When Jewel Changi Airport first opened, we couldn’t help but marvel at its rainforest greenery and Jurassic Park atmosphere – it’s not exactly what we expected from our newest airport development. No doubt that it’s a major “first” in terms of being our very own modern-day nature escapade.
But it’s also a shopping haven – each floor has an array of retail stores, ranging from the likes of fashion stores to jewellery boutiques. From flagship outlets to shops never seen before in Singapore, here are 8 new stores to check out:
The second floor greets you with the scent of aromatic candles
From birthday gifts to anniversary presents, Naiise Iconic is one store where you can find it all. It’s divided into 2 floors: the first for quirky knick-knacks, and the second for fashion apparel and other home decor pieces.
There’s even a Gift Bar where you can get your gift professionally wrapped in fancy paper with all the trimmings. This service starts from $3 and you can choose to customise it with features like a wax seal stamp ($3) or a bunch of dried flowers ($1).
After shopping, head over to Naiise’s cafe – The Pantry. It’s fully stocked with local food and drinks with the likes of Kindred Tea, Joe & Dough, and Doki Doki’s superfood smoothies.

Clear skin doesn’t just depend on good genetics or the constant chugging of green tea – your skincare routine also plays a part. At Japanese beauty store Make Hero, you can find an assortment of makeup and skincare products that’ll leave your skin looking utterly radiant.
