In my Erasmus days in Copenhagen I used to spend quite some time at Tiger, a shop selling stuff for…read more10 dkk ("Ti'er" means 'a ten danish kroner coin') up to 30 dkk. Anyhow, there I could find cups, notebooks, candle holders, snacks, napkins and all kinds of cute stuff. So it was a great surprise to find it here in Milan a few years later!
There are 3 or 4 other Tiger shops in Milan, but I think this one in Via Meravigli is the one I prefer, although is not big, they have lots of stuff for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10... euro: from candles to napkins, cute dishes, cups, tea bags, spices, some drinks, cookies, notebooks, cookware, coloring books for children, bike accessories, jewelry holders, wrapping paper, you name it! If you're throwing a dinner party, kids party, garden tea or whatever the occasion, you can drop by and find at least one thing to buy for you event.
The only thing I don't like is how crowded it can be on lunch hour and the long queue to pay, but apart from that it's great!
