Gift Card Co is the newest gift card company in the metro. They offer a wide variety of gift cards and checks to choose from. I am so lucky to have come across their website, www.giftcardco.ph Because of this, I can shop ’til I drop… I mean, shop in the comforts of my home! Hehehe! With gift cards, I don’t need to go through the hassle of deciding what shoe size or shirt color to give. More so, no hassle of wrapping and carrying bulky presents.

Gift Card Co. is just the answer to my Christmas list dilemma right now. They are indeed a one-stop shop. They have cards and checks for recreation, food, and apparel. For the health buff, a gift card from Fitness First will suit them. Those who are into sports would appreciate GCs from Nike Stadium or Planet Sports. Those kikay girls like me would go for The Spa, Lay Bare, Celebrity Nails, and Blow Up Babies Now, the ultimate safe present to give…FOOD! Give GCs from TGIFridays, Italianni’s, Bulgogi Brothers, Krazy Garlic, Crustasia, Sugarhouse, or Red Mango. These are just some of the brands to choose from.

Why visit 30 stores when all you need is just 1 store? Gift Card Co. truly has got the mall on a rack. Shopping has never been this convenient. Now, that’s the power of gift cards!

P.S.
Those who are still itching to go to the malls, you can visit Gift Card Co. at the 4th floor of Eastwood Mall until Dec 24. They’re open ’til midnight.

You can also check out their Facebook in this link. Be a fan to get a regular dose of updates on new brands, promos, and tie-ups.

Happy Shopping!

Manila’s finest fashion bloggers will leave their laptops at home once again to attend BLOGGERS UNITED BAZAAR (Part 2) on December 3, 2011 (this Saturday!) at Treston International College, Taguig, this coming holiday season. Due to insistent demand from readers and bloggers alike, Bloggers United team in partnership with the country’s largest online shopping website, Multiply Philippines have gathered Manila’s fashion bloggers to sell their pre-loved but very stylish closet pieces! This is my first time to join, making me really excited! Aside from the fact that there would be a ton of fashion bloggers selling, the prices are incredibly low! I’m excited to bond with my fellow bloggers, sell my clothes and bags, and of course, shop!!! LOL!

This event is the perfect opportunity for both bloggers and their adoring readers to mingle and personally interact with each other. Fun contests and exciting giveaways from sponsors and entertaining performances from bloggers (Walkie Talkies, Reese & Vica) themselves will definitely keep this event from being a dull one.

Some of the notable bloggers attending the event include Divine Lee, Laureen Uy, Kookie Buhain, Lissa Kahayaon, David Guison, Karl Leuterio, Patricia Prieto and Preview Magazine’s own Daryl and Andre Chang.

But because Bloggers United wishes to go beyond the geographic limitations of the archipelago and extend its reach beyond Metro Manila and so for this event, they are flying in some of Cebu’s very own fashion bloggers which include Kryz Uy, Eden Villarba, designer Yves Camingue, Gillian Uang and Mildred Zapanta and a few more.

Part of the proceeds from this event will go to the GMA Kapuso Foundation for its school building project, a small but significant step to improve the Filipino youth’s access to education.

The organizers behind BLOGGERS UNITED BAZAAR (PART 2) are Ana Gonzales, Melai Entuna and Aisa Ipac, a team of blogger friends encouraging camaraderie and sense of “community” among Manila’s (and eventually, the country’s) fashion blogging community through events and productions like this.

This is a one-day-only event that you shouldn’t really miss! It will be in a bigger venue with twice more the number of participating bloggers to meet! This is the perfect shopping day this Christmas because the most affordable and most fashionable clothes, accessories and footwear will be up for grabs. See you!

I used to collect perfumes when I was in high school (so that was __ years ago… haha!). And when I say “collect”, I buy even if I still have both opened and unopened bottles of perfumes displayed on my vanity table. Aside from the fact that it can make one smell sooo sooo good, I was so into the sleek perfume bottles. It was my thing. I had to stop because it’s such an expensive addiction. I mean, I don’t get to use everything. It’s such a waste. Let’s face it, perfumes here in the Philippines (when bought in department stores) are more expensive compared to buying abroad. I’m one of those who are scared to buy from other perfume retailers because I might get a fake one. I’d rather buy from department stores, even if it means paying more. So obviously, I had to stop my craziness after a few years. LOL!

How I wish my friend, Martha, started her business back then! I’d like to share with you guys her online perfume shop, Le Perfumerie. I know, I just said I don’t buy perfumes just about anywhere. Well, that’s because I don’t know who to trust! And since she’s my friend, I’m very much sure she sells authentic perfumes! Hehe! She really guarantees all her items are authentic, or your money back! What’s even better is she sells them at affordable prices- meaning definitely cheaper than department store prices! Weee! Finally!!!

Now, should I go back to my addiction??? Hmmm… Maybe not now. Too many priorities as of the moment! I’m more reasonable now. I only buy when my bottle is starting to run out. Now I know where to get my next! Thanks Martha!

For all of you who wants to buy authentic perfumes at great prices, check out Le Perfumerie House of Affordable Scents.

Oh my, I would love to go, but I’ll be out of the country during that time. Well, my vacation would have been a good timing since I already professed a shopping ban, especially on clothes and accessories. I have to prioritize all the make-up stuff I need for my profession. In fact, I purposely scheduled my Hong Kong trip to buy some of my makeup there. I’ve never ever thought that my makeup collection would grow sooo fast in just a span of 2-3 weeks! So fast that they don’t fit my huge train case anymore! In fact, I’m in search of another make-up case again! Now I’m wondering what’s left for me to buy in Hong Kong… Or probably more of, I’m wondering if I still have the moolah left to shop for more makeup. Haha! Oh, and guess what?! It’s Hong Kong’s grand sale when I get there! Great! So I guess I’m not really missing much when we talk about sale… But I’m pretty sure I don’t have the moolah anymore for Topshop’s sale when I get back. LOL!

Now, duHub shop allows you to be an insider to the fashion industry. They have created a space about styling and fashion tips from their resident stylist and featured model of the month. I’m also surprised how their vendors are growing, meaning there are more choices for us, shopaholics!

Oh, you can get a sneak peek of the stuff they’re selling in this behind the scenes video for duHub shop’s June 2011 Campus Charmer Collection Photoshoot.

And for those who aren’t familiar with Crocs products, they don’t only sell those big shell-like sandals. They also have something for the fashionistas and travel junkie. I, for one, bought a pair in one of Crocs’ sale last year and I tell yah, it’s very comfortable! It’s my ultimate travel companion, as seen in this post.
