Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, trips. Many are the reasons why you may find yourself in need of a present. If you are tired of always giving out the same old unimaginative gifts, try stopping by one of these stores. We guarantee you will enjoy your visit!

Passatge del Temps

Passatge del Temps is a part of Barcelona’s Wax Museum that works as a shop. Enter to find exquisite gifts or simply to appreciate the pieces which are so creative, you will feel like you have just entered another museum.

The avant-garde store is located at Passagte Blanca, number 7, right between the Wax Museum and Bosc de les Fades.

To get to the store take the green line (L3) of the subway, exiting at Drassanes, or buses number 14, 36, 38, 57, 64, 91.

Tiger

Do you need a carry-on fan that sprays water on you? A book where a pebble gives you life advice? How about a moustached nose that can hold your glasses when you are not wearing them? Tiger has them all and more! This Danish store offers items in different sections like party, summer, do it yourself, stationery, kids, bath, kitchen, decoration, electronic items and snacks.

Take a walk through the maze-like corridors of the store and fall in love with a million and one items that will make you smile, laugh, go “awww!” or simply “wow, that is a good idea!”. The prices are incredibly low, with a variety of items costing 1 euro, including ice creams and two-for-one bottles of water for the hotter days.
