Strangelets

This is a really nice home décor, clothes and ice cream (!) shop on Yong Siak Street in Tiong Bahru. I was as many others drawn in by the ice cream sign outside and once inside I was just finding so many nice things. They offer a lot of nice bowls, cups and such but there is also a nice range of bags, back packs and different type of ipad covers etc. Most of the stuff looks really nice but also comes with a price tag to match.
I looked at some nice shoes that I had also seen in the UK and they cost four times as much here. All the nice stuff does however make it a great place to shop for gift for someone you like. They also carry a nice range of jewelry and nice kids stuff so if you are out of ideas for someone special do come here and I would bet you will find something.

If you’re looking for unique home décor, gift items or a little something for yourself that is likely to not be found anywhere else, Strangelets is the shop to stop at while on hip Yong Siak street in the Tiong Bahru district of Singapore.
Cool international and local brands are sourced for the unique inventory mix at this expansive shop, a great place to pick up a souvenir during your visit to Singapore. I aquired up a unique wooden pocket watch that was too cool to pass up, even though I don’t own a vest to attach it clip it to. Other treasures that made it into my luggage (after I paid for them, of course) included unique patterned kitchen tea towels, a ceramic salt and pepper set in the shape of acorns, whose tops came off to pinch off some salt and pepper and a brass shoe horn.

Crossed the street to it post-lunch@40Hands. Ended up spending an hr there browsing through kitchen stuff from labels from France, Holland, Sweden as well as jewelry+crockery from local designers. Bought a (huge) plate for Sin$ 40.

You know the emoji icon that has hearts for eyes? That’s what I look like when I walk into Strangelets. This shop is like the Singaporean equivalent to Anthropologie in the US, except they focus on home décor rather than clothing.
I’m a sucker for candles, and they have a beautiful wall display with a ton of pretty looking and nice smelling wax. They also have fancy looking soaps that are nicely wrapped, which, if I bought them, would probably stay unwrapped and would be used strictly as decoration in my guest bathroom (which doesn’t exist at the moment… but ONE DAY.)
I also love their array of bags and leather iPad accessories, of which most are unisex. There are even blocks sets for children. And if you are buying a gift for someone, don’t forget to get a card, too. There is a good selection of greeting cards here that would make any recipient reluctant to throw them away!
Fun shop to browse, although pricey. But hey, the items are good quality. If you want to show someone you care and that you’ve put thought into your gift for them, this is a great place to start!

Strangelets is a funky little boutique that sells a wide variety of things like decorations, furniture, and clothing. They also have cool hip accessories like hipster glasses and wallets. The staff is pretty helpful with finding things which is key since the selection is so varied.

You can definitely file this one under «stores that I’d shop in if I were a millionaire» — but never the less, if there’s anywhere on Yong Siak Street that I’d treat my inner home maker, it’s at Strangelets. Beyond being easy on the eyes, the store always smells immaculate and that can be credited towards their decadent range of perfumes, colognes and candles.
This is the perfect store to pick up a gift for a housewarming or a baby shower and goodness knows I’ve been to a lot of those lately! Everything on offer may be on the pricier side of the spectrum but I especially find the children’s toys, crockery and the candles to be a great way to show a little appreciation to the special ones in your life.
Definitely a store that I’d come back to if I were to ever stay in Singapore on a long term basis — any future home would be lucky to have some Strangelets magic!
Oh and on a warm day exploring Tiong Bahru, grab an ice pop from the Popaganda freezer; wacky, delicious flavours and absolutely perfect for beating the heat!

I was attracted by the popaganda popsicles poster by the shop front and popped in there. Once inside, I was distracted by the beautiful, delicate and strange mix of items on display.
There are home wares, jewelry, blocks, stationery, soaps, etc for sale. I like the soap scents. Chocolate mint, basil, chai tea… mmmmm…they will make a good gift for people.
The things are definitely not cheap but they are certainly not the run of the mill products which can be found in almost every home. A lovely place to browse and see what will catch your attention.
In any case, the popsicle is a good draw.

A carefully and beautifully curated store in the trendy Tiong Bahru neighbourhood, Strangelets offers a range of pretty things, from jewellery to household wares.
I was drawn to their range of fun stationary, particularly the stamps and postcards by Yellow Owl Workshop with their quirky designs and bold colours. They also have a small selection of rubber band model airplanes, amongst other eclectic items that you can find in this little trove of treasures.
Unfortunately, while they carry some really beautiful pieces for the home, the majority of the wares are from Astier de Villatte. Beautiful and visibly artisanal, these come with a really steep price tag… I picked up a lovely mug and it was SGD 150!
Nevertheless, whilst some of the items are, indeed, expensive, you’ll find that they cater to different budgets, and there’s always some interesting trinket that will capture your attention.

Strangelets is a design shop that stocks on anything from jewelry to candles to bags, crockery and even ice cream. It’s a mix of everything in 1 but the consistency is in the beautiful and simple design of things. People go in for various reasons. I look for Carrie K’s accessories in this one but there are people who go in looking for bowls for their new apartment.
This is not where you’ll find mass produced pieces. Instead you get curated ones from all around the world and in limited quantities in Singapore. If you see something you like, do not hesitate to buy it because it may be gone before you know it.
This is somewhere i’ll stop by every time i pop by the Tiong Bahru area.

Strangelets is perhaps a little less strange and more quirky — it’s a well curated and designed store which holds unusual household décor items, stationery and accessories. The stuff here will satisfy any urge for unusual presents or just for the secret hipster in you!
It’s conveniently located along the popular Yong Siak stretch in Tiong Bahru so you can pop by after you’ve had a good meal in any of the surrounding restaurants or kopitiams.

Located right next to BooksActually, Strangelets fits right into the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood that is bustling with independent cafes and boutiques. As its name describes, this store stocks strange and quirky products in the form of jewelry, utensils, bags, stationery etc. It’s a great place for designer-​types to source for decorative items for homes as everything is one of a kind. Every time I’m here, I make a silent promise to myself to shop here when I move into a new home.
If you’re here on a hot and humid afternoon, do pick up a popaganda popsicle! Made from real fruit juice, they have an interesting collection of flavours like Avacado Cocoa Nibs and Mango Coconut in addition to the classic Mixed Berries and Kiwi Watermelon.
