But it's easy to get lost and waste time in this vast shopping mecca. To guide you, here are a few streets to remember when shopping at Divi, according to report on Unang Balita on Wednesday.

 

Head over to M. De Santos Street between Ilaya and Tamora Streets to bring the cheer of the Christmas spirit in your home. This street offers a wide range of holiday knickknacks that can turn your home into a winter wonderland or a simple abode that shows Paskong Pinoy.

For other home decors, walk to Ilaya Street where you can find curtains for P100-P200, pillowcases that are sold from P35 to P50, and table runners to brighten your Noche Buena spread for only P250-P350. Many of these items carry Christmas themes that go well with your holiday decor.  

 

Now to shop for your loved ones, you can also find stuffed toys for P50-P120. 

 

But if you prefer to give something practical, go to Claro M. Recto Avenue, a main road in Divisoria that sells ready-to-wear clothes.
