Singapore red packets are as good as Hong Kong if not better. There are adorable ones like Sushi Express which I only traded back in 2017 thanks to a collector from the Chinese FB group; Universal Studios Sesame Street & Minions from Despicable Me and the all green turtle set of seven by Wyeth are all delightfully lovely.
2015 was the year I started my collection and it was a beautiful beginning thanks to my good old pal Apryl, my cousin YM, my aunt from Singapore of course and a few other collectors whom I have the pleasure of trading with. Browse them all on my FB album (click here) or visit many more by years (click here).
Enjoy and if you are not a collector yet, it's not too late to be one!

The four 财神爷 God of Wealth from Putien below is one of the very first sets that actually joins top to bottom. The big yellow, middle pink and little white rams are a great match with the four lucky gods. They are indeed an unique design to add on to my collection. Next on the cutie list is Hockhua Group and United Square which I am still looking for the 3rd piece to complete. I usually don't prefer to put up any incomplete sets but United Square lil' lambs are too cute to resist so hoping maybe one of my visitors will fulfill my dream? |
Above Moove Media is gorgeous with the colorful glittering dusted horns and is a unique pair to have in my collection while below is Peach Garden my favorite 2015 set from Singapore so far... silky smooth material with absolutely beautiful color and floral combination. Another vibrant floral set is Beaute Nails that is showing off their butterflies in three pieces of yellow, pink and blue.
The golden butterflies above from Phoenix Contact are looking lovely with a die cut casing.
Next we have a new addition to the sweet floral family, Changi Airport gorgeous pair is bold and vibrant, definitely a beauty. The 4pc set from Frasers Centrepoint is quite different from their next few years design, 2015 is the sweet version hence my favorite. Hop over to my facebook album to take a look at 2016 and 2017 here. Another pair of sweet floral beauty accompanied by a lovely sparrow is from Kose Cosme Decorte.

More from Singapore and we have Chinese words Fu & Chun themed by Brands and AMK Hub ; The happy family from Shop With Us and Fairprice; The joyful kids from Seafood International, Nutella, Nippon Paint, SPC, UFS, Big Box, Toys R Us, RE&S & Jurong Health. Maple Tree and some of the IT companies also came out with fine designs, good paper and printing quality; Canon did quite well with their crystal like mandarin oranges compared to Epson, Fuji Xerox and HP.
FROM THE BANKS...
DBS & POSB is so popular that almost everyone will have in their collection even though it's very common it's still as delightful and good quality too. Standard Chartered below did a pair of orchids and the yellow piece really made the design stood out. Colors does matter... I love the elegant gold and red pair from ANZ, beautiful background floral and embossed wordings in gold printed on this lovely fabric like material.
OCBC has these beautiful 3-pc floral set which is so much better than the pair from Malaysia. One look and you can tell how different they are whether it's the quality or design. Although they try to maintain some form of similarity but they are just not the same. Not forgetting OCBC Mighty Savers cute pair, adorable as always. Bank of China's lovely floral pair that can be joined are one of my favorites too. Bank of Singapore is fabric material but design wasn't that great. Standard Chartered Private Bank is elegant in red with it's red hot stamped floral. Also in red are Commonwealth Bank and Goldman Sachs both thick and absolutely charming.

The Adorable ones . . .
Before moving on with some of my other collections from the malls, automobiles, hotels & fashion brands, we have few more adorable ones; Billy goat from Caltex & Pinyin Pin Press follow by Yahoo, Mayer and Jurong Health little lambs with fleece as white as snow; Mr Bean with their many fluffy lambs; Coca-cola yellow mountain goat in front with their signature glass bottle behind; Beautiful floral embossing from Passion and finally a color spectrum from non other than the paint expert itself Dulux.
Lexus pair is slightly bigger in size and even though printed on thinner paper, the florals are embossed throughout so the feel is really nice. Mercedes on the other hand used a much thicker paper and simpler design but the Benz logo still gives it a classy feel. Another pretty nice and fine design of the word fu is from Kah Motor Honda while Munich Auto has two little lambs tailing it's BMW.
Clementi mall has a lovely floral and goat design, lucky to have gotten it from my hubby's Singapore colleague's friend. The face shop is simple but the colors I like very much. Other shopping angpows from One Raffles Place, Orchard Central and Ion Orchard all beautiful in their own ways.
From the pharmaceutical I only have Pfizer which has very lovely dendrobium orchids. Next from the hotels we have my favorite Carlton Hotel zodiac piece; JW Marriott is in gold while Ritz is fabric red. The Stamford and Raffles both used simple red with gold prints but the highlight of the year from the hotels definitely goes to Swissotel Merchant Court Nyonya ladies.
