Cebu's great buys: Souvenirs and all

Where to find the newest, cutest and cheapest souvenirs whenever you visit Cebu? It is not in Colon St., Carbon Market or even in the malls but in this souvenir shop behind the Sto. Niño Basilica. I don't have any idea that it really exists nor even know the name of this shop but they really have the best bargains in the city. From the favorite souvenir shirts, bags, and accessories to the famous Cebu guitars, shell chimes, sarong and cute keychains are all here.

Other souvenir shops cost doubled the price and sometimes you force to forget other people from having your souvenirs from Cebu because you tend to limit the number of pieces since its too expensive. Here you will spend just enough of your budget with tons to bring at home. 

Imagine most shops offer you a deal of 3 pieces of keychains for Php100.00 while you can have each keychain for only Php10.00. Bags from Php300 - 500.00 each while you can have here from a starting price of Php100 - 200.00.

The best deal is you can bargain your total cost for a lesser price.
