Christmas Tree
The Christmas tree that hubby and I saw at the VP Mall three weeks ago while we were scouting for affordable new decors. I wish we could have a budget for this. Just thinking and wishing if we could have a different tree this year, I’d get something like this. The VP department store has tree designers that you could hire. But for me I could not afford them because we are on a tight budget right now. Maybe I am just going to find new transparent lights and fill up our tree with so many lights. I like a tree of lights and not much on Christmas tree decors. (more…)
Looking For
Looking for a Halloween costume in local stores and suppliers is not that easy especially if you want ready-made and in a design you like. I have been looking for a Harry Potter costume for kids but could not find an RTW of it in the stores in the city. Last week I settled for a pirate captain costume like that of Jack Sparrow but which reminds me more of those English or British colonial man just like those I have seen in movies with settings at that time and age. Anyway, hubby was happy for the choice I made. The one we saw at SM just a few days ago was the only one left and was lacking the boots cover. I had to haggle for the price but since the store won’t lower the price even if it lacked one item in the package, I just had to settle for it because of all the costumes that the little guy tried on, this is the one he liked and the quality of the cloth is far better than the others. He looked cute and adorable in it and I am proud many people adored him for the two days that we had a trick or treat at the AMall. (more…)
Christmas Display
Stores around town and in the malls are busy with their Christmas season store display. I have passed by the one of the popular national bookstores and they already have more and more Christmas stuff on display upfront.
As with the supermarket, I saw some store merchandisers busy arranging their point of purchase displays to showcase their products for one section of the supermarket dedicated for Christmas food items and other stuff. By next month after the All Saints Day holiday, I expect to see more Christmas stuff on display. It would start to get tempting to do some early Christmas shopping. I just hope that financial blessings will pour in to meet that among more important things.
