a pop-up bazaar called Invade, in Esplanade Theatres
Objectifs Centre for Film and Photography
a shop called Alexandria Maison, in the shopping mall called Millenia Walk. (Sells postcards that features artwork by Van Gogh.)
this photographer, Christine Nagel, has been shooting various sights in Singapore, and sells her own photos as postcards.
the gallery called Art Agenda sells postcards featuring the works of contemporary photographers. At: 63 Spottiswoode Park Road, or their online shop
unexpected postcards
the (alcoholic beverages) bar called No. 5 Emerald Hill provides postcards, and mails them out to international addresses, free of charge. You can buy a drink if you feel paiseh. (Information accurate as of late 2019).
the shop called Cat Socrates has an eclectic selection of household goods, including postcards.
the bookshop-cum-cafe called The Moon stocks quirky postcards (but only a few of them).
The gift shops at The Gardens by the Bay, at the Marina Bay Sands, and at Changi Airport (especially the little grocery up by the Burger King). Very touristy viewcards, but some very pretty ones.
Watch out for the packets of postcards at Raffles Hotel gift shop: they are small and disappointing.
I usually buy at Botanics, GBTB, or Chinatown, or some of the post office series though they are a bit more expensive. Also Cat Socrates if I’m in the area, rarely.
Some great tips there, @anon46256986 - Emerald Hill?!
Oh that reminds, Kinokuniya has some cards if you look carefully, and… Design Orchard I think is the name, tourist shop with expensive local design stuff but had some cards and once they gave me lottsss of free ad cards after I bought some cards.
Also, souvenir shop in the mall in Holland Village, though some very expensive (4 dollars for a card?) but I got an old set of beautiful flowers for like 10 dollars for 20 cards!
Souvenir shop at Jurong Bird Park too (also on the expensive side).
Some 7/11 do have them but I never bought them there.
Hi @anon46256986, welcome to Postcrossing!
I moved your topic to the “where to get postcards” category, as it belongs there more than in the postcard chat.
Singapore post’s postcards are really beautiful, and are generally larger than normal cards. However, they are a little expensive for me as I am still a student. So, if I buy from the post office I would normally use them for swaps rather than through the official postcrossing website.
I remember finding some old postcards at Bras Basah Complex - I can’t remember the name of the store but it’s the one on the first floor with all the Chairman Mao posters.
I found some nice postcards of Haw Par Villa the last time I was there.
UPDATE:
Evernew Bookstore - they have postcards of Haw Par Villa, the old monorail and the Tang Dynasty theme park for 50 cents each
When was your ‘last time’ if I may know? They used to display them upfront but seems no longer does, but last time I only passed by and didn’t have time to look and ask in detail
I am often looking for old ‘folk tradition’, ‘folk costume’, ‘people’ kind of postcards and they’re no longer easy to find. These below are the type that I meant. New cards are mostly illustrations, historic buildings or just all the new & flashy buildings. Of course I guess these days the old traditions are disappearing so people don’t really make these postcards from new photos anymore
From ‘Impact publishing’ - bought ages ago at Bras Basah
I think Lim’s Legacy at Marina Square sells some too, but they’re as of now (April 2022) $1.50 each Pretty artsy/calligraphy art-sy I would say! Science Centre has some too but its the souvenir moving postcards! I got 3 for $4/$4.50 (cant remember it was Dec 2020) I believe

I usually order my Spore scenery n larger than normal postcards from Danny Tan of dotters168@gmail.com for PostCrossing use. His mobile is +65 9823 5115. Try him. He is the main supplier of postcards in Chinatown n others too.
Trust worthy as I have purchased a few thousand postcards from him already. My recent purchase was just yesterday for 1,000 cards delivered to me.
Hope this information helps.
Cheers n enjoy PostCrossing.
hello, just wondering if the bigger popular bookstores (e.g. HDB Hub) carry some postcards! been wanting to go there to shop but not too sure whether I’ll find any there! thank you
I am posting this here as my question is about an online store from Singapore:
Does anyone know what happend to the postcardhouse.com? Is this store closed?
I wanted to buy some new Icons of the world postcard but could not open the website anymore. Does anyone have any information?
(also on the expensive side).
