Pylones: The Place for Unique Gifts

The search for the perfect gift can sometimes be likened to the proverbial hunt for a needle in a haystack, especially if the person you are gifting seems to have everything she needs, or whose lifestyle or age you cannot really relate with, or if you just don’t have time to shop.  As a thoughtful gift giver, you want to give something that can be appreciated, used, or that would stand out, and there’s a deluge of choices and possibilities for such gift items in French gift shop Pylones (pronounce as “pee-loan”) Pylones is like a candy store with all the sweet finds, bright colors to stimulate the senses, and small quirky treats for different types of  personalities.  It opened in Manila last July in Power Plant Mall and now has two other branches located in Glorietta, Ayala Center Makati, and SM Aura in Taguig. https://www.flickr.com/photos/juicevillanueva/11938219104/player/c0a1df7bee

Here are some gift suggestions for the season- unique and quirky, in signature Pylones style:

For the Foodie-in-Training: Mayday Dining Set

Give the tot learning to love veggies a fun food trip with these Top Gun utensils. At least peas and quinoa won’t experience turbulence when heading into their mouths.

For the Bathroom Diva: Bloom Bath Sponge

Soak in fabulousness with bath poofs made to look like big-haired beauties. These stand-up sponges (equipped with suction cups) guarantee the friend who sings in the shower doesn’t leave the tub a washed-up star.

For the Kooky Commuter: Rain Parade Umbrella

In nine styles that include blue-clad fisherman and vamp in red, these character-driven umbrellas are made to reign over the rain! For those always on the go, an offbeat foil to bad weather.

For the Friend Who Works and Plays Hard: A4 Zip Folder

With designs that span garden gingham and grocery cartoons, these zippered folders put the fun in filing. Perfect for the serious, semi-charmed office worker.

Leave it to the one-stop shop for one-offs to spread the Christmas cheer (and queer) with these quirky gift ideas. Even better, avoid the holiday hustle and bustle by ordering online.
