If you’re looking for unique, non-mass-produced & affordable Filipino gifts for your balikbayan relatives & friends, may I suggest checking out some items from my shop<\/a>? \ud83d\ude42 I admit that in my early years as a graphic designer, it was always a struggle for me to create work that was distinctly Pinoy (unlike my husband Arnold<\/a> who is an expert<\/em> at it — it was all over his TEDx talk<\/a> too). When I started drawing though, the Filipino themes in my mostly pop culture themed work came out naturally. Whodathunkit? So here’s a list of the stuff I have that I believe would make nice gifts for relatives & friends based abroad who may be missing the Philippines. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Philippine Fruits and Flowers Note Card Set<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The design for this note card set<\/a> is a pattern composed of Philippine fruits that I remember eating as a kid – atis, macopa, rambutan, chesa, duhat, mabolo, santol, sinigwelas, calamansi, etc. It’s sad that most of these fruits are not commonly found in grocery stores so I felt I had to pay tribute to and raise some awareness for them somehow by way of these drawings. A Pinoy Fruits sticker set<\/a>\u00a0(below) is also available at the shop.<\/p>\n
