So a lot of you guys have been asking me where can you buy stationeries in the Philippines. I actually don’t know a lot of stores that much since I have limited sources in Cebu, but I’ll try my best to include stores I’ve been to in Manila and stores I shall visit soon. This post would also include some arts and crafts stores.

(photos are not mine. credits to the owners.)

1. National Book Store

“National Book Store offers every imaginable product for school and office use. From ordinary supplies to creative novelties, students and professionals in search of a particular item seldom leave the stores disappointed. Most importantly, every product is of the best quality at the best price—even students can purchase them off their allowances.”

I don’t think I’ll have to explain what’s in this store because I’m pretty sure everyone knows this. I definitely love how NBS are adding more brands in their store such as Ban.do, Leuchtturm1917, Kate Spade, Filofax, Itoya, Tombow, Zig Kuretake, and so much more!
