A visit to Greenhills will never be complete without going to Regina Gift Shop…read more When I was a kid my parents would remind me that it's a gift shop meaning I went in to buy gifts for other people. I believed that lie until I was about ten. I guess that was to prevent me from buying all the awesome goodies this shop has to offer. Sorry, parents. I'm buying gifts for myself. They have everything! And I really mean everything. They have all my childhood candies next to a stand of plastic balloons. You know, those little tubes which you squeeze until this substance comes out which you blow into with the use of a little stick. There's a shelf with plates, spoons and forks and knives, cups and lunchboxes. And in the center, you'll find notebooks, stickers, pens, art materials, cellphone cases and the occasional sex toy. Speaking of toys, they do have toys for babies and children and adults who collect toys. Not into those things? They have bags, clothes and hats too. I remember being dragged here by my mom whenever I needed a costume for school. "You're only going to wear it once anyway. But it at Regina," she'd say. Don't get me wrong, their clothes don't break after one use. They have cool socks and hats. And sometimes if you're lucky, they have sell Christmas stockings. I can't remember everything they sell at this shop. So it would be great if you have a look for yourself. You won't be disappointed and you'll leave with lots of loot.

This is the perfect place for hipsters! From the name itself, you already know that this store will…read moreprovide you with weird, yet stylish gifts, goodies, and fun novelty items. This store is famous for their water-resistant and tear-resistant mighty wallets. It looks like it's made out of recycled papers, but once you get a hold of it, you'll eventually notice that these wallets are hard as a rock. Once, I tried putting it underwater just to test its durability and nothing even happened to it. Besides wallets, they also have things to decorate your room. They have a Stick-It-Easy Clock that you can easily put on any dry surface. One of my personal favorites is their lunch bag that looks just like a disposable paper bag. It is built to keep your food hot when you're travelling or on the go. Just like the mighty wallet, it is also water-resistant and tear-resistant. If you need new decorations for your boring room or apartment, make sure you visit this place. Quirks will find a way to make it look fun and stylish. PS: Prepare your wallets 'cause this place is expensive!

This is a gret place for buying gifts and tokens for friends and family. Sarcasm is highly appreciated here so if you think you have a good sense of humor then come here the next time your looking for a container to hide that stash of grass ;) There also useful products of course. But their design offers something unique and eye-catching. So better than being useful, it will make you happy seeing it and knowing that what your purchased matches your personality! In Quirks everyday, ordinary stuff can take your imagination places and offer you something that regular stores won't.

Cuckoo clocks which help you keep time in style. Card and envelope holders individually crafted, clearly not just factory produced. Unique earrings to bring out a quirky, creative you. Period paintings on wooden frames to help your relive the spirit of a romantic, bucolic age. Small lamp shades to bring a touch of class and historical context. Wooden panels, fixtures and cabinets that can bring the store's rustic vibe into your own home. In a quiet but effective way, these items grow in the consciousness of the receiver. That's probably the reason why, despite having been around for quite some time, Papemelroti has never lost its charm.

Along Katipunan is a small shop called Flowers by Silvia in a very tiny corner along the huge street that may be overlooked. However, if you run a quick search in the internet, you'll find that their deals are affordable and they manage to deliver reliably and on time. The last time I had a bouquet of flowers delivered to me was quite a surprise, and it was due to the excellent service of Flowers by Sylvia, which takes orders through telephone or cellular phone. If you are looking for a sweet surprise for your special someone without breaking the bank, and live near the area, you may want to consider this quaint little business.
