Sugar, spice and everything nice: 313@somerset sets the stage for fun this GSS

This Great Singapore Sale, you don’t have to travel to Japan to enjoy giant rainbow cotton candy and snap pictures at a Purikura photo booth

Feeling uninspired and in need of some new and exciting experiences? You’re in luck — 313@somerset is bringing a splash of the trendy, quirky and nostalgic to our shores.

From now till July 14, the mall's L1 Atrium plays host to a delightful set up with vibrant aesthetics perfect for your Instagram feed.

Expect various photo opportunity zones, and get your cameras ready because the perfect Insta-worthy shot is waiting to be created, with a little help from a charming pink phone booth, an eye-catching neon sign and an illuminated larger-than-life rainbow cotton candy.

313@SOMERSET

Upload your most "kawaii" shot at the atrium on Instagram with the hashtag #313PoweredByFun and follow @313somerset on Instagram and stand a chance to walk away with $100 Lendlease vouchers.

This sugary-sweet setting is not just for show. You can sink your teeth into one of Harajuku’s Insta-famous treats: the Totti Candy Factory rainbow cotton candy.

This multi-flavoured giant cotton candy is the perfect accessory for a playful, pastel, aesthetically-pleasing picture.

If you prefer old-school photography, nip into the iconic Purikura photo booth for a touch of nostalgic fun.

Do these activities sound like your cup of tea? Take note that they will only be available to shoppers with a minimum spend of $60 — redeem a giant cotton candy (limited to first 100 redemptions and one redemption per shopper per day) and a free play session at the Purikura photo sticker booth (limited to one redemption per shopper per day).

Feeling lucky? Shoppers with a minimum spend of $200 can also redeem a fukubukuro lucky bag (limited to first 20 redemptions and one redemption per shopper per day) and stand a chance to walk away with a Muji luggage, Sony merchandise, $50 Lendlease vouchers and other surprises. Last redemptions are at 9.30pm at L1 Atrium.
