Online Christmas Shopping is So Much Fun!

Too busy to shop around your local department stores and mall this season? The spirit of Christmas really pushes everybody to hit the malls, department stores and boutiques just as soon as November comes in. Along with all the busy-ness, you can also expect super heavy traffic even on the expressway, super jam packed malls and super long lines at the check-out counters. Are there any easier ways to get your holiday shopping done without having to go through all the hassle? 

Online shopping is the best answer to your dilemma! There are now online shopping stores, malls and especially stores that have everything you are looking for. You can shop for just about anything – clothes, shoes, perfumes, watches and jewelries. Just have your Christmas list ready and you’re all set for a fun and hassle-free online shopping. There are stores that offer free-shipping and for holiday specials, some even offers free gift wrapping so you can have the items delivered to the person you want to give it to. Another great thing about online shopping is that online shopping stores are now accepting credit card payments that are safe and secure so there are no worries or hassle of payment. So forget about squeezing yourself on jam-packed malls and traffic, shop at home, shop online!

A Green Christmas Card

Every year, our suppliers and buyers especially from Europe do look forward for our Christmas cards. While there are a lot of modern way to send Christmas greetings, but we still prefer to send a Christmas cards from indigenous materials.

For more than 5 years, we ordered from Zero Tree, a company based in Laguna specializing in these kinds of materials. This time, we opted to make it ourselves.

We bought this abaca materials from Tabora Street in Divisoria for Php 70.00 or $1.59 for 1 pad. We chose various colors for sample making. Our production staff made a lot of samples but end up with one design.

 

A mix of brown and red abaca fiber accentuated with an angel at Php 10.00 ($0.22) made it to the top.

This is the actual Christmas Card we have sent to our contacts. A mix of brown and red made it to the top. We sent to Europe 2 weeks ago and receiving now their valued comments.

We inserted a piece of testliner brown bought at National Bookstore (Php 6.00 or $0.14) for our Christmas greetings in various languages.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
