The Lunar New Year season in Singapore is always an exciting time, not just for family gatherings and festive feasts, but also for limited-time promotions that add a little joy to everyday routines. This year, Giant Singapore is welcoming the festive period with a charming giveaway that blends practicality, collectability, and a touch of playful design. From mid-January 2026 onwards, shoppers who plan their grocery runs wisely can take home a FREE LINE FRIENDS minini Mandarin Orange Carrier Blind Bag with a qualifying spend.
For many households, Giant is already a familiar destination for stocking up on daily essentials, festive groceries, snacks, and household necessities. What makes this promotion appealing is how it rewards regular shopping habits with something extra that feels timely and thoughtfully designed for the Lunar New Year season. Instead of a standard discount or voucher, Giant Singapore is offering a limited-edition item that can actually be used during festive visits and gatherings.
At first glance, a mandarin orange carrier might sound simple, but this promotion goes beyond functionality. The carrier bags are designed with LINE FRIENDS minini characters, a sub-series of the much-loved LINE FRIENDS universe that features cute, compact designs in vibrant colours. These carriers are perfect for holding mandarin oranges when visiting relatives, friends, or colleagues, and they also double as a festive accessory that adds personality to traditional gifting.
One of the highlights of this promotion is the blind bag concept. Each carrier comes sealed, meaning shoppers will not know which design they receive until they open it. This adds an element of surprise that makes the redemption more exciting, especially for fans of LINE FRIENDS characters or those who enjoy collecting limited-edition festive items. With multiple designs, colourways, and character prints inspired by Lunar New Year traditions, every blind bag feels like a small festive treat.
The designs feature cheerful motifs and colours commonly associated with the Lunar New Year, making them suitable not just for practical use, but also for enhancing the festive atmosphere. Whether used to carry mandarin oranges during house visits or kept as a reusable festive bag, the carriers fit naturally into seasonal celebrations. For families with children, the playful designs can also make festive errands more enjoyable.
From a value perspective, this promotion works well for shoppers who already plan to spend on groceries for the season. A minimum spend of $128 nett in a single receipt is required, which is a realistic amount for families doing a major grocery run, especially during the lead-up to Lunar New Year. Essentials such as snacks, beverages, fresh produce, cleaning supplies, and festive treats can easily add up to the qualifying amount.
Payment must be made using any DBS or POSB card, which is widely used by many shoppers in Singapore. This makes the promotion accessible without the need to sign up for new payment platforms or memberships. Redemption is straightforward and is available at manned cashier counters only. Each qualifying receipt entitles the customer to one blind bag, and the redemption must be done on the same day as the purchase with the original receipt presented.
What makes this promotion worth considering is how it fits seamlessly into regular shopping routines. There is no complicated redemption process, no need to collect stamps, and no delayed collection period. Shoppers simply complete their grocery purchase, pay with a DBS or POSB card, and redeem the blind bag immediately at the counter. This convenience is particularly valuable during the busy festive season when time is limited.
The promotion runs from 15 January 2026 onwards, while stocks last. As with many limited-edition festive giveaways, availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, and allocations may vary by store. This means that shoppers who are genuinely interested in the LINE FRIENDS minini carriers may want to plan their visit earlier rather than later. Waiting until closer to Lunar New Year could mean missing out if stocks run out quickly at popular outlets.
Giant Singapore has made this promotion available at selected stores across the island, including both hypermarkets and neighbourhood outlets. This wide coverage makes it easier for shoppers in different areas to participate without having to travel far. Participating locations include Tampines Hypermarket, IMM, Pioneer Mall, Ang Mo Kio 316B, Beauty World Centre, Bedok Market Place, Buangkok Crescent, Bukit Batok 376, Choa Chu Kang, Hougang Green Shopping Mall, Kampong Ubi 306, Khatib MRT, Kim Keat 260, Kranji MRT, Loyang Point, Northshore Plaza 1, Pasir Ris 440, Serangoon Central 266, Simei MRT, Tampines Mart, Tengah Plantation Plaza, Vista Point, Woodlands Mart, Woodlands North Plaza, and Yishun 418.
For shoppers living near these areas, it is worth checking their nearest participating Giant store and planning their grocery list accordingly. Since availability may differ by outlet, visiting earlier in the day or earlier in the promotion period could improve the chances of successful redemption.
There are also a few important points to note before heading down. The promotion is valid for in-store purchases only and does not apply to orders made via food delivery platforms. Certain statutory and excluded items do not count towards the minimum spend, including infant formula, tobacco products, newspapers, magazines, phone cards, lottery purchases, concessionaire items, and Cold Storage gift vouchers. Blind bags are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash or other items, which is standard for promotional giveaways.
Despite these exclusions, most regular grocery items and festive necessities will still qualify, making it easy for households to reach the minimum spend without unnecessary purchases. For those who already plan to buy festive snacks, beverages, or ingredients for home-cooked meals, this promotion feels like a bonus rather than an incentive to overspend.
Ultimately, this is the kind of promotion that adds a little joy to everyday shopping. It does not demand drastic changes in spending habits, yet it offers something festive, useful, and fun in return. For LINE FRIENDS fans, the blind bag element adds collectable appeal. For families and regular shoppers, the carrier serves a practical purpose during the Lunar New Year period.
As the festive season approaches, small touches like these can make routine errands feel more rewarding. A grocery run that ends with a surprise blind bag and a festive carrier is a simple pleasure, but one that fits perfectly with the spirit of the season. For those planning their Lunar New Year shopping at Giant Singapore, this promotion is a timely reason to plan ahead and enjoy a little extra festive cheer along the way.
