This Hidden Gem Has Affordable & Cute Local-Themed Stationery, Gifts & More From Just $1
Looking for a gift on a budget? There's no time like the present to check out some wallet-friendly presents at Paper Adventures by Loka Made, a stationery and gift shop located just around the corner from Chinatown MRT station. Banish any thoughts you have of cheesy-looking keychains and T-shirts emblazoned with 'Singapore' word art, because these items look nothing like the average tourist trap goods!
While Loka Made originates from Malaysia, the store carries an amazing range of stickers, cards and little practical gifts designed with Singaporeans (and souvenirs for tourists) in mind. Their bestsellers include illustrated postcards in pretty pastel shades, featuring some of our best local fare, traditional clothing and popular attractions.

If your intended recipient is a foodie, you can opt for these Lokaware Postcards ($3.50) which feature eye-catching lunchboxes on their covers. On the inside of the 'lunchboxes' are art prints of some local cuisine and a little space for personal notes.
