What a treat!

Yes, indeed it was a treat to see these “balikbayan boxes” this morning…

So giddy happy! These are all for our little one! We purchased most of baby stuff in the US through Amazon. Thanks for the in-laws for fixing everything for us! The boxes arrived door-to-door to our place after taking a month of sea freight. Worth the wait and the cost. I believe we still made a huge savings by getting most of the items from there because prices of baby products here are ridiculous.  We will be fixing everything this weekend! Can’t wait!

Ok, I just have to say this…Both Amazon and Babies ‘R Us are my favorite sites this time. I had finished making my list of baby items to purchase and I am giddy happy with all the deals I am getting from both sites. Ok, I’m really a happy camper with regards to shopping. And what a convenience it is to shop online and get some free shipping! There are a number of items in my carts from both stores and it keeps adding. It’s like the barcode scanners for the products keep on blinking every time I see something that I would like to buy!

I finally bought the following items:

1. Graco Pack n Play with Bassinet and Changing Table
2. Avent Bottles
3. Avent Nipples
4. Avent Sterilizer
5. Avent Pacifier
6. Bumbo Baby Seat
7. Swaddle Me Blankets
8. First Year Infant-Toddler Tub

Ok, now deciding on breast pumps, baby carrier/car seat and stroller. It’s making me indecisive with these three items. Still spending countless hours researching and reading reviews. I hope to be able to decide soon.


With the rising cost of gas prices, most shoppers are now trying an easy and convenient way to shop and that is through online shopping. A few years ago this concept was not well received by computer users because of privacy issues but with the latest upgrades ensuring customers that their personal information are safe and secured, it has become a growing trend not just in the US but in other countries as well.

Online shopping is ideal for individuals with a busy work and lifestyle. If you are someone who can’t find the time to hit the mall or grocery for a few items, you can easily get everything you need with just a few mouse clicks. It also saves you from wasting time in long lines and traffic especially during the busy Holidays season. Now finding a gift could be relatively easy as websites have different product categories to make the search stress free.

Another perks of online shopping is that it provides you the opportunity to compare prices from different websites in order to get the best deals. With traditional shopping you’re only provided with limited selection but online stores carry a wide variety of choices. These are just some of the reasons why online shopping is becoming a trend among smart shoppers who wish to save on money and energy.

Great news…

from Williams-Sonoma, one of my favorite home stores in the US. They are now shipping to the Philippines! Woohoo! :D  I just love it! Now, I cannot wait to check out the clearance items in their site so I can order already. What’s great about it is that they even convert the cost of the items in Pesos.

So what are you waiting for? If you are a home-hag like me, hover to their site now and have something shipped to you already! Loving the perks of online shopping! ;)

Black Friday Sale 2010

Yes, I am looking forward for this year’s black friday sale again. Last year, I remember having a list of things I would like to buy online. This year, I haven’t really started my list but my friends and I were exchanging notes already on what to watch out from our favorite stores. Aside from our own personal stuff and the usual clothes and toys I get for my kids, I am actually looking for some 100 christmas gift ideas under $20. I am not yet done with my christmas gift shopping so I am hoping I could get nice gifts for our family and friends.

1st Activity!

for the trip… Shopping! Yey! Yes it’s the first order of the day upon arrival in Temecula. I look forward to it as I would like to get the kids new clothes and shows. Also, I am hoping we could check out crate and barrel as well as I would like to get new stuff for the kitchen. We would definitely be going home with a box instead as I already ordered online some outdoor cushions for our lawn! Aside from get-together with families, I admit shopping is also I am looking forward to!
