Shopping For Husband

I am lucky that my husband lets me shop for him. Not that he thinks I’m good on shopping, he just don’t know how to shop. And while most woman enjoys shoppng t the bag and shoes section, I enjoy being in men’s clothing department. It’s always a challenge for me to find something that will nice on him and our budget will approve. He is a casual man. He likes shirt and polo shirts but never long sleeves and polo. Well, I like him that way (I like my man that way).

Last time I shopped for him was a few months ago. Chico was with me and aside from shopping clothes for his Dad, we had a “date” too.

Richwell Warehouse Sale 2010

Since 2006, when we learned about Richwell Warehouse Sale, we never missed a year. During our first year shopping at Richwell, we scored Hot Wheels, 3 pices for the price of one (or almost, 3 pieces for 120 Pesos) and some Fisher Price or Chicco shoes half its original price.

Year 2007, I bought a lot of Mega blocks, yep, almost half of our Mega Blocks collections comes from the warehouse sale. And again, got some shoes half its original price. 2008 and it’s all about Chico’s toy, not the brand Chicco but our baby Chilet. We bought a lot of baby toys for 100 pesos each, even got one for 50 Pesos only. Of course, Mega Blocks are always top on our list. And finally bought them their first Hot Wheels track for less than 1000.

Last year, it’s all about infant toys for Sati. We bought some toys for her cribs and shocked to see that Chico’s Mega Blocks car was being sold almost 50% off its original price (waaaah). And again, I splurge on Mega Blocks and some shoes. Oh we almost bought a slides set. ahahaha

This year, I am still going to buy Mega Blocks, but this time the smaller one. They no longer plays with the maxi blocks (hmm sino kaya magmamana nun). And will try to find some toys Sati will like. And if by luck there’s a playground set for a very reasonable price, we might buy it (save for our future house.. wehehe)

Gingersnaps Warehouse Sale 2010

November 12, Friday. A fellow mommy blogger told us about Gingersnaps Warehouse Sale 2010 that will open on the said date. And from the map provided in most blog post about the sale, I discovered that Gingersnaps Warehouse is just a tricycle away from my place. OK, not that near, I still have to walk and rode a tricycle, the thing is, I can go there anytime I want. So last Friday, thinking that less people would be there, I went to the warehouse. Sadly, most of the products at Gingersnap’s Warehouse Sale 2010 last Friday were not that nice. I was there around 1 PM and the line to the cashier is already long. We look around for about 30 minutes and found nothing. Went home empty handed. Coincidentally, Michelle was there too (mom friday), around that time too. Makes me think that Michelle and I are soul sisters (what do you think Michelle?). Anyways, for those of you who has been driving around Pasig looking for the Gingersnaps Warehouse and been looking the net for Gingersnaps Warehouse map, I made one specially for Joy.. not for you, but yeah you can use it.

Coming from EDSA, the easiest way to take is Ortigas Avenue Extension. Straight ahead and then turn right in C Raymundo, this is the right turn after the Lugawan on that side of the road (almost in front of Rosario church). Straight ahead after your turn (you will see a high school, a big supermarket..forgot the name and some subdivisions). Turn left on F Legazpi (if not mistaken, there is an ongoing construction here, a gymnasium or a sports center). Go Straight (LG warehouse is along the way). Straight head until you reached Pasig Rainforest, then turn left (you have to be cautious as there are two left turn here, take the one right after Rainforest). Go straight or not as the road here is curved (LOL), you get my point right? After Pasig City Hospital is the Armal Compound where numerous warehouses are inside. And you can see in front of the gate, a Gingersnap banner or some sort. Yep, that is where the Gingersnap’s Warehouse Sale 2010 located. Enjoy shopping!

You can also take c5, turn right on Eagle drive, right on Dr Sixto Antonio Ave, straight ahead, then turn on the first road on the left, go straight until you reached C Raymundo (which is about 300-500 meters, not sure). Turn left to C Raymundo and just some meters away is F Legazpi turn.

next post.. tips on how to score great finds on warehouse sales.

Gingersnaps Warehouse Sale 2010, Warehouse 19, Armal Compound 2, M. Eusebio Ave., San Miguel, Pasig City

edit: if going there through public transportation, ride a public utilized vehicle going to Pasig Palengke (there’s a lot in Shaw central terminal, near Unilab) and from there ride a tricycle and tell them to drop you off at Armal Compound in Esubio Avenue or Pasig Hospital, he fare is about 50 PhP, I think.
