1. 2021 Planners and Notebooks From TYPO

TYPO is the ultimate gifting destination that offers gifts, tech ware, decor and fanciful stationery.

When it comes to Christmas, people in Singapore know it as two things:

  1. the period where you have back-to-back public holidays, and
  2. the season closest to the new year.

And what’s more useful than a planner for your colleagues to start their new year with?

This Christmas, you can choose from an array of planners tastefully bounded by colourful covers.

That or notebooks with a dazzling array of cover designs that make it more fun to work with.

Did I mention that they’re having a sale on selected items now?

P/S: Here’s why you should always shop early because you’ll have more time to consider the deals carefully.

In fact, it’s more than just notebooks or planners.
