6 more days till Christmas...and if you're like me and are forever procrastinating w/ respect to Christmas gift shopping, this latest post shall help you out a little bit. Though I haven't exactly had time to go to the shops yet, I've found idle time at work to do some canvassing online to at least narrow down my gift ideas.
It also really helps that if you've been a shop-a-holic at one point in your life (I know you guys are thinking "yeah right, you're STILL a shop-a-holic" but seriously, haven't had the time! *Sob*) then you end up on all these great mailing lists that inform you about sales, promos, and the like. Before I get to that, though, let me tell you about this really informative link that was sent to me http://www.allgiftsonlineinfo.com/, which breaks down potential gifts into categories either by brand, industry or even personalized options. While the site itself could use a little upgrade on the web design (I'm just keepin' it real), it turned out to be a Godsend. It really pays attention to detail when it comes to providing readers/visitors with virtually endless gift suggestions. They even give you information on how to get different types of gift certificates for those that have to deal w/ uber-picky gift receivers (I can almost feel some of you nodding your heads and saying "UH HUH") and would like to give them the freedom to choose their own gifts. So there you have it, visit that site and get your gifts in a few click, clicks!
Now for the sales and promos. This first will seem a bit un-Divanity-like for me, but keep in mind that I do have a mommy alter-ego, so I would like to inform you guys about the the 1-week Holiday Rush Special Offers at Toys R Us only at Robinson's Galleria, December 19-25. I received the heads-up from our buddy down at Toys R Us, Ms. Lea Crisostomo. And hey, it's inevitable that we will all have to buy gifts for kids, even for those of us that aren't mommies. You can avail of this great bargain for your little sisters and brothers or your boyfriends (the big kids). Check out the poster below for more details:
As for the non-children gifts, I was informed by our dear friend Lai Del Ro about a holiday sale of up to 30% on the hottest clothing items and 20% on Las Rojas shoes at http://dashwearables.com
Shop for all your sisters, lady friends and colleagues for affordable dresses and shoes that they can rip open and change into on Christmas eve (there are some adorable dresses that look so Christmassy!)
I suggest you book appointments to visit the store so that you can have gifts-on-hand, but take note that this sale is only for members so be sure to sign up first on the site. I know you love me now, Lai. :)
I have also received word from our girlfriend, Anne Nayve, who is in charge of promos/events of Ayala Malls about this special offer on interior decoration items at Trinoma. You can bless your friends and fam's homes with new, ultra chic furniture! Always hated all the ancient, wooden pieces in your parent's house that probably carry spirits from the 1800s? Bring new life to their humble abodes.
Plus, from December 19-23, all Ayala Malls are open until midnight. If that's not enough time to shop then sweetie, you are shopping for too many people! Hehe.
Okay, so we have covered: online gift shopping, purchasing of gifts for kids, big kids (boyz II men. teehee), ladies, and even the parentals. I'll be sure to update you further should I receive more holiday promo info, but I do hope this post serves as a big help to you considering most sales that malls provide are pre-Christmas sales that wrap up in the first week of December.
Good luck to you ladies, happy shopping, and advanced Merry Christmas to all! It's Christmas Crunch Time!
With love & divanity,
Monique
