(SPOT.ph) Living away from the capital, it’s easy to feel like we’ve missed out, especially when it comes to online shopping. Even with discount vouchers, those pesky shipping fees are hardly ever completely reduced to zero and can sometimes feel prohibitive for those of us who’d much rather stick to a budget. Not to worry, because we’ve found a dozen of Cebuano brands with the cutest products—perfect for gift options or simply rewarding yourself.

You can find something for you on this list of shopping finds in Cebu:
