Stationery Shops in Metro Manila
Sometimes, a simple piece of paper just isn’t enough. You need a visually pleasing notebook or a cute memo pad that can inspire you to write and keep checking back on your notes. Other times—admit it or not—you don’t really write anything. It’s just a fancy impulse to grab something cute from the stationery store, and then you hope that someday you can come up with something worth writing on that delicate piece of paper.
Whatever the case, we know that some people see stationery shops as the happiest place on Earth. If you’re one of those people, here we have listed down some of the best stationery shops in Metro Manila, where you can find happiness like a child finds joy in a playground.
