Mix and Match Merchandise is a store in People's Park that sells mainly the components you would need for jewellery making. There are many such shops in People's Park Complex.
But M&M is the only one very well stocked with QUALITY components. They sell a range of those made in China and those made in the US. There's also quite a bit of semi precious stones to choose from, but the variety of stones and beads are not as wide as those shops at Arab Street.
So I would recommend this place, if you're looking for good quality nylon or metal parts.
The staff are very helpful and they are very knowledgeable their products, since they also know how to make accessories themselves. They provide books for you to refer from and you could find the items needed in the pattern you want from their shops.
They have two outlets in People's Park Complex. One's on the first level the other on the second.
Art Friend is one of the most well-stocked places where you can get your art supplies. It boasts a large variety of every single thing you would need for your art piece. They even have art supplies targeted for artists on every level from the kid artist to the professional ones. If they don't have it, they could order it in, if you're willing to wait.
However, the staff isn't very friendly. They will not offer help and are usually found at the counter (if they can be found at all). But you could ask the customers there for help. Plenty of art students there who could give advice.
The pricing of their items vary. Some of the things are much more expensive but they also have bargain items.
I would usually head there if I know that the things I wish to find are quite hard to source for.
This was last Christmas. It was really value for money... 2 days 1 night weekend stay for $148. The room was quite spacious with a tub and double bed. It had those new sort of design where there's a glass between the room and the toilet? Room has a nice sofa and working desk too.
As for the facilities there's a gym, rooftop swimming pool, steam room and a spa on the roof top. They have 2 award winning restaurants... One's Jap and the other's fusion. I've yet to try both as I keep hopping to the Hawker Centre nearby for my favourite Chicken Cutlet Horfun!!
For entertainment you could even go to Pulau Ubin for the day - cycle, fish, paint, etc. Pretty cool really.

I believe this outlet has moved to Siglap - Cresendo building.
Great layout and ambience of place. Everyone was very friendly. No stuck up stylists introducing all kinds of greek hairdressing terms.
Athel cut my hair. I think he was one of the Senior stylists if not the head. He did a good job and kept up some small talk, without being too inquisitive. He wasn't irritating, but reasonable entertaining. After snipping my hair a bit, I had to wait a little for the Shampooing to be done. The receptionist immediately delivered magazines to keep me occupied.
The Shampoo and head massage was well done. The shampoo and conditioner they used didn't have the usual salon smell which i thought was FANTASTIC! It smelt really good.
They also shared some tips with me on how to maintain my hair without too much hassle especially after I told him that I was lazy.
All in all I think it was a good experience for my $37.
The shop sells Chinchillas, rabbits and hamsters... and all things related to them. They have a large variety of things for small animals because they specialize in them.
I love it for its wide variety. Jevon and Lifan are always available to dispense advice on your pets. They're very helpful indeed. The place is cosy looking and you can see that they try to entertain the pets a little and not treat them as lifeless commercial products. They take good care of the animals there so it's pretty safe to buy from them.
There's also free delivery if you spend more than $50, which is quite a low limit.
The slight downside is that they aren't very cheap. But I guess for the free advice... it's ok.
