Divisoria is always our best bet for cheap but great finds… may it be for your kid’s birthday party favor, supplies in your office, corporate giveaways or whatever it is that you need … most likely you can find it in our home sweet “divilandia”!
Yup, we call it “divilandia”!… There’s a forum that many budget conscious mommies shares there ideas and great finds for home needs and baby stuff. They call divisoria … “divilandia” and now, we call it that way since we consider it a shopper’s paradise.
Last tuesday, August 21, 2007, we went to divilandia to scout for party favors for Julienne’s upcoming birthday party, some supplies for the office and for possible corporate giveaways this yuletide season.
You wouldn’t believe what we bought, how much we spent and what’s on our list for our next visit. We’ll post another entry for the party favors that we bought which only cost us 1,200 for everything (stationary sets, tumblers, stickers, coloring books, puzzles, bags, watches and “strawberry shortcake”-like hats)
Barat tips:
1. Don’t wear your jewelries when you go there. Jeans, shirt and flip-flops/sneakers would be the best attire plus a belt bag 
(this is the reason why one of the sales lady thought that i’m a trader hehehe)
2. Visit divi on a weekday and the day after the holiday (normally tuesday) would be the best timing, since everybody’s excited to go back to the office after a long weekend. 
3. Don’t limit yourself to tutuban and 168. If you think, prices here are oh sooo cheap, wait until you visit the new divisoria mall and the streets of divisoria. You wouldn’t believe the price!
4. Buy in wholesale, this only refers to 6 pcs.
5. Make a list or know what are the items you would buy, since you’ll be lured with the wide selection of items in divilandia.
6. Be prepared to carry your purchases, unless you bring your alalay with you or hire some “tambays” to carry it for you. You may also hire a pedicab to drive you to the parking area if you’re already tired with all the shopping
7. You may park at 168 or tutuban mall.
We hope you’ll have an enjoyable visit at our divilandia!:)
hi! i’m from baguio and i have been hoping to go to divi but i have no time since i am a student. I would like to ask if you know the prices for the ff:
1. bubble shirts
2. summer dresses
3. swimsuits (2 pc and 3 pc with cover up)
4. shorts (stripes)
thanks so mush! i hope you can help me =)
Hi kay! I was just at 168 (divisoria this morning
) …
1. bubble shirts
(can range from Php 50 to Php 300… depending on style and material… you can find the Php 50 shirts at the bangketa)
2. summer dresses
(it depends on the style and quality, i am very particular with the material and the cut so the summer dresses that i bought ranged from Php 350 to Php 480 but these dresses costs around php 800 to php 1,000 at Greenhills)
3. swimsuits (2 pc and 3 pc with cover up)
i didn’t ask for the price since i just bought mine last week
4. shorts (stripes)
at the bangketa and tutuban prime block you may find Php 100 – Php 150 shorts but at 168 you can find php 200 – php 300 (mahal!)
I hope this helps!

hi robert!
kung hindi mo type yung magulo at “divi” feeling, may mga mabibili ka na sa 168, mura naman na din dito plus hindi pa hassle kasi mall type talaga yung feeling. Pero kung mas mura pa hanap mo sa New Divisoria Mall ka pumunta. Lahat ng kailangan mo andun. Parang one stop shop yun, pati tarpauline printing, mga balloons and imported candies meron dun
Yung tumbler na pwede mong i-customized yung print sa 168 yung nakuha kong supplier. Pag mga 6pcs- 24pcs around Php 40 each pero pag mga 100pcs yung last na tanong ko php 28 lang
Hope this helps.
Mrs. Baratmode
hello po! first ko pong pupunta ng divisoria (sana hindi ako mawala). kailangan ko po kasi ng mga loot bags, balloons, etc., para sa first bday ng pinsan ko. san po ung new divisoria mall? pano po pumunta dun galing baclaran LRT? saka, san din po nakakabili ng mga tela dun? may street po ba na specific? salamat po!
Hi Marc!
From Recto avenue going towards Tutuban Mall, look for Tabora St. Nandito yung bilihan ng mga tela. Pagdiniretso mo yung Tabora St., sa dulo na nun yung New Divisoria Mall. Sa ngayon, madaming tao sa Divi kasi pasukan. Kung hindi ka naman nag mamadali mga nextweek na pumunta para hindi masyadong siksikan.
Happy Shopping!

Hi. I need a give away that’s good but not that costly. Can I find a ballpen w/ laser pointer in divisoria in less than a hundred? Where?
Hi Mavic!
Try to check out 168 or Divi mall. If you’ll get more than 12pcs you’ll definitely get a good price.
hello.. san mo nabili yung mga strawberry shortcake goodies sa divisoria. email me n lng for reply at ashleimac0508@aol.com.. thanks
hello
where did you buy yung mga strawberry shortcake goodies sa divi? please email me at ashleimac0508@aol.com thanks
Hi sheila!
It’s all over Divisoria mall.
I just don’t know if they still have wide array of items. Stocks actually depends on the latest trends and whatever they had shipped from china ;P
Did you find temporary tattoos at Divisoria Mall? How much did they cost? Thanks!
Sis madami dun. Depende lang sa design and size na gusto mo
pero for sure mura lang. 
hi, tanong ko lang sana kung may alam po kayo bilihan ng murang rice sacks or plastics? salamat po.
sa gilid ng divi mall tony madaming tindahan ng plastic. yung rice sacks ba bago kailangan mo or used na? kung used na sa mga palengke may nagbebenta ng php 4-5 each. yung plastics naman, if malayo yung divi sayo sa blumentritt market mura din

i’ve been googling about wholesalers of rtw, bakay po may alam kayo na mura talaga. yung direct supplier, willing naman po ako bumili in bulk talaga kasi kasali kami sa bazaar this xmas season. mahirap kasi bumili sa resellers kasi syempre may tubo na din dun. hope to get a reply from anyone. salamat
hi romina!
I think I saw these baby bottles in 168 few months ago. 
– Mrs BaratMode
hi negosiyete!

Hi there, i’m looking for acetate boxes or any box with plastic tops for my cupcakes, do you know exact place in divi were i can find them? thanks super
hi sis!
I’m not sure if they have this kind of box in divi, but you can try checking out the packaging stores in the vicinity of divi mall (the stalls outside divi mall). As far as i know, it is RM packaging who manufactures these kind of boxes, it’s in somewhere in Sta. Mesa 
you may also visit their website at http://www.RMBoxes.com – Mrs BaratMode

Hi Bechay! Madami po sa divisoria mall, even sa 168 ng customizable tumblers

– Mrs BaratMode
san po kaya ako makakabili ng murang leopard na tela??
san ba ung tabora??
Hello po! My friend and I are going to Divisoria tomorrow (I know, super late na and marami nang tao pero weekday naman so sana di gaano…) and we’re wondering, meron po bang ganitong jars: http://i15.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/9a/85/2b46_1.JPG doon? And saan po kaya? Kailangan kasi namin sana and yun po yung talagang plan naming bilhin doon…sayang naman if we go and it’s not available.
Hi crissy!
Is this for mineral make-up? i’m not so sure if they have that kind of container but I saw similar containers in Quiapo (stalls that sells beads), i think it’s Wellmanson (or the store name sounds like that hehehe) but they don’t have jars with sifter. Try to search, I think the factory of that kind of jar is somewhere in Araneta Avenue in Quezon City. 
– Mrs BaratMode
Hi em vale! Tabora is a street in Divisoria area. It’s perpendicular to Recto Avenue.
I think you can find that kind of cloth there, or you may try to go to Kamuning market in Quezon City 
hi
we’re preparing for the Christmas party in school. the students range from 700-800 people. the org. only has P14k as budget. so mga P10 per person lang ang budget… what could you suggest na mabibili sa divisoria? yung pwede for either girl or boy. yung magagamit nila and would definitely love it! pls help me! our party’s this week na! HAHA! thanks 
Hi Tricia! Naku super sorry for the late reply. You can get stationary sets (pencil case, eraser, pencil, sharpener, etc.) avialable in different themes. I think you can get a very good price since you’re buying in bulk
