Doing an MR on UA and need to buy a gift for my wife. I'd like something from the area/region, so that probably leaves out Hermes, etc. Any suggestions of specific airport shops to look in, or gift ideas?

I'd like something from the area/region, so that probably leaves out Hermes, etc. Any suggestions of specific airport shops to look in, or gift ideas? Gift idea: I'd suggest Royal Selangor pewter. It's made to a high standard and in my experience has led to suitably impressed friends who I've 'presented'. To be frank it's a Malaysian product so the prices and selection is better there, but I'm going to take a chance and say that you'll find that the price in Singapore is fair, even with the weak US$. (BTW small tip - if you have to buy at the airport, shops in Terminal 3, which is where UA's gate is located, is absorbing the GST at least on groundside.)

I bought a snow ball and a dugong doll at the Underwater World for presents for my sister and she loved them.

Take the doorway near the train station on Level 2 (Departures), walk past the hote l restaurant and take the elevator down to the lobby. |
