If there’s one thing that can truly make a book lover’s heart race, it’s the words “mega fair” attached to their favourite bookstore’s name. This August, MPH Bookstores is delivering exactly that excitement with their Book & Gift Mega Fair at Alamanda Shopping Centre, Putrajaya. Running from 20 August to 1 September 2025, from 10am to 10pm daily, this event promises an incredible variety of deals on books, gifts, stationery, and more – all under one roof.
This isn’t just your average book sale where you wander around a few shelves and leave with one or two paperbacks. No, this is a large-scale, treasure-hunting type of event, the kind where you enter thinking you’ll “just have a quick browse” and end up leaving with a bag (or three) filled with titles you didn’t even know you needed, plus stationery, quirky gifts, and a few surprises for the family.
Why this MPH Mega Fair is worth your time
1. Books for all ages and interests
Whether you’re a fan of mystery thrillers, self-help, history, or contemporary romance, MPH’s selection is well known for being diverse and well-curated. The Mega Fair will almost certainly have a broad range of genres, from children’s picture books to thought-provoking non-fiction. This is a golden opportunity for parents to stock up on bedtime stories for the little ones or for students to grab reference materials at lower prices.
Imagine filling your bookshelf with quality titles at a fraction of their usual cost. With rising book prices, finding discounts like these is a win for both your wallet and your reading list.
2. Perfect for gift shopping
Gifts are one of those things that people often scramble for at the last minute, but here’s a clever tip – fairs like this are the best time to plan ahead. MPH’s gift section usually carries unique, thoughtful items that work perfectly for birthdays, anniversaries, or even upcoming festive seasons.
You might find elegant notebooks, desk organisers, inspirational quote prints, puzzles, or novelty mugs – all the kinds of things that feel personal and special. Buying them now, at a discount, means you’ll be ready for the next special occasion without the stress of last-minute shopping.
3. Stationery heaven
If you’re someone who loves the feel of fresh notebooks, smooth pens, and colourful planners, this fair is practically a stationery wonderland. It’s not just about school or office supplies – MPH is known for carrying stylish, good-quality stationery items that make you actually look forward to jotting things down.
For parents, this is also an excellent time to grab school supplies in bulk for the upcoming term. Instead of paying full price later, you can stock up now and save significantly.
A day out at Alamanda Shopping Centre
The location of this mega fair makes it even more appealing. Alamanda Shopping Centre, Putrajaya, isn’t just a shopping mall – it’s a complete leisure destination. After browsing the fair, visitors can enjoy the variety of restaurants, cafés, and family-friendly facilities the mall has to offer.
If you’re bringing kids along, there are plenty of places for them to have fun while you shop. It can be turned into a full-day family outing – start with breakfast, shop at the MPH fair, have lunch, and maybe catch a movie afterwards. It’s a win-win situation for both bookworms and those who simply love a good day out.
Why timing matters
Running from 20 August to 1 September 2025, this Mega Fair lands perfectly between the mid-year and year-end shopping seasons. It’s the right time for:
-
Parents preparing for the school term ahead.
-
Students looking for reference books and study aids.
-
Readers ready to refresh their personal libraries.
-
Gift shoppers planning ahead for birthdays and festive seasons.
The fair also conveniently includes a weekend on each end, giving both weekday shoppers and weekend visitors plenty of opportunity to drop by. Since it’s open from 10am to 10pm, you can easily fit it into your schedule, whether you’re stopping by after work or making a weekend trip of it.
Tips for getting the most out of the MPH Book & Gift Mega Fair
1. Go with a list – but stay open to surprises
It’s a good idea to note down the types of books or items you’re hoping to find. That way, you can prioritise your search. However, fairs like this often have unexpected treasures, so keep your eyes open for hidden gems.
2. Budget wisely
With so many tempting deals, it’s easy to overspend. Set a budget before you go – but be realistic and allow a little extra if you know you’ll be buying gifts or stocking up on supplies.
3. Bring a reusable bag
If you’ve ever been to a big book fair, you’ll know that the purchases can quickly add up in both numbers and weight. A sturdy, reusable tote or foldable shopping bag will make carrying your finds much easier.
4. Go early for the best picks
While the fair runs for nearly two weeks, the best selections often get snapped up early. If you have specific titles in mind, visiting within the first few days increases your chances of finding them.
Why this is more than just shopping
For book lovers, visiting an event like this isn’t just about making purchases – it’s an experience. There’s something deeply satisfying about walking through aisles of neatly stacked books, running your fingers over the covers, and discovering titles you didn’t even know existed.
For families, it’s a chance to encourage reading in children, showing them that books can be exciting and rewarding. For students, it’s about investing in resources that can help them learn and grow. For gift hunters, it’s about finding meaningful items that will genuinely delight the recipient.
Most importantly, fairs like this create a space for people to slow down and browse, away from the fast-paced online shopping world. You can flip through pages, compare editions, and enjoy the tactile experience that only physical books can offer.
If you’ve been looking for a reason to treat yourself to new reads, fresh stationery, or unique gifts, the MPH Book & Gift Mega Fair at Alamanda Shopping Centre, Putrajaya, is the perfect excuse. Mark the dates in your calendar and prepare to explore – who knows what treasures you might discover?
