So glad I made a trip to Onlewo! Beautiful motifs, lovely patterns and fascinating stories behind the items and bespoke pieces. Time flew by listening to co-owner Eugene share their story and journey. Great place for Singapore or Peranakan inspired gifts. Such a gem and an absolute pleasure to be in their shop.

I recently purchased a sofa throw from ONLEWO, and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The design of the throw is unique and beautiful, and the quality of the fabric is top-notch. Additionally, the customer service I received at the store was excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality and unique home decor items.

A colourful range of interior and design products that reflect Singaporean culture and heritage. With a friendly co-owner of Onlewo sharing stories behind each product and pattern, I was able to get an insight of the community and a glance into its histories. I wish I had more time to visit again, and highly recommended for people with eyes and curiosity into design and cultural heritage.

A Singapore gift has come to mean a lot for many Singaporeans seeking something thoughtfully tasteful during this season leading up to Christmas and New Year. More and more so, we are feeling the need to share a gift that will be meaningful not only for the receiver, but also for the giver. Among our customers, we have definitely sensed this desire for a Singapore gift that expresses a part of our culture, heritage or way of life, and also has a usefulness and longevity in the life of the receiver, be they family members, loved ones or business partners.
As designers, we believe in usefulness and longevity, and consciously work that into our ideas and production. During this gifting season, we hope our range of Singapore Gifts will bring smiles to both our customers and their loved ones for the reason that they are well designed, well made and wil evoke fond memories and warm connections.
Corporate gifting is about making deep impression or leaving lasting memories with your guests, business partners and important customers. It is about giving something meaningful, and making sure that your gift will be appreciated. It is easy to think of corporate gifting this way: would you be impressed if you are the receiving person?
Today, cultural appreciation has taken on new level of importance in business exchanges. Whether you are giving a gift to your corporate customers, associates or even your own company staff, blending in cultural element tastefully in the gift design will inevitably generate a stronger positive emotional response. A corporate gift that successfully tugs at the heartstring will win the best impression.
When meeting someone for the first time in a business setting, presenting a gift is a sensitive matter. It is particularly helpful to present a gift that will also be a conversation starter, to help you break the ice with an unfamiliar person. A gift with well-designed cultural or heritage content usually works well, as receiving persons tend to respond in courtesy and appreciation of the design details. Talking about interesting cultural stories can help break the ice and bring smiles. Such a beginning to a first-time work meeting will set the succeeding conversation in a positive, friendly tone.
Gifting is meant to make both the giver and receiver feel good. You know it when you have given a good gift, and so will your business guests or customers. This good feeling is the essence of a meaningful corporate gift.
In Singapore, the corporate gift culture requires thoughtfulness in gift selection, elegance of the gift packaging and understanding of the gifting moment.
A corporate gift that strikes a fine balance between personal and commercial vibe is the right gift. As a business related gift, it cannot be feel too personal, so as to avoid stepping too far beyond the line of business relationship. Yet, the corporate gift needs to have a personal touch that is just nice, to project an appreciation of the chance to meet the person representing her/his company.
A corporate gift is to facilitate good business relationships and as a corollary business transactions. However, the gift cannot feel too commercial or transactional, as it will engender an association with shallowness or, worse, be insulting to your guests or customers by implying disrespect or quid pro quo. You will want to build a corporate relationship based on goodwill, trust and quality, and your gift must present that message. Corporate gifting is a considered practice that weighs the balance between a personal and official approach, tilting sometimes towards the former when relationships have deepened and at other times towards the latter when the occasion requires greater formality.
