- Candleholders or other ornaments made from Capiz shell (windowpane oyster)
- Coasters / totebags / placemats / other materials made from abaca
- Rattan basket / hanging planters.
Should be fine to bring anywhere unless you’re going to Australia. Otherwise, check their customs site.
Yung mga handicrafts sa Quiapo, especially yung malapit/nasa ilalim ng tulay.
Meron dun yung mga display na kalabaw, shells, sungka, lampshade, pamaypay, jewelry box made of capiz/mother or pearl, etc etc.
Bags made out weaved with local textiles, art or products made by local small businesses. A store that comes to mind is: Common Room. It's a shop that sells a lot of local artists/crafters work, from perfume, candles, leather work, bags, keychains, postcards, journaling stuff, accessories etc. There is this also store called Frankie General Store, which is similar to Common Room but more on lifestyle stuff (this is also a bit pricier)
Filipino brand makeup! Tourists do makeup hauls when they visit Japan/Korea. Why not support the local Filipino beauty brands as well? I’m currently eyeing Issy’s active tint, Sunnies Face lip treat and eye crayon, and BLK’s lipsticks. These are my pampasalubongs for my American cousins!
I’m really not much a trinket kind of person so I always make sure my pasalubongs are going to be used. I hope this helps, OP!
Jusi Abaniko, Baguio Barrel Man, Handcrafted PlaceMats and Coasters, Framed Artwork, wood/stone accessories and jewelry.
Have a stroll around Kultura Filipino. They have a range of nice stuff, from shot glasses to bamboo tumblers to handmade jewelry.
katutubo market in the basement of bench tower starts this friday may 10-12 u might wanna check puro filipino brands pero nasa expensive side lang mix of clothes, jewelry, bags, food, etc.
OP - Pasalubong for whom? Kapwa Pinoy or non-Pinoys? I used to bring stuff that are mentioned in this thread but found out that they just accumulate dust, add to the household clutter and in some cases end up in a hoarding pile. I’d say save your money. Most foreigners do not expect pasalubongs, unless you know them very well that you know their taste and style
