Every Singaporean child who loves reading, or whose parents enjoy buying them assessment books, would be familiar with POPULAR bookstores.
Before the year ends, we’d hurry to the nearest outlet with a to-buy list in hand, ready to stock up on school supplies.
While doing so this year, you might want to look out for some special promotions, as POPULAR brings its famous BookFest to 28 POPULAR stores islandwide.
From 11-20 Dec, here’s what you can look out for while doing your year-end shopping.
Your child may be flipping through their new textbooks already, eager to find out what 2021 will have in store for them.
But all parents know that assessment books are the best way to get them a proper head start.
With daily exercises across core subjects like English, Maths, Science and even Chinese, kids can get regular practice to prepare for the new school term.

Good news for parents eyeing a few of the books, as getting 3 or more at one go will earn you 25% off. Now mei mei can get assessment books of her own too.
The kiddos deserve a reward for their intense revision sessions, and comic books will be a nice distraction from phone screens.
New releases from iconic animes like Beyblade and Candy Series will be available exclusively at BookFest from 11 Dec, so you can relive your own childhood with your little ones.

Books and stationery may be essential to every student, but with IT-enabled learning, electronic gadgets are just as important.
Since e-learning has become a regular affair, parents should consider getting useful gadgets like this wireless mouse which comes in 4 vibrant colours.

The CapClip is a lot quieter than the regular mouse, so parents can nap in peace while the kiddos click away on their online assignments. You might even want to get yourself one for the WFH and office arrangement.

If all the school prep has left you little time to prepare gifts for Christmas, you’d be glad to know that POPULAR has some cool options.
Keep up with the wireless earbuds craze and get your teen these Skullcandy bluetooth earphones, which are sweat, water and dust resistant.

Breakfast rushes will be a lot smoother when you can blend everything straight into a bottle. That way, you can have time for an energy boost before sending the kids to school.
For more gift ideas, you may visit the POPULAR BookFest website here.
Instead of navigating large crowds at the usual POPULAR expo sales, you can now hunt for bargains at the outlet close to home.
As POPULAR takes its BookFest to the heartlands, they’re also making the experience fun by putting up ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ decors at 6 mega stores.
In line with the theme, POPULAR will be giving away an Afternoon Tea Set (worth $15) to anyone named Alice on Sunday (20 Dec).
So if that happens to be you, simply show your IC when making payment at the Bras Basah outlet to redeem your free gift. There are only enough sets for the first 50 customers named Alice, so don’t miss your chance.
As for the rest, don’t go changing your name to Alice just to score a free gift. POPULAR has other giveaways and activities you can participate in to join in the fun.
Follow their Facebook page and check out the BookFest @ Singapore website to find out more.
If you’re not planning a stationery and gadget haul just yet, BookFest also has Facebook ‘Live’ Events like slime-making and scrapbooking workshops to keep the whole fam entertained at home. You may check out the full list of events here.
