Every time I go to the mall, I make sure to stop by a Daiso Store to check out some cool stuff for my room and my car. I’ve always found their products quite durable and very affordable.
I usually spend at least half and hour inside their store and I’m always surprised at the minefield of cute and quirky merchandise available– a lot of which are hard to find in other stores.
Tarry a little longer and you’ll be surprised to discover a lot of great bargains and practical items you can use everyday which you didn’t even know they had. And while these come ridiculously cheap, the quality is good and work decently well so there’s no reason to f ork out extra cash for something you can buy at just P88 a pop.
Check out these 10 amazing items I found at Daiso Japan.
1. Car interior wipes
I like to keep my Tori always clean and it really annoys me to see some spots and stains left or made by my passengers so these pack of wipes quickly made it to my shopping basket. These come in handy for wiping ketchup splatters, liquid spills and even tobacco stains. Remember that a spanking clean car is extra points for you.
2. Wooden toys
I actually have several of these puzzles which I completed back when I STILL had time. I found it relaxing and quite therapeutic. Its also a good learning tool for kids to pry them off their digital devices and play with something really tangible. These 3D wooden toys are an engaging way to improve your child’s motor skills. Make it a great bonding time and piece together the cutouts inside the box to create dinosaurs and sports cars.
3. Clear shoe boxes
Shoes in the living room or under the stairwell is not exactly a welcome sight. 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.
4. Tea filter
Love tea, but hate it when the package tears apart? Forget about frappuccinos and ice shaken beverages. 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.
5. Matte Finish Topcoat
A lot of ladies I know are so into Nail Art and can be quite meticulous when it comes to their manicures. Daiso’s Matte Finish Topcoat is a great bargain since similar products sell for P300 upwards a bottle! 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).
6. 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. Use these versatile Japanese tapes to create personalized stationeries and gift wrappers, design notebooks, decorate vases, and make cute coasters. The possibilities are endless, so get crafting!
7. Fun glasses
Parties are the perfect excuse to look silly, be a kid again and have fun. But if you are not in the mood for a full-on costume, these oversized party glasses may just be the props you need to get the laughter going. Wear them with friends and take silly pictures. They’ll literally be seeing stars on you. No one will judge you, promise.
8. iPhone cases
If there’s one thing I envy about iPhone owners, its the sheer number of cases available to them. For women 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. They’re affordable, too, it won’t cost a month’s allowance to change your phone’s OOTD every week.
9. Disposable diapers for pets
Love pets but hate cleaning after their mess? Be a responsible pet owner and 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.
10.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. Seriously,this simple-looking contraption squeezes the life out of an empty toothpaste tube for a few squirts more. So don’t toss out that tube yet.
These are just my 10 finds, how about you what’s your favorite Daiso Japan Item?
