3 Reasons Why Kids Ink Is A Must Visit

We were invited to the opening of the newest store in Taguig: Kids Ink Store. Located on the 2nd floor of One Bonifacio High Street, 5th Avenue corner 28th street, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, Kids Ink store should be on your top must visit list before Christmas.

VLOG: KIDS INK STORE OPENINGPlease watch my Kids Ink store opening VLOG and see for yourself how awesome this store is. Still not convinced? Here are three reasons why you should visit Kids Ink. BRING ALL THE KIDS!

Kids Ink store is curated for kids. And for a mom of 5 kids with different ages, I can honestly say that all my 5 kids will love this place. Books for all kids ages, from infant to teens, specially series books that my teens love. Harry Potter, Riordan, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Kids Ink have that. I even found a Harry Potter illustrated version for Prisoner of Azkaban (last copy! woohooo!).

And it’s not just about books, Kids Ink have arts and crafts section, educational toys, games, board games, and even party supplies. It’s a one stop shop for our kids, and for those planning to buy gifts for kids, Kids Ink is a must visit.

Kids Ink store makes shopping less stressful for moms. The store is big and well lit, kids can roam freely and there’s even an area where kids can play. During the opening of Kids Ink store, I was able to VLOG while Marius and Sofi plays Lego and read books. Ang saya saya ko sa part na yan.

Kids Ink store is a venue to a series of workshops for kids. During the opening of Kids Ink store, my kids had the chance to join the Elmer’s Glue Slime workshop. And according to Kids Ink, there will be workshops DAILY and most of these are FREE.

Scholastic Warehouse Sale 2017 Book Buffet

I always look forward to book sales, specially Scholastic Warehouse Sale. It’s very near where I live eh. And you know, anything by Scholastic is worth reading. Another exciting about Scholastic Warehouse Sale is their Book Buffet. Imagine, box all you can books for only 799 Pesos! Last December, I got 26 books in a box. This year, I was able to book more!!

Of all the titles I boxed, the most awesome is the almost complete set of The 39 Clues series 1 and Cahills vs Vespers series. There’s only 1 book from each series that was not on the book buffet. Pero madali na lang hanapin yun ano. This is the most awesome because a book is 400+ Pesos. For only 799 Pesos, I got 15 books plus the Agent Handbook. From The 39 Clues books alone, I saved more than 5000 Pesos. Sulit na sulot!

Aside from the books in the book buffet, there are great titles that are also on sale. My third son bought a Geronimo Stiltton Adventure’s Set for 10% off.

Supposedly, I am going to shop while my kids attend the reading workshop, kaso andun din si Morena Mom! Chika to the max na muna syempre while our kids are busy with the reading workshop.

Scholastic Reading Workshop is still ongoing, check the poster below for the schedule:

I am hoping I could go back again before school year starts. Scholastic Warehouse Sale is until June 18, 2017 and is open everyday.

And hopefully makapag book buffet ulit ako!

SM Stationery Is The Best Back-To-School Shop

Having 4 students in the house is not a walk in the park. Let’s not start with the tuition fee ok? Let’s just talk about the school supplies and other back to school needs! I do love shopping, you know that, and I am always excited to shop for new notebooks, pencils and pens (even though it’s not mine). I love shopping but not with my 4 students. Magulo kaya at maingay. Last year was a different story though, I finally learned how to master the act of back-to-school shopping! I give them a list and I wait at the cashier. And now that I have learned about convenience that is SM Stationery, this year will be even better.

SM City East Ortigas recently opened and we’ve been going there ever since. It’s one of our favorite mall. I feel at home sa mall na yan. I let my kids roam around by themselves. I feel safe inside this particular mall and I know most of the establishments there. So it’s not a surprise that I am already planning our back-to-school shopping here. From how it looks, I am confident that back-to-school shopping will be a breeze this year. And here are 5 reasons why:

5 Reasons Why SM Stationery Is The Best Back-To-School Shop

Reason #1. SM Stationery is a one-stop-shop for all our back-to-school needs.

What are the top 5 back to school needs?

School Supplies
Bag
Shoes
Socks
Underwear

You can buy all the school supplies at SM Stationery and since it is inside SM Department Store, you can also buy other back-to-school needs and pay at the same cashier! How convenient is that? It saves you from a lot of gastos! As some of my nanay friends mentioned, tipid sa pamasahe, tipid sa pagkain!

You can give a list to your kids for their school supplies needs. They can shop on their own if they are big enough to do so. While they’re doing that, you can proceed with the bag or the shoes or the socks and underwear.

Mommy Tip: When buying socks, go for the one with colored ankle. It helps them to know how to wear socks properly. Very effective.

Reason #2. SM Stationery Back-to-school BackPack

And I only discovered this now and I want to buy all the backpacks even though I only have 4 students. As per my first-born, this is a really good buy. Back packs are usually priced P500+ but this one is only 399 Pesos and already comes with school supplies.

SM Stationery back packs are packed with school supplies for Grades 1-6 students and also for high school students. The contents varies from notebooks, pad papers, pencils/ ballpens and other basic needs per grade level. Above photo are bags for Grade 2, Grade 4, Grade 6 and Grade 8 (high school).

The backpacks comes in different designs pa. Your students can choose printed, solid color, in pinks, in blues and even in grays (favorite color as of the moment).

Reason #3 SM Stationery has more cute stuff that you can imagine!

Here’s a clip of some of the best stuff we found at SM Stationery (SM City East Ortigas branch) and other interesting find during our visit:

Nakakainggit ang mga students. School supplies are cuter nowadays, mas nakaka inspired mag aral. Even the filling and storage section at SM Stationery is an eye candy!

If you love pastel colors, this is definetly your school supplies must buy:

Reason #4 SM Stationery Freebies!

Free umbrella for a minimum purchase of 1000 Pesos! May bag ka na, may school supplies ka pa, may free umbrella ka pa!

May free watch din for every 1500 purchase! And it comes in different colors.

Reason #5 SM Stationery Card Points

It’s like SMAC but is solely for SM Stationery. You spend and you get rebates. The points you accumulated can be used to purchase your kids’ next year school supplies, of course sa SM Stationery ulit.
