10 things you never expect to see in Daiso Japan

-

Anyone who’s been to Daiso Japan certainly knows that an hour is not enough to comb through the minefield of cute and quirky merchandis­e available at the store. Tarry a little longer and you’ll be surprised to discover a lot of great bargains and practical items you can use every day, which you didn’t even know they had. And while these come ridiculous­ly cheap, the quality is good enough so there’s no reason to fork out extra cash for something you can buy at just P88.

Here are the top 10 best finds worth checking out at Daiso Japan to get you inspired on your shopping quest.

Tea filter. This teeny-tiny tea filter will make you look forward to afternoon teas. Have friends over, bake some scones, and fill each filter with your favorite artisanal leaves. Matte-finish (nails) topcoat. Similar brand name products sell for P300 upwards which makes a bottle of this matte finish topcoat a great bargain. Apply it over your favorite shade to even out brush strokes, prolong your mani and achieve a matte effect on painted nails (because not everyone is into glossy finish). Decorating tape. In this age of electronic mails and instant messaging, anything handcrafte­d is quite the novelty. These charming decorating tapes are a DIYer’s best friend in turning ordinary objects into adorable customized projects. So get crafting. Fun glasses. Parties are the perfect excuse to look silly, be a kid again and have fun. These oversized party glasses are just the props you need to get the laughter going. Wear them with friends and take silly pictures. Phone cases. Phone cases are like bags;

you can’t have too many of them. These trendy cases come in unique kawaii designs that perfectly reflect your style and personalit­y.

Disposable diapers for pets. Love pets but hate cleaning after their mess? Put these comfy diapers on your beloved canine and you’ll never have to tidy up. The diapers are easy to use, provides good absorption and are available in different sizes.

Clear shoe boxes. If you don’t have the budget for a shoe cabinet, the next best thing is to store your footwear in clear plastic shoe boxes and stack them up in one corner of the house or inside the bedroom. It also saves you the trouble of guessing what pair is inside the box.

Wooden toys. Learning and having fun at the same time is what you call value for money when buying toys for your kids. These 3D wooden toys are an engaging way to improve your child’s motor skills.

Car interior wipes. These come in handy for wiping ketchup splatters, liquid spills and even tobacco stains.

Tube squeezer. Did we mention that Daiso Japan has the quirkiest merchandis­e? Hiding somewhere in the home section is this small but powerful tube squeezer. This simple-looking contraptio­n squeezes the life out of an empty toothpaste tube for a few squirts more.

Daiso Japan has 55 store nationwide through Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc., which holds the exclusive sub-license to sell authentic Daiso merchandis­e from Japan and operates the legitimate Daiso Japan store concept in the Philippine­s.
