For as long as I can remember, this shop has always been considered as the ultimate gift shop. People often crowd to this place during special holidays in the quest of finding the perfect gift for their loved ones from a wide selection of items ranging from small trinkets to enormous stuffed animals with names. You can also consider posters with inspirational messages or small ornaments with a humorous touch. What I appreciate in this store, aside from their distinct generic wrapper and gift-wrapping prowess, is that, during Christmas season, their items are arranged based on the usual "somethings" for Kris Kringle. This way possible gift items that match the assigned category for the day or week are grouped together to make selection easier. And since my birthday is coming up, I have my eyes on a stuffed panda. Anyone? *wink read more

Blue Magic - Gift Shops Near Me - Mandaluyong, NCR

This is like the ultimate gift shop of my younger years. That shop with a migraine inducing electric blue logo. This shop is filled with gift ideas from the cute and cuddly to the weird and disgusting. The stuffed toys in Blue Magic are first rate. And they're not limited to just bears. They have stuffed tigers, cats, dogs, turtles and fishes. It's like stepping into the room of a taxidermist. They also have little toys that will surely be enjoyed by tykes. And then there are the gifts for the mature patrons. Condoms in test tubes that you can break open in case of emergency. They also have paperweights shaped like human excrement. Up to now, I can't bring myself to see the supposed hidden cuteness in that paperweight. Like what I said, they have a gamut of choices for all kinds of customers. So if you're looking for a gift and ordinary ones won't do, I'm sure Blue Magic has something for you. read more

Oh my gosh, Blue Magic. Just the thought of this mysterious, magical gift store makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and also a little funny. I still don't know why it's called Blue Magic but it might have something to do with the quirky, 'we have all that you desire, yes, even those weird stuff that you like' vibe. If you're looking for a charming store like the ones you read in books, where toys and other playthings come alive at night, this would probably be it. My earliest memory of Blue Magic is colored by the time one of my cousins grabbed my hand and gave me fake poop. FAKE POOP! What to do with a dollop of fake poop in my hands? Give it as a gag gift to someone else, of course! And that's how Blue Magic became my ultimate go-to spot for anything gift or token-related. This is the place to go to for Valentine's Day once you've run out of ideas on what to get your beloved and will now settle for anything fluffy, stuffed, and cute. Because Blue Magic has GINORMOUS teddy bears. Seriously, those things are massive! I can't even enclose my arms around some of those monsters. read more

I have a feeling that Blue Magic is the most visited gift shop in the Philippines. They have all sorts of stuffed toys and novelty items that you can give to your loved ones. Every Valentine's Day, people, who often forget to buy anything for their significant other, would rush to this place to look for cute over-sized teddy bears. This shop is always full of people every time there's a special day to celebrate, like Christmas. I remember back in high school, we were all required to exchange gifts for our year-end Christmas party. I didn't know who I was going to pick so I just bought a cute stuffed toy from Blue Magic. Who doesn't like stuffed toys? If you don't know what to give for Kris Kringle, check this place out! I also like the idea that every stuffed toy in Blue Magic has its own name. It makes the whole thing cuter and more sentimental. read more

I remember receiving a teddy bear from Blue Magic from a boy back when I was in Grade 7 (talk about nene) and proceeding to throwing it in the trash right after because I didn't care for the boy at all (so harsh my 13 year old self????). This was not to give offense to Blue Magic at all because their store is great. Blue Magic has been known as one of the best gift shops out there. It has always been a go-to for gift givers because it has things that relatively "everyone" would love to receive as a gift. Stuffed toys (the ultimate gift go-to!!!! and not to mention the stuffed toy selection at Blue Magic is probably the best there is), cute ornaments, posters, etc. You will find the perfect novelty item for whoever here, and if you don't know the person that well then just go for the generic stuffed toy gift and trust me you'll be fine. This is a goldmine for Valentine's day and Kris Kringle shoppers. read more
