Christmas Export Overruns and Decors at Dapitan
A month ago, my brother and I visited Farm House Collection at Jamesport, Missouri. At that time, they already had a huge Christmas decor collection. They were all pretty cute and perfect for my house but the prices were quite expensive. Then I realized that maybe some of these Christmas decors came from the Philippines or China. In fact, the Farm House Collection reminded me very much of Dapitan, a great place for shopping unique finds in Manila.
Yes, the best place to shop for cheap and festive containers is at the Dapitan, a place of export overruns. For many years, Pinoy Shoppers trouped onto an obscure street in Manila that sold export overruns for mere fractions of their original prices. The place is simply called Dapitan. It is the ultimate place to buy unique décor, kitchen and home accents at really low affordable prices.
Today, we drove off once again to our favorite place. I went to my favorite stall first, the one near the parking lot and beside the Dapitan Arcade.
Parol for Christmas
It’s the time of year where the Christmas parol is once again displayed by the sidewalk.
Christmas shopping comes early in the Philippines. Roadside vendors start selling their Parols or Christmas Lantern already. One can have a choice of first generation till the fourth generation lanterns in any of these vendors.
Such a pretty sight it is to see these parols lining along our streets or subdivisions.
Christmas in the Philippines is never complete without the Christmas parol. It is a timeless tradition. No wonder there is a proliferation of Christmas lantern vendors as early as October.
