreciate the variety available, especially with blind boxes continuing to be one of the hottest trends among character merchandise lovers.
The festival also doubles as a good chance to hunt for gifts, desk accessories, room décor pieces, or simply add another plushie to an already-growing collection. From oversized cuddly companions to smaller collectible finds, there is something for both casual shoppers and hardcore collectors alike.
Given the popularity of Sanrio characters, Mofusand drops, and Miffy merchandise in Singapore, crowds are expected throughout the promotional period — especially closer to the weekends.

Durian season is about to get a lot more exciting for bargain hunters and hardcore durian fans alike.
FairPrice Group is bringing back its annual $1.95 Durian Flash Sale for 2026, with kampung durians going for just $1.95 each across three separate weekends at selected FairPrice locations islandwide.
The yearly promotion has become something of a seasonal tradition for shoppers looking to enjoy fresh durians without paying premium prices — and this year, FairPrice is extending the sale across multiple weekends to give more people a chance to join in.
Each kampung durian will weigh approximately 600g to 800g, making the deal especially attractive considering current durian prices during peak season. Quantities, however, will be limited daily and are expected to move quickly once the sale begins each morning.
Durian Flash Sale Dates & Locations
Here’s where shoppers can catch the $1.95 durian sale:
22 – 24 May 2026: FairPrice Bedok North Blk 212
29 – 31 May 2026: FairPrice Kang Kar Mall
5 – 7 June 2026: FairPrice Elias Mall Atrium (new location)
The promotion starts daily from 9am on a first-come, first-served basis, so early queues are likely expected — especially over the weekends.
Limited to First 300 Customers Daily
There are a few conditions shoppers should take note of before heading down:
$1.95 per kampung durian
Limited to first 300 customers daily
Maximum 2 durians per customer
While stocks last
For those looking beyond kampung durians, FairPrice also shared that premium varieties such as Musang Wang, King of Kings, and Red Prawn will be available at regular prices during the event.
With durian season now kicking into full swing, this is likely one of the more wallet-friendly ways to satisfy those durian cravings without spending a small fortune. Arriving early would probably be the safest bet if you are planning to score the $1.95 deal before stocks run out.
Dessert lovers may want to make a quick stop atThe Coffee Bean & Tea Leafthis week, because the café chain is now offering a limited-time 1-for-1 deal on its popular Chicago Cheesecake slices.
Running from now till 22 May 2026, the promotion lets customers enjoy two slices of the rich and creamy cheesecake for the price of one — a tempting excuse for an afternoon coffee break, post-dinner dessert run, or catch-up session with a fellow cheesecake fan.
Known for its smooth, velvety texture and buttery biscuit base, the Chicago Cheesecake has long been one of the café’s more popular dessert staples. The classic cheesecake delivers a rich and creamy finish without being overly heavy, making it an easy pairing with coffee or tea.
The promotion is available for dine-in and takeaway at participating stores while stocks last, though some outlet exclusions and terms may apply.
With café desserts rarely going on 1-for-1 promotions these days, cheesecake fans may want to enjoy this one before the offer ends on 22 May.

Bubble tea fans may want to clear some space in their drink budget this week. CHICHA San Chen is celebrating its 7th anniversary with a limited-time promotion that gives customers 70% OFF their second cup across the menu.
Running from 18 to 22 May 2026, the five-day anniversary special is available for walk-in orders at all outlets islandwide, excluding Jewel Changi Airport. Whether you are into freshly brewed tea, fruit-based drinks, milk teas, or signature creations, the promotion applies across the entire menu — making it a good opportunity to mix and match different drinks in a single visit.
The “70% OFF Your Second Cup” deal ties in neatly with the brand’s seventh anniversary celebration, and regular bubble tea drinkers will probably know this is not the kind of discount that appears every day, especially from one of the more popular tea chains in Singapore.
Given CHICHA San Chen’s steady queues during peak hours, the anniversary week is expected to draw even larger crowds, particularly after office hours and during dinner timings. Those planning to enjoy the deal may want to head down earlier in the day if they prefer shorter waiting times.

📅 18 – 22 May 2026 🥤 70% OFF Your Second Cup 📍 Valid at all outlets except Jewel Changi Airport 🚶 Walk-in orders only
