If there is one thing that can be surprisingly easy to overspend on, it is stationery. A new school term, a fresh project, an art hobby or even a simple trip to the bookstore can quickly turn into a basket filled with coloured pencils, correction tape, glue and craft supplies.
For Singapore shoppers looking to replenish their stationery collection without paying full price for everything, POPULAR Bookstores currently has a promotion worth checking out. The Little Hands & Big Ideas: 50% OFF 2nd Piece Stationery Sale is giving shoppers a chance to save when buying selected stationery and craft products in pairs.
The promotion is available at POPULAR Bookstores islandwide and runs until 30 September 2026, so there is still time to visit a nearby outlet and take a look at the participating products.
What makes this deal particularly interesting is that the discount applies to the second piece. POPULAR Members can enjoy 50% off the second participating item, while non-members can still receive 30% off the second item.
That makes this promotion especially useful for anyone who already knows they need more than one stationery item. Instead of buying just one product and paying the usual price, shoppers can plan their purchases around two participating items and make the second one cheaper.
A Handy Promotion For Students, Parents And Creative Shoppers
Stationery is not just about school supplies anymore. For many people, colouring, drawing, crafting and journalling have become enjoyable ways to spend their free time. Children can also spend hours making things with simple craft materials, while students often need a combination of everyday stationery and more specialised colouring tools.
The Little Hands & Big Ideas promotion covers a selection of products designed around exactly these needs.
Among the products featured are colouring essentials from STABILO, correction and glue tapes from PLUS, and air-dry clay kits from Craftpura. These are the kinds of products that can easily find their way into a school bag, study desk or home craft corner.
The promotion also gives shoppers a good reason to consider buying items together rather than separately.
Save More With POPULAR Membership
The biggest saving comes if you are a POPULAR Member.
Members can enjoy 50% off the second participating item, while non-members receive 30% off the second item. The difference can be worthwhile, particularly if you are planning to buy several items during the promotion.
For example, someone shopping for a child’s craft activity might choose a colouring product together with a clay kit. Another shopper may pair a correction tape with a glue tape for their study or office supplies.
The key is to look through the participating Little Hands & Big Ideas products and identify two items that are genuinely useful to you. The promotion is more worthwhile when the second discounted product is something that you were already planning to purchase.
STABILO Colouring Supplies For Budding Artists
One of the highlights of the promotion is the selection of STABILO colouring products.
The STABILO Swans Arty Coloured Pencil in 12 colours has an original price ranging from $5.20 to $12.20, depending on the selected product. There is also the STABILO Aqua Colour Watercolour Pencil in 24 colours, with an original price ranging from $5.20 to $12.20.
For students who enjoy art or anyone who simply likes having a decent set of colouring pencils at home, these could be useful additions to the stationery drawer.
Watercolour pencils can also be particularly fun for experimenting with different colouring techniques. They can be used as regular coloured pencils, while adding water allows users to create a softer, painted effect.
If there is already an interest in drawing and colouring, this could therefore be a good opportunity to pick up a new set while pairing it with another participating product.
PLUS Correction And Glue Tapes For Everyday Use
Not every useful stationery purchase needs to be exciting. Sometimes the best bargains are the boring things that people use all the time.
The promotion includes PLUS QL Correction Tape 5mm x 12m, available in assorted colours, with an original price of $3.45 each.
There is also the PLUS Norino Pod Glue Tape, also available in assorted colours, with an original price of $7.90 each.
Correction tape can be a regular essential for students, office workers and anyone who still prefers making handwritten notes. Glue tape, meanwhile, can come in handy for school projects, scrapbooking, card-making and other craft activities.
Buying these products during a second-piece discount can make sense if they are already on the shopping list. It is also a practical way to stock up without having to wait until the current supply runs out.
Craft Time With Craftpura Clay Kits
For parents looking for something creative for children, the Craftpura range could be one of the more interesting parts of this promotion.
The Craftpura Large Characters Clay Kit comes in assorted designs, including options such as Dinoland and Storyland. The original price ranges from $5.20 to $12.20.
Air-dry clay can provide children with a hands-on activity away from screens. Rather than simply watching something, they can use their imagination to create characters, shapes and little scenes.
It can also be a fun activity for parents and children to do together. A quiet afternoon spent making clay characters can turn into a simple family activity without requiring a complicated setup.
For anyone already thinking about buying a craft kit, pairing it with another participating stationery item could make the promotion more appealing.
How Does The 2nd Piece Discount Work?
The promotion is fairly straightforward.
Shoppers need to purchase at least two participating items from the Little Hands & Big Ideas selection. The discount is then applied to the second piece.
If you are a POPULAR Member, remember to present your valid POPULAR membership card at the checkout counter. This allows the second item to receive the 50% discount instead of the standard 30% discount for non-members.
It is therefore worth checking your membership details before heading to the store, particularly if you shop at POPULAR regularly.
Why Is This POPULAR Promotion Worth A Visit?
The main reason to consider this deal is simple: it rewards shoppers who are buying more than one participating item.
Parents can use it to prepare craft activities for children. Students can refresh their stationery supplies. Art enthusiasts can explore new colouring materials, while office workers can stock up on everyday correction and adhesive products.
There is also something satisfying about finding a discount on products that will actually be used rather than buying something simply because it is marked down.
The best way to approach the promotion is to make a small shopping list before visiting. Think about what is running low at home, what the children might use for their next project, or which stationery items need replacing.
Then, once at POPULAR, compare the participating products and see whether buying two makes sense.
For POPULAR Members, the 50% off second piece offer makes the promotion even more attractive. A half-price second item can add up to meaningful savings when the products are already part of a planned purchase.
Shop Before The Promotion Ends
The Little Hands & Big Ideas promotion is available now until 30 September 2026, giving Singapore shoppers several weeks to take advantage of the offer.
However, shoppers should keep in mind that participating products are available while stocks last. Popular stationery items can move quickly, particularly when a promotion offers a sizeable discount on the second piece.
Whether the plan is to replace everyday stationery, introduce children to a new craft activity or simply pick up some colourful supplies for a personal hobby, it is worth dropping by a POPULAR Bookstore and browsing the participating range.
For those who have two or more items on their stationery shopping list, this promotion could be a convenient way to stretch the budget a little further. And if you are a POPULAR Member, the 50% discount on the second piece gives even more reason to look out for the deal before 30 September.
