MANILA, Philippines — “Sex sells, but cute sells more.”

Such is the claim of a study that found out that something cute would get more response from people.

As such, in the spirit of the Labubu and other “kawaii” crazes, comes the Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko, which is among those that capitalizes on the “cute” phenomenon with its wide assortment of quirky items — from homeware to toys, beauty, travel, and gadgets, among others — at affordable prices.

Looking for cute but inexpensive gifts for Christmas? Check out some of these affordable finds from the store’s opening day in Glorietta 2, Makati City last week:
