Corporate Giveaways and Gifts Stores
It’s the gift-giving season once again and I am sure you still might be hunting for gifts for your friends, family and even clients, like me.
While it is a dream of mine to have a corporate giveaways company, this article will tell you where you can get corporate giveaways, tokens, promotional items and other customized items in Gensan.
1. Memento in KCC- It’s where you can get gift items and order customized notebooks, invites and boxes.
2. Prints and You in KCC- You can have your logo, text or pictures printed on mugs, shirts, keychain, plates and the like.
3. Print Factory (at the back of Hyundai, National Highway) – Nearest thing in Gensan for a corporate giveaways store. This is where I have my embroidery and silk screening done for customized promotional items and marketing materials.
4. Roi’s Bag Supply (Recto St.)- They make and repair bags and even print your logos or text on it.
Happy shopping!

Spas abound in Gensan!
I have previously written about salons that I go to. Some of my choices have changed over the years. This is because, well, a lot of salons have evolved from just the hair and mani-pedi places but more of salon, spa manicure and pedicure destinations where you can practically stay in the salon all day and not run out of things to do.
My needs are basic: haircut, pedicure, wax, massage, facial.
Nowadays, I go to Envy Me Salon in Robinsons for my haircut and pedicure. For my facial, I go between Skin Perfect and Envy Me now as well. I recently tried Envy Me’s wax and facial, thanks to my Donna, and I have moved my patronage to them since.
I know they must be doing a good job because the salon is busy everytime I go there and sometimes have to wait for my preferred staff for spa manicure and pedicure. For massage, it’s Tanton Thai Massage on Osmena and Red Tropical Spa just at the back of Robinsons. Tanton if it’s a quick 30-minute destresser (if there’s such a word) foot massage and Red Tropical Spa for the whole body pampering. I so love these places! They just got the perfect “hagod” for me.
Nail polish and manicure for the rare special occasion. Hair treatments too although I do prefer to just keep my hair as untouched as possible these days.
While I prefer my spa and salon services simple, I would soon like to try body scrub and diamond peel for my face. My friends swear by it so I’m practically sold.

Choco Loca, New Cafe Along Osmena
Choco Loca is a small cafe along Osmena right in front of DTI office. Its main product being their Filled Buns. These little buns can be filled with chocolate, custard or vanilla and their other filling choices.
I also tried their Hot Chocolate which turned out to be heaven in a cup. It was decadent and really, really pleasant for a weary soul.
They also serve rice meals and sandwiches. Their shrimp cakes are yummy with an egg-tomato-vinegar salad on the side. It’s a must-try!
So if you are looking for a good lunch place in the Osmena-Quirino Area, do try Choco-Loca.
Happy eating!
