Shopping Experience at Baby Company Grand Baby Fair

I was invited to take a look at the Grand Baby Fair preview yesterday… which feels like just a while ago.. Baby Company Grand Baby Fair opens today until Sunday, that’s January 27-29, 2012. Yesterday it was open to employees and some costumers who can’t wait for Friday 🙂 Some stores are still setting up but most are already rolling and selling!

That’s the registration area at the entrance with a very festive mood.. beside the registration area is the shopping cart station.

First stop is at Ai-NON, because you know, Ai-NON is a friend of ours 🙂 s please guys check them out on Facebook and like Ai-NON Facebook page 🙂

Ainon Baby is a trusted brand of safe , BPA Free, LEAD Free & durable baby products.. so if you’re expecting or have a newborn, stop by at Ai-NON and see what’s store for you and your baby.

After some chitchat with Agnes (Ai-NON), I walked around and take a look on what Grand Baby Fair has to offer this year. It’s more spacious this year than last year. And there are benches now unlike last year.. the stage area is more lively too.

The play area, courtesy of Gymboree is also bigger..

New exhibitors such as Cast & Frame caught my attention.. if you’re into this.. go give it a try 🙂

My favorite baby products were also there and I bought some from them 🙂

Supplies Limited! So hurry!

Mommy Matters was there and I was planning to buy a breastfeeding blouse since some of the blouses were 50% off, some were 30% off.. but I forgot to go back on their stall when I got busy taking picture around.. I’ll have to go back again and get the blouses that I want 🙂

Another exhibitor that caught my attention, my time and yeah my wallet too is Sprint Asia.. what caught my attention is their Nail Polish on display.. ORLY! But they got me to stay on their booth and give their cosmetics products a try:

That’s the products that she used on me.. Wet n Wild is exclusively distributed on Watsons.. I bought two Orly Nail Polish and 2 different eyeshadow palettes from Wet n Wild and a bronzer.. I’ll be experimenting a sun kissed make up soon! 🙂

Baby Company Grand Baby Fair is much like shopping haven to expectant moms and to moms with kid 0-3 years old. It’s your one stop shop to all your baby caring needs.. and not just in terms of baby clothing, diapers, vitamins and baby furniture and other baby essentials, exhibitor like Medela offers help in terms of breastfeeding, booth with Parenting magazines and books from Summit is also available. There’s also a booth for those who are considering cord banking as well as a special breastfeeding station. And of course they have a line up of talks about parenting, caring for your baby and other topics moms will be interested. The stage will be used for this activities and celebrity moms will be there too to share their experiences, there would be experts that will surely be of great help to all moms who will attend the fair.

After almost 2 hours of non stop walking and a bit shopping, this concludes my day:

Necessities for the kids.. I also bought two sets of pillows, each set contains 2.. from 900+ I got it for 450+ each set 🙂 My total purchase 2000+ PhP excluding the beauty products that I bought from Sprint Asia.. and so I got my own swag bag!

Take a look on what’s inside.. that’s 2000 worth of items! yay!!!

You can get a free swag bag too! single receipt of 2000 PhP entitles you to one swag bag.. items that was paid inside (such as Sprint Asia products, Ceelin) are not included on the swag bag promo.. aside from the swag bag, Mom Card members gets a free cell phone holder.. wow! that’s a lot of freebies in one day!

Grand Baby Fair officially starts today, err, later today I mean. See you later at Baby Company Grand Baby Fair.

Tiger Energy Playground (First Ever in the Philippines!)

When I received an invite to witness the launching of the first ever Energy Playground in the country, I was excited..it was very interesting. Imagine a playground that transforms the kids energy to electrical energy.. I want to know how they did it.. I mean with 5 kids full of energy, we might even have our own source of electrical energy. hahaha

The first ever energy Playground is a collaboration between Tiger energy Biscuits (Kraft)* and the students of Mapua Institute of Technology. The team from Mapua is made up of Electrical Engineering thesis advisers Engr. Michael Pacis, Engr. Conrad Ostia, Engr. Ronald Santiago and Engr. Mark Christian Manuel; and students John Ray Abad, Merryll Capucao, Lynette Dane Legaspi, Jovan Barrago, Jeffrey Adams Uy, Daniel Oliver Calapatia, and Dave Bautista.

The Energy Playground has two playground element (seesaw and merry go round) that turns the energy produced in playing with it into electrical energy that is stored in a battery and can be used up to 36 hours (for every 24 hours play). Although the science behind it is difficult to explain, the mechanism is really simple, each time a child or two played on the seesaw (for example), the up and down energy produced is stored and made into electrical energy.

The first ever Energy Playground is donated to Hospicio de San Jose

“We chose to donate the Tiger Energy Playground to Hospicio de San Jose to remind the children here that they have not been forgotten this Christmas, and that there is reason for them to be hopeful for a bright future. Hopefully soon, the Playground will also be able to help Hospicio in its operations, by helping provide part of its power consumption so that their monthly electricity bill can be reduced.” said Carlo Licuanan, Kraft Foods Category Marketing Manager for Biscuits

I was not able to attend the said event due to menstrual cramps, but I would not want to miss it so I send my sister to cover it for me.. All photos are from her site: Freebies Overload

Tiger Energy Biscuit is the delicious and nutritious biscuit made of wheat and with milk and has the 9 vitamins and 6 minerals of Enermaxx. This unique combination helps give your child the energy he needs for the entire day. The concept of the Tiger Energy Playground merges the benefits kids get from the brand, with the ability to convert energy into a commodity that can benefit a community. – from Press Release
