PSA: You Can Get a Mystery Bag at National Book Store for Only P299

(SPOT.ph) A big reason why everyone loves blind boxes is the thrill of not knowing what you're going to get until you rip apart that packaging. Who doesn't love a good mystery every once in a while? While National Book Store already has titles that give you that same excitement and anticipation, they're set to make shopping for school and office supplies even more fun through their new "mystery bags."

It's a blind box, but instead of cute figures and characters that are mostly displayed or hung on, you'll get random school and office supplies, stationery, and arts and crafts items. And instead of a little box, it's in a new, equally collectible bag.

Each mystery bag (P299) will contain an assortment of items worth at least P600. No bag is going to be the same, but rest assured that these will be items from bestselling and trusted brands like Best Buy and will be useful, be it for work, school, or analog hobbies. The bags will be available until supplies last.

For the arts and crafts enjoyers, keeping the paper bags might be routine already, but as we've said, the bags are something to keep too—gone are the plain, brown paper bags we grew accustomed to seeing. These bags come in new, must-have designs featuring beloved classics, like Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Homer's The Iliad, among others. The white paper bags are printed with colored illustrations featuring famous quotes on the other side.

National Book Store's Mystery Bags, priced at P299, are available until supplies last at select NBS branches. National Book Store is available online through their website, and official Shopee and Lazada pages. National Book Store has branches nationwide.
