[EVENT] Have a Sweet Christmas with Sophisca's 2016 Christmas Collections

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and it's my favourite time of the year whereby every place is so beautifully decorated, joyous songs playing in the background and meeting up with friends and not forgetting the gifts exchange. Christmas is like a time to celebrate and end the year with a sweet note.

I attended the sweet Christmas party at Sophisca, Marina Square outlet and was so attracted by their Christmas set collections that I feel like bringing all of them home. Nearly all the middle shelves in the shop are packed with assorted candies and chocolates all nicely wrapped up for the festive season. 

No longer do you need to kill your brain cells thinking what gifts to buy and also saves you the hassle of finding gift wrap. What you have to consider is probably just budget of the gifts and good news is the prices for the gifts sets start from as low as  S$2 to about S$20. 

PRESENTING SOPHISCA'S 2016 CHRISTMAS GIFT SET COLLECTIONS

There's definitely a gifts for everyone on your list with this overview picture of the gift sets sold at Sophisca. Now I will present the individual gift sets.

CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS STUFFERS (S$12.30 ~ $17.90)

Finish all the candies and chocolate in these adorable stockings and you can re-use them to put other small gifts inside. Comes in 10 different designs but I've picked my top 3 favourite!

CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATE BOOTS (TRANSPARENT) (S$6.90)

Know what I will put inside this transparent boot after I finish all the candies? I will probably put fairy light inside and turn it into a night lamp.

CHRISTMAS CANDY CANE (S$6.90)

Comes in a total of 6 different flavours.

CHRISTMAS SURPRISES GIFT BAGS (S$7.90 ~ S$23.90)

 INTERSTING FINDS

Other than those quirky candies sold, something else caught my eyes and it's this Chrismas collage. Quite unique. 

Oh, and we had a good time posing with the Lipstick chocolate. They looked so real. I wonder if they will really stain our lips with the respective colours or not.

[Event] Candylicious time at SOPHISCA 菓風小舖 , Marina Square

Sophisca, the first specialty candy brand from Taiwan since 1997, launched a whole new collection of "tricking treats" especially for April's Fools Day, these are on top of their usual quirky confectionery. Went down to Sophisca's newly opened outlet at Marina Square for some sweet treats as well as to see their newly launched collections. Thanks Meryl for the group photo. 

A quick tour of what you can expect to find at Sophisca aka A Sweet Place for Sweethearts.

1. CANDIES IN MASON JAR

What I liked about this series is that the candies are all individually wrapped. Have encountered before candies sticking together after being left in the jar for a long time. Furthermore, there's many other great uses for the mason jar after you've finished eating the candies inside. I personally created a bedside lamp by putting some fairy light inside the mason jar. Simple and pretty!

2. GIFTS

Under the gifts section, the candies and chocolate are already all nicely packaged. It's a grab and go for those last minute shoppers.

3. TRUE WORDS, SAY IT ON CHOCOLATE

This is my favourite section in the shop and also the section I spent the most time at.

There's so many message to choose from but first, let me find the alphabets to piece up my name - JAS!

Quite amused to find these Singlish packaging created for some fun. Very good for gifts for your overseas friends. Really is Steady La!

Love you, Love me, Love is all around.

4. SOPHI'S CHOCO

Sophi's choco comes in many different flavours and nicely wrapped too.

The four flavours of Sophi's Choco that I bought back as gifts.

5. SPECIAL BUYS

What they meant by special buys is actually confectionery pack in special packaging. Cotton candies disguised as pads, chocolate in a condom box, plaster candies, etc. I'm actually quite curious to find out what it's like inside but didn't get it and didn't received this type of presents before either.

6. CHOCOLATE

Ok, more chocolates but this time in medication packaging. I think they are trying to convey the message that eating more chocolate is not that bad afterall.

TRICKING TREATS COLLECTIONS

Crayon Candy Sticks - $9.90

Don't let these crayons fool you, they are actually melt-in-your-mouth candies disguised as colouring tools. Delicately made, these vivid-coloured 'crayons' come in 12 flavours (honey peach, tropical fruit, mandarin orange, pomelo, lemon, green apple, mint, blueberry, grape, strawberry, chocolate and yoghurt). 

Note, these 'crayons' are made with minimal artificial colouring and essence and not to be used for actual drawing or colouring! 

Brown Rice "Sushi Bento" - $11.90

At first glance, I really thought they were real sushi, but actually this is a box of 25 chocolate brown rice crispy treats! Made with 100% natural brown rice that is smothered with Belgium-imported white chocolate. Each piece of 'sushi' is individually wrapped in Kuso to ensure freshness and hygiene. This brown rice 'sushi bento' is a healthy snack choice for all ages, with non-fried, fragrant brown rice that is chockful of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre - more so than white rice! Best enjoyed with a sense of humour and in the company of sugoi friends! 

Choco Colouring Pens - $17.90

These are DIY 'soft pens' that you can use to draw and decorate your cookies, toasts, chocolate and more. Time to create some food art and bring out the creativity in you! Each choco colouring pen set comes in six chocolate-flavoured vibrant colours

White: White Chocolate
Yellow: Lemon Chocolate
Green: Honeydew Flavour
Pink: Strawberry Flavour
Blue: Blueberry Flavour
Brown: Milk Chocolate

[EVENT] Candylicious Blogger Party at SOPHISCA 菓風小舖 , ION ORCHARD

SOPHISCA started in 1997 as Taiwan's first specialized candy store and has opened up several branches there. Those who travel to Taiwan frequently might have came across this candy store selling fun and quirky candies and bought some back to Singapore as souvenirs before. 

The original concept of how SOPHISCA came about is that each alphabets stand for something.

S.mile - 來到菓風充滿親切的微笑。

O.ishii - 日文的「好吃」，好吃是唯一的理由。

P.ersonal - 個人化的包裝材料選擇。

H.igh Quality - 高品質的產品要求。

I.nternational - 三千多種來自世界各國的產品。

S.entimental - 感性。

C.are - 關心顧客需求。

A.rtlessness - 赤子之心。

Sophisca has created thousands kinds of fun, interesting and creative products such as the shape crafted candy, cotton candy, lollipops, chocolates, health nuts. Along with their creative line of products, Sophisca also came up with their very own DIY customize packaging, such as the candy bouquets. Sophisca's exclusive research & development team and manufacturing plant are based in Taiwan. Cerified with ISO20002 & HACCP, the various types of Chocolate & Candy gifts are produced under the strictest quality control.

Now, the good news is we do not need to fly all the way to Taiwan to get a piece of their candies, they have opened up two branches in Singapore and this is already their 3rd year here.

Together with my sweet friends, we went to attend their blogger party held at one of their Singapore's outlet at Ion Orchard #B4-07, right beside 4 Fingers. (Thanks Jess for sharing this event) There's definitely something for everyone so let me share what's in store for you!

FOR THE MAHJONG LOVERS

Very auspicious tiles. Huat! Huat! Huat! Until somebody makes a joke out of the "自摸" tile. Hahaha.  

FOR SABOTAGING YOUR FRIENDS

Chocolate & Strawberry condoms, marshmallow sanitary pads. Can you imagine the expression if you give the sanitary pad to a birthday boy? I wonder what would my reaction be, so far I don't have friends that crazy enough. 

FOR THOSE GETTING MARRIED

Wedding couple marshmallow. Could be given out as one door gifts during wedding too. So sweet!

FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTO MEDICATIONS

The next time you feel sick, maybe some sweet "medication" will help.

FOR THE FRUIT LOVERS

These are actually fruit gummies! 

FOR THE COLLECTORS

Classified these for the collectors because after eating the sweets, you still get to keep the empty glass bottles, tin cans, etc. 

HAND MADE CANDIES

ASSORTED CANDIES

Colourful assorted candies for anyone and everyone!

TRUE WORDS SAY IT ON CHOCOLATE

Each box has a different message on it and is the perfect gift for expressing special moments. Which box appeals to you most? For me, I like the "J" box and the "angel" box. My guardian angel please guide me through this difficult period. Oh, the different colour boxes symbolize different flavours of chocolate too. 

Red - Original, Pink - Strawberry, Yellow - Bitter Sweet, Green - Hazelnut, Blue - Black, Teal - Coffee, Lilac - White. 

Yes, this is indeed a sweet place for sweet heart. 

Golden medal for me.

Thanks Sophisca for hosting this candylicious blogger party. Had a sweet time trying out the sweets at the candy buffet and enjoyed the mini games played. 

Thanks Sophisca for the official group photos too! 

Here are what I've bought for my wonderful colleagues. Total spending about $30 including one box of fruit gummies which is not in photo. Got myself a Loyalty card. Haha. Next time you are at Ion Orchard, do give this candy store a visit.
