November 23rd, 2007Dear Mr. KIA: I have a major problem here. New Year is almost here and I still can’t figure out where to get a present for my best friend. Lucky enough, I know that she loves to collect pens, letter sets, notebooks and that kind of stuff. Unfortunately, I’m too damn busy to find the hip stationery shops she likes. I desperately need your help! A million thanks and may every day of your new year be blessed! —Hope Emily Doesn’t Read This
Dear HEDRT: Thank you for the good wishes and same to you. What a terrific friend you are! I’m sure Emily would be glad to hear that you are trying so hard to get her the perfect gift. I’ve dug up some great shops that suit your needs. The question is—will you find the time to visit these stores? Enjoy shopping!
Loft is the first place you should try. Since it first appeared in Bangkok in 1997, its black four-letter word on a yellow background became a symbol of limited products, cool gifts and a variety of extraordinary stationery. They have far more than just pens, pencils, rulers and staplers—drop by this shop once and see for yourself.
Good Job Store is a good choice if your friend is the business exec type. The shop has good quality business stationery, including vinyl notebooks, leather organizers, stylish mouse pads and more. Prices range from B200 to B7,000.
Mola located in Siam Square, offers colorful stationery that’s popular among teenagers. Though they don’t have as many products as Good Job, their bright colored notebooks, diaries and photo albums are good options for New Year’s gifts. Prices range from B19 to B600.
Libreria Fine Stationer offers nothing but the best. All stationeries from Crane & Co, Moleskine and Vera Wang are perfect alternatives for your stylish, classy friend.
B2S is where you should head for in case you need something for your frind real fast. Grab a piece of CD, book or whatever, hand it a cashier for a free wrapping and the mission’s done.
