Memory Lane

One day I was looking for a present for my friend’s birthday. I was strolling around Mid Valley then I came across a few stores which included this one. Compared to S&J, this particular store has more soft toys and plushies. For a fact, I knew that my friend really love plushies. I went to ask the staff the rates and what sort of colour the soft toys come in.
Sadly, some of them did not respond to my questions properly. There was a little miscommunication but the senior staff helped clear the picture. The prices of the soft toys were reasonable compared to other shops I visited. I managed to purchase one for my friend as well as one for myself. There was also a discount given by the senior staff as I purchased two of the identical plushies. I would actually recommend you guys to drop by here to get your gifts for your loved ones!

I’ve been the most loyal supporter of memory lane since my school days. Memory lane has always been at the back of my mind when it comes to getting any cards, ribbons or to get my gifts wrapped (yes, it is pretty embarrassing, my wrapping sucks big time!)
Over the years though, I feel that they have deteriorated in terms of quality & options. I think they still have the same designs of mugs &soft toys as they did 10 years ago.
Nonetheless, due to convenience I find myself going back there over & over again!

Prices here are slightly higher than what I would’ve imagined considering what I’m paying for are birthday boxes, wrapping papers and birthday cards. There are also stuffed toys like teddy bears and other stuffed animals of sorts. Not only that, there are also festive ornaments and decorations sold here, such as Christmas decorations and Chinese New Year stickers to name a few.
However, I would agree that there are other places that sell the same things at a much lower price range, not to mention having better designs, but if you’re running out of options, this place would be great too.

This branch of memory lane have been there for as long as I can remember. I used to get a lot of presents from the branch and even applied for their membership card. They have a good variety and a good wrapping service but the only flaw is that they lack products these days. Most of the items are old, dusty and have not been touched for ages so the presentation is pretty bad. They have tons of soft toys and cards available for your liking. They would also decorate according to theme when it’s mother’s day or etc.
It’s really easy to spot in Mid Valley, right across from Teppanyaki and such. It’s right beside Guardian as well and the Lavender Bakery Shop. Service can get a little slow as they have limited staff to run the store but it’s not too bad.

If you have a dearest close friend or girlfriend in my case an ex-​girlfriend already, memory lane is actually where you can get your daily doses of letters, plushies and those lovey dovey stuffs. Sometimes, I think the small teddy bears were a bit pricey until I saw the big ones though. If I think logically, the big ones are slightly cheaper to purchase than the small ones.
The letters on the other hand are reasonable but they do not really have a wide range of choice. Probably its just me cause I like origami and making stuff, so I dont really purchase the letters. Most of the colours also touches pink or peach which tends to get a little dull once you stare at it for too long.
The service is not bad though as if you want something specific, they would actually help you search for it eventhough you are not buying!

I’ve been a loyal Memory Lane customer since I was a kid in school. Back then, we used to come here to get little knick knacks for our friends. I still do frequent this place a lot as I’m a keen believer in the value of a good birthday/​christmas/​farewall card. Nothing completes a present like a hand-​written greeting card. Besides that they also sell little boxes for all your accessories on your dressing table i.e. watch organizers, rings boxes, earring stands. This place is kind of a one stop shop for presents/​gifts accessories. Prices here are pretty reasonable too.

I am totally in love with this shop! they say a kid must always stay in you and that is so true! I absolutely love the feeling and coziness and the teddy bears remind me of childhood! that’s not the reason I go to these shops anymore, now I do it for my little niece and nephew! and this place did not disappoint me!
The staff are really helpful and smiley! they are not pushy and they let you think of what you wish to pick at your own pace! They do need to get more trendy though! bring in the latest movies out there’s games and toys :) because that’s what the kids want :)

Being gay, I take my gift-​wrapping very seriously. You can’t be gay and not be able to fabulously wrap a box. I’m not talking about normal wrapping, we do it with glitter, plenty of ribbons and sometimes attach some bells if it’s Christmas.
Now to learn the tricks of the trade, we often visit one of these stores and pay very close attention to how they do it and try to emulate them when we get home. I am proud to say that I now know 13 different types of ribbons for a package. #justsaying
The shop is nice and bright. The Ribbon Masters working there are always at the ready if you have any questions regarding products or services. Aside from gift-​wrapping, they also personalize cards, key chains, chocolates and pens for you.
But personalizing cards is seldom the case here. They’ve got a card for everything from Mothers day to anniversaries to birthdays and get well soon cards. There really is no excuse from your boyfriend for not getting you a card (and an accompanying teddy bear and/​or chocolates)…ever…
