You know how they say shopping goes on the back burner when one becomes a mom?
Well, that’s not necessarily true. We moms could never resist a good bargain (After all, we’re still ladies!), especially when it has to do with baby essentials and cutely accessories for our little ones.
Which is why I’m excited to share to you mommas and daddies one of the biggest baby bazaars to happen in Manila this 2012! On November 9, from 4pm-10pm, the FIlipinas Heritage Library in Makati turns into a gigantic bargain hub as Mommy Sellers Events Management, together with Medela Moms, Make Believe Productions,Ton of Fun and Jellybean’s Costume Closet bring you Baby Carnival: A Pre-Christmas Bazaar.
Gathering over 25 of the country’s most promising microentrepreneurs and online sellers, this exciting bazaar will feature hard-to-find brand new and pre-loved baby and parenting items such as cloth and disposable diapers, breastfeeding covers, books, toys, nursing bottles, hair accessories and more – all at discounted prices you wouldn’t find elsewhere!
Included in the roster of participating vendors are Little Darla Couture, Mom Baby Fabric, The Sweet Bee Unlimited, Baby Love Studio, Mommy Matters, Bug&Kelly, Keisha Ysabel, The Princess Boutique, GPG Bulilit Bookstore, Little Princess Couture, Melanie Sumalinog, Three Little Piglets, Moms of Payatas Foundation, All Mine Clothes Store, Ciocalato Cupcakery, Rosemarie Soriano, Shainne Chan and tons more.
Families will also be treated to fun activities including costume fitting and photobooth use, face painting and storytelling sessions, balloon darts, plus free cotton candy and a ring toss booth, courtesy of event sponsors.
And if you ever get hungry from the 6-hour bargain hunting, don’t worry for there will be a variety of food and drink stalls to sate your appetite.
