       According to its proprietor, Love Boat carries wholesale products that match global trends. They come from places like Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and as far away as Europe and America. You will be giddy with euphoria just looking at the hundreds and hundreds of dolls, costume jewelry, hanging decorative items, bags and other products. When you browse further, you will find day-to-day utilitarian items, including car accessories, bath and kitchen items, small chairs, phone covers and much more. Interestingly, Love Boat also sells premium gifts offered by department stores, banks and the various local commercial firms.
       Mega-sized teddy bears measuring about 120 centimeters cost under NT$3,000. Want an even bigger doggie for the same price? You have come to the right place. Be it a cute animal bag (NT$60) or toddler's chair (NT$490), Love Boat's prices are only half of what you would normally pay. Therefore, whether you are shopping for your convocation ceremony, Valentine's Day, Christmas, or your company's corporate gifts, Love Boat is the answer. Even retailers from out of town flock to this place to hand in their orders.
