Holiday Trade Show 2011 (Richwell and Europlay)

Last July, I got an invite from Richwell for their Holiday Trade Show 2011, no idea what it was but since I love most Richwell exported toys, I just said yes. Come August 17 and my day was packed. My initial plan of a quick visit turned into an afternoon of fun with Levy of Living Life to the Fullest and Karen from Richwell. It”s in WackWack Country Golf Club and just imagine the whole club house filled with Barbie, Hot Wheels, Cars, toys, toys and toys. This was actually their showcase of their Holiday toys collection, merchandisers are welcome so that they could choose the toys they will sell this coming Holiday. OK I have no idea how it goes, but for sure you don’t want details on that right? So let’s get on with the fun fun fun part.

Err, that’s just us having fun. OK so here is the real FUN for all of you..

This is the Barbie Collector for 2011, Barbie Basics in jeans (12 collections), Holiday Barbie 2011 and Barbie The Museum Collection featuring Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt and Leonardo da Vinci.

Barbie dolls, accessories, Barbie make up 9safe for 3 years old and above) and even Barbie Adult shoes.

Cars 2, Hotwheels with its newest collection (right side photo), Bakugan perfect gifts for the boys.. and I will definitely buy the Hot Wheels wall track. Moon Dough (not your ordinary dough.. it is super soft!), Dora and Thomas and of course Mega Blocks! And look, Smurfs!

Items for the babies, Fisher-Price toys and Chicco feeding necessities.

Most of the items displayed will be available this coming Holiday.. now Mommies, start creating yuor checklist and get ready for some Toy shopping this coming Christmas.. It’s never too early to plan right? as for me and for the boys, this is what I promised them:

That’s a Hot Wheels track that can be attached on the wall.. I really love Hot Wheels cars and we have more than a hundred of it and I wish I can buy as much race track as I can but we lack space.. the dilemma of where to put the tracks stopped me from buying race tracks.. but this track.. ohh it solves any space problem we have!

Pasig City Ordinance Banning The Use Of Plastic

sadly, all the supermarkets near us don’t sell blueberry preserve… just when we were both (me an Nina) craving for No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake… so yesterday I asked hubby to drive us (with Sati and Chico) to SM Hypermarket at Pasig. Just as expected, I found our supplies there along with other goodies that’s hard to find. I only bought one ecobag with me since I only planned on buying the ingredients I needed for our cheesecake. We end up buying more than what we should and was really worried on where to place it without having to use plastic.. Then I noticed, SM Hypermarket is actually following the Pasig City Ordinance on Plastic use.

Pasig City Ordinance Banning The Use Of Plastic

“An Ordinance banning the use of plastic/ styrofoam.”

We got 2 brown paper bags and one ecobag and a Holywood inspired scene:

That’s one of the most used scene on Hollywood movies and foreign TV series right? A mom carrying a brown paper bag with some parts of the veggies sticking out. cute di ba? hehe

Seriously, the use of brown paper bag is also damaging to the environment as production of papers need tree, the only good thing about it is, it is biodegradable and can be recycled to make into another paper.

But I wish supermarkets, specially SM, will encourage their shoppers to bring their own bags. Offering discounts does not seem to be that effective… for me, offering a freebie every time they shop with their own bag might be more encouraging.

Say, for a minimum purchase of 500 PhP, put your grocery on your own bag and get a chance to pick a prize. Prizes can range from pens and other small items that won’t hurt the pocket of the company. They can even use promotional items, pens with their logo on it, cheap mugs or even umbrellas for premium items.
