We Are Family

My sister is asking me for gift suggestions as they will be visiting their officemate who recently gave birth. I told her to give a nappy cake. We can make one for her and she and her other team mates can share with the gift. She thought it would be a nice idea. The other suggestions are gift baskets.

Then I hear her say, what’s that? I told her that gift baskets usually contain food items, wines or other stuff depending on the theme. It can be personalized so that it will create memorable and special moments. They have their own unique and beautiful presentation.

I remember seeing one of those great looking gift baskets at gifttree.com. It accepts Paypal and other major credit cards. I hope that my sister and her team mates will find the perfect gift to give.

We are planning to go to Ilocos to visit my parents sometime this August. I hope it pushes through as it has been months since we last saw them. Lately, they’ve been getting sick and I worry a lot because they do not have any other companion at home.

I’m also looking at some pasalubong to bring home. While browsing the net, I saw a very nice line of leather goods from Johnston and Murphy. I’m pretty sure my dad would love their bags and wallets. Just sharing this information as some of you might be looking for gifts to give to the men of their lives.

My eyes just twinkle whenever I read the word SALE. Who wouldn’t? It is our chance to buy things cheaper and save some money. Recently, I’ve learned the joys of online shopping and one way to save in this aspect is to be on the lookout for websites that announces whenevers there are sales.

The other way to save is to use coupons and coupon codes. Some offer free shipping while others can give around 25% discount. Isn’t that great? I heard that there will be a SALE event on a lot of stores on the 4th of July. I’m listing the things that I want to buy and I’m going to hunt for bargains.

I hope I can buy that Crocs Alice or Malindi soon.

I’m helping a friend in the US find the best engagement ring to give her girlfriend. He will finally ask her to marry him and we are so thrilled. But as expected men can be so clueless about diamonds and diamond rings so I’m helping him out.

One of the best sites to look at is jamesallen.com. They have comprehensive styles of engagement rings to choose from. There are those made from platinum and there are those from gold. They also offer free shipping and you can return it within 30 days if it doesn’t match your expectations.

I’m sure he can find something there that will captivate both their hearts and would leave her spellbound.

I looked at the calendar this morning and I was surprised how fast time flies. We’re already halfway through May. And I only got a week to prepare for our 3rd wedding anniversary. I’m still thinking what to give to M0rn1ng.

I know he wanted to have one of those nice iPods. So I was searching online. It is cheaper to buy at online shops then I can have it delivered at his sister’s place. I found this great site called shopwiki.com. It is the best place to look for things that you want to buy. It will search all the stores in the worldwide web carrying the products on your search.

I also tried searching nike slippers and lacoste shirts and I was very pleased with the results.  I’m not telling what I’m getting, it’s supposed to be a surprise.

I love shoes but don’t all women do? If I have to forgo practicality or if I have lots of money to spend, I’d have lots of shoes too. Lots mean more than my fingers on the hand and feet combined. Hahaha!

But one thing I hate about new shoes was the blisters on my feet because of this. This is the reason why I’m also careful in choosing what to buy. I usually go for the comfortable and soft ones.

I’m happy to find out that there is what they call Blister Treatment. Now, we can wear any shoes we like without the fear of having blisters. Cool eh?

March is the month of graduations. Sometimes it is April but I think for this year it will be March as they want to start the holiday right after the Holy week. We have one friend who is graduating from elementary school and I’m thinking of a nice gift to give.

Thank goodness there is couponchief.com. It is a one stop coupon deal and discount resource. I’m thinking of giving a nice pair of shoes from Shoebuy. They’ve got coupon’s that gives 20% off and there’s another one that give 65% on shoes, free shipping and no Sales tax.

Or I might buy something from Old Navy. They’ve got great bargains on clothes.

I’m sure our friend will be happy to receive something on his graduation.

I love lockets. I find them nice even whether they are Gold Lockets or Silver Lockets. Take a look at this beautiful one.

My fascination for it may be brought about by the romantic portrayal of this piece of jewelry from movies. Remember, Titanic and the like? I like it especially if it can be engraved with names.

I am looking to buy a new watch. Mine got busted and it doesn’t work even if we brought it to the repair shop. I’ve been using Morn1ng’s Adidas watch for a year now. It’s okay for casual clothes but I have nothing to wear during formal occasions.

I was browsing thetimezone.com to see the brand and style that I like and raymond weil watches caught my fancy. I know that this brand is very durable as my Mom has an RW watch and it’s been working for more than ten years now. I specifically like this design.

It looks really nice don’t you think? I need to save some money to buy this cutie.

I’ve been seeing the following messages on some of my friend’s blog lately:
                                      Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical
                                      Great Discovery: Zenni Optical

I’m intrigued on what it has to offer so I decide to visit the site and take a look. I was surprised to see this Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses.

It looks great and sturdy yet the price is so reasonable. I suggest you visit the site for your optical needs.

We’ll be receiving our sick leave conversion next payday. Yipeeee! Our company pays us with our unused sick leave that are in excess of five days. What’s good with this is that it is tax-free, so that’s one of the reasons why all of us avoid calling in sick. Hahaha!

I’m looking at CouponChief.com to see if there are discounts on women’s shoes. I would like to reward myself for staying healthy and being disciplined enough to go to work even if I don’t feel like it.

I saw these Steve Madden Coupons.  They are offering 75% off on selected merchandise. And look what I found for only $30? It’s at 70% off the original price.

I also search if there are old navy coupons and I was glad to see that there are baby boy bargains. I’ll try to search if I could find something for our little boy.  Oh! shopping can be really fun.

I have secret to tell. I have a penchant for boots. Too bad we can’t wear them often in a tropical country like ours. I was browsing the web and chanced upon these very nice looking Emu Australia boots. It is made from premium sheepskin and they look so adorable. They will surely keep your feet ward during cold weather. Oh if only we have winter here.

I’m so happy because I have crossed one item in my to do list. We went to Blissfulbabes showroom last Friday and I was able to buy these.

I love their nursing wears because they are all very stylish and the materials are nice.  I even got to talk to the owner, Buding Aquino because she was at hoe that time wrapping gifts with her husband.  She’s a breastfeeding advocate too and a member of LATCH.

We have a difficult time finding their place at Valle Verde because we’re not familiar with that area.  Then we did not bring any car and getting a taxi was so difficult so we ended up commuting.  We also braved the long walk from the gate to their place.  Haaaay kapagod talaga.  but when I saw all their clothes na excite ako and nawala ang pagod ko. hahaha!  Good thing I did not bring extra money because for sure I will spend it all.

Now I know the best route to go there was ride a shutttle service from Makati going to Valley Golf.  Then get off at the overpass at C5.  Enter the Valle Verde 1 Gate 2.  Their place is a short walk from there.  Here is the exact address if you’re interested to visit their shop :  32 Caimito St, Greenvalley Townhomes, Valle Verde 1.  You may call Joy or Cecille at 671 5826 to set an appointment.
