The fully subscribed Home & Decor Shop-Hop was once again a resounding success!

The second Home & Decor Shop-Hop this year took place on May 28, Saturday, and saw 90 homeowners learning more about household appliances, home Internet network services, and furnishing their abodes, at the three stops we took them to.

The rainy morning did not dampen the spirits of the Shop-Hoppers, who enjoyed breakfast at Gelare Cafe in Suntec City before heading to the first stop — Viewqwest, which is also in Suntec, where they were introduced to broadband services and learnt how to best maximise their Wi-Fi coverage at home.

The next stop was to the new Homes To Life flagship store at Mohamed Sultan Road, where Shop-Hoppers enjoyed a buffet lunch spread and an informative tour of the store that included an exclusive preview of the second level, which is not open to the public yet. Homes To Life prepared interactive games with attractive prizes, for an enjoyable experience.

At the final stop, Bosch, participants got to learn about the latest kitchen appliances via a lively cooking demonstration by chef John Sawarto. They were also offered great exclusive discounts on Bosch’s range of home and kitchen appliances, along with free gifts with purchases.

At every stop, Shop-Hoppers were given goodie bags, and as the cherry on top, some even walked away with attractive lucky draw prizes!
