    Very homely decorated shop with bears ranging from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars (which of course for collectors)

    I knew that Sasha'a Bear had a branch in suntec city but after it closed down ive not heard of it anymore. Till during my visit at Arab St the owner told me they are the only branch left.

    the teddy bears are pretty classic and adorable. the owner was very friendly and did not show any displeasure when i told her i was merely browsing.

    she initiated to give me the history of the shop, saying its a local brand and that they carry hundreds of different teddy bears. or should i generally say they carry many 'oh-so-cute' plush toys.

    they have plushies like chicken and ducks with cute and localised name like chi chi and cha cha. and furthermore, by touching their fur of the bears, you can tell that they are really of good quality. reasonable pricing too.

    during stock clearout, they have really adorable bears selling at less than $10.

    for a classical teddy bear shop, sasha's may be a good place to go to.

    this is a very 'arabian feeling' shop that sells many beautiful perfume bottles, which was the reason that attracted me in.

    they have beautiful glass perfume bottles which ranges from $20 to a few hundred dollars. even though some of the prices seems pretty reasonable, but knowing that these bottles are actually from egypt and its dirt cheap there, i know the shop is actually over charging. well rentals etc, i dont blame them. but knowing the actual price made me think twice.

    they also have a wide variety of essential oils and perfumes which you can tell them what kinda smell you'll like your perfume to be and they can blend it for you.

    they have some of their unique blends ready made which are actually quite nice.

    id recommend this shop to collectors of perfume bottles or people who will like a personal scent, its actually a shop worth going to. oh yah, you can ask for discount, please remember :)

      I am sure teddy bear customisation is nothing new in singapore anymore.

      however, after visiting the cool bear workstation, i am actually quite impressed by the ideas.

      firstly, you can choose any bear that starts from $39.90, abit expensive but well, girls?

      secondly you can choose how 'tough' you want the teddy bear to be, which means how much cotton do you want to stuff inside.

      after which, you can write a wish on a piece of heartshaped clothe, which symbolize the heart of the bear, to be stuff into the bear's body. you can also stuff a pre-recorded device thingy so when you hug the bear, there'll be a msg or a song.

      fourthly, choose the clothings which average prices are about $20. they have a pretty wide variety with cute themes like nurses, fireman and even bikinis! you can even customized the clothes to be identical to what you're wearing.

      lastly, a customized certificate will be given to act as an ID for the bear. you have to decide the name, gender etc.

      i was really tempted to make a bear myself. but after calculation it should reach about $100.

      its really cool, and i think it'll definitely make a good anniversary present. just that i wont buy one without occasion :)

        this shop in heeren sells clothings and accessories from miss sixty and energie.

        knowing their prices are quite high, i normally do not visit the shop. but there was once, me and my boyfriend made an exception.

        there was practically nobody inside but only the two sales person.

        the shop carries a wide range of energie products but only minimal from miss sixty.

        we were greeted by this stylish metrosexual guy who was very smiley and informative. we felt welcome :)

        as a girl, id say that SOME of energie's products are really quite unique, so does the price too :P

        the salesman chit chatted with us and relating the chats with some intention of promoting the items, very clever indeed.

        he prompted us to try their stuff and frankly, his tactics worked. i bought a top that cost $240 and my boyfriend bought a pair of sandal for $100 plus.

        the salesman gave us a catalogue each, related magazines and sample vials of miss sixty's perfume. till now i still wonder why would i spend $200 on a top, coz it really quite normal. but my boyfriend love his sandals.

        people who go to the shop please beware, coz the salesman is really good at selling haha.

          Happened to drive past joo seng road and saw many warehouses for furniture.

          i went to this crawford italia which has a big showroom. remembering i saw the name somewhere, i think it should be reputable.

          i was served by this old man who followed me everywhere. he seems really nice and somehow he gained my trust right from the start.

          however, i remembered that when i was shopping for my wardrobe, he told me one of them came with a mirror attached inside.

          to cut long story short, when i made my purchase, the wardrobe and a bed, i asked again about the mirror and he say 'oh no la, that one no mirror, only some others have'

          obviously he contridicted his words while promoting to me. but thinking that hes old n stuff, i didnt pursue the matter. its just a mirror anyway.

          after i got my furniture, in less than a month, the side of the bed broke. which means there'll be a dent. but its covered by the leather so i cant fix it anyway.

          so i went back to the shop and saw the same old man. i explained to him my situation and ask if i can have it fixed. he told me he'll check for me and ask me for some details of my purchase. he told me he'll call me back and not to worry.

          few weeks passed, and i still didnt get any call from him. so i called and he told me hes still checking. fine, i wait again.

          another few weeks have passed, i was out of patience and went back to the shop and saw the same old man again.

          when i asked for the status, he had to write down all the details again, even when ive told him on the phone many times.

          he said the same old thing - he'll check with the office and that it shouldnt be a problem.

          5 months have passed. my bed still has a dent. alright, im stupid
