It’s hard to miss Dior’s The Atelier of Dreams pop-up at the entrance of Ion Orchard, given that it’s decorated with a 15-metre-high Dior Star. It’s more than just a stunning photo op, however. Inside, you can create unique holiday greeting cards with limited-edition stamps to accompany your gifts from Parfums Christian Dior.

Fancy cards aside, shoppers will also be treated to exclusive deals, goodies and promotions that will make the gifting experience that much sweeter. The pop-up runs until January 1 2023.

If you’re a tourist, make your trip to Ion Orchard an unforgettable one by joining its Food & Heritage trail, which leads you to explore the mall’s array of local dining options and art destinations. Once you pick up a card for the trail at the Concierge Counter, all you need to do is collect all six stamps on it and take three photos at any of the seven photo spots around Ion Orchard. If you do so, you’ll get to receive SG$5 worth of shopping vouchers (while stocks last) to help you make your gift purchases.
