Celebrate Singapore’s 60th Birthday at Takashimaya with a Nostalgic Ice Cream Treat
Singapore’s National Day has always been a time of celebration, and what better way to mark the nation’s 60th birthday than with a sweet, nostalgic treat at one of Orchard Road’s most iconic shopping destinations – Takashimaya Department Store. From now till 10 August 2025, shoppers are in for a charming blast from the past with the Takashimaya x NDP60 Ice Cream Voucher Giveaway.
For many locals, the mention of traditional wafer ice cream instantly brings back memories of childhood – the unmistakable clinking of the bell from an ice cream uncle’s cart, the choice between rainbow bread or crispy wafers, and the unmistakable taste of a cool, creamy dessert on a sunny day. It’s this slice of local heritage that Takashimaya is bringing to the mall this season, offering their shoppers not just retail therapy, but also a delightful reminder of simpler times.
What’s the Deal All About?
Takashimaya is handing out ice cream vouchers to the first 300 customers daily, with a minimum spend of $60 in a single receipt at participating departments. Each voucher entitles the shopper to a nostalgic-style traditional ice cream – a delightful nod to the familiar taste many Singaporeans have grown up with.
But do note – only one redemption is allowed per customer per day, and it’s available while stocks last. The promotion is exclusive to specific departments and levels on selected dates, so it’s a good idea to plan your shopping trip in advance.
Whether one’s shopping for homeware, fashion, beauty, or even grabbing a bite in the Food Hall, there’s something for everyone – and every $60 spend could bring them closer to that cold, creamy scoop of nostalgia.
Why This Giveaway Is Worth Checking Out
First and foremost, it’s not every day that a department store combines Singapore’s national identity with such a heart-warming experience. This isn’t just about receiving a freebie – it’s about rekindling fond memories of old Singapore while enjoying the modern comforts of air-conditioned shopping floors.
1. A National Celebration with a Personal Touch
By giving out traditional ice cream, Takashimaya is not just running a generic sale. They’re tapping into a shared cultural experience, making the shopping trip more meaningful than a typical promotion. This is perfect for families, nostalgic adults, and anyone who loves a local-themed campaign.
2. Encourages Department-Specific Exploration
The giveaway encourages shoppers to explore various departments throughout the promotion period. One day may focus on ladies’ fashion, while another is centred around household goods or the children’s department. This rolling schedule gives shoppers the chance to discover departments they may not usually visit, creating a more engaging shopping experience.
3. A Family-Friendly Activity for the Long Weekend
With National Day falling around the corner, many families are already planning shopping trips or outings during the holiday period. What better way to reward a day’s shopping than with a sweet treat the kids (and adults) will love?
4. Exclusive, Limited-Time Perk
The limited nature of the promotion – only the first 300 customers daily – adds an element of exclusivity. It’s a little extra motivation to be early and enjoy the mall’s quieter hours. It also means less crowding compared to typical mall promotions.

-
