If all promotional items were as cute as these, I am sure companies would no longer need heavt advertisement in multimedia as everyone will be using them all the time!

These are made by London-based Irish designer Orla Kiely who just launched her Spring/Summer 2010 collection of fashion, accessories, stationery and things for the home on both her UK and US websites.

I really want one of each actually especially the yellow things!

Haven’t you noticed anything during Valentine’s Day? Before, flower arrangements were a popular gift choice during the day of hearts. You receive a dozen (more or less, depending on your preference) flowers, artistically arranged in a bouquet, with no roots, unfortunately, so they day after a few days. Now if you give plants, not just the green ones you would normally think of but flowering plants in a pot, still nicely arranged of course, there might be a chance that it will be symbolic of your declared everlasting love for your special someone. For as long as it it watered with love and taken cared of, it will be around to witness more years into your relationship.

Do you have trouble envisioning what I am saying? Let me give you a few examples:

The Azalea Bonsai. Bonsai plants have always been great indoor plants. The pink flowers add to its cuteness. I am pretty sure your special someone would always be looking at this plant.

Razzle Dazzle Rose Plant.  Forgive me but I just love pink (so all my examples are pink). This would perfect for mother’s day, or as a gift to a new mother who just delivered her baby.

You can always order these online at 1-800flowers.com!

Korean fashion has invaded Manila, owing in part with Pinoy’s addiction to the famous Koreanovelas on TV. Ever wanted to dress that way in such a cheap price? Go here and add her as a friend, she sells clothes like these!

It’s not summer nor the rainy season where I live but it is true that you need to save some for the rainy day – literally and figuratively! It is so cold from where I am and I cannot wait until summer is here. Until then, I better take advantage of staying at home and take the herbal diet supplements I was given so I can take off the flab away so I can go to the beach.

And while we are at it, why don’t you save for your fashion during the summer AND the rainy season at 20% off at Kate Spade? The Wellie Mellie bag and Neda wallet is calling me

Shopping soared to amazing heights once online stores opened and virtual shopping can be done anytime and anywhere. Advertisements played a big role to challenge women’s control on spending. If not for anything else, impulsive buys due to sales multiplied many times over because anybody can order from anywhere. These days, stores accept check by phone as well, for people who do not trust the security of stores with their credit cards and would rather prefer to pay in cash.

I, for one, am an advocate of online shopping. As I hate crowds and walking.

Amen

Let me give you a trivia about myself: I hate shopping. I hate walking, window-shopping in the malls and buying in cash. However, ever since I discovered the ease and beauty of online shopping, I have become a shopping convert. Truth be told, I think shop every week. And I dread to say that I shop big whenever there are big sales on stores online. Who wouldn’t? The deals are awesome, you get to shop within the comforts of your own home, in your pajamas, ANYTIME (I love shopping during early mornings when the kids and my husband are asleep – it helps me concentrate on choosing what to buy. It also lessens the guilt when I don’t see them!), get free shipping when you buy a certain amount and if you do your research, you can get online coupon codes to get more deals and save more.

That is one of the many reasons why I love shopping online!

I actually discovered the joy of coupon codes through a friend who has been shopping online for a long time. She advised me before buying anything to look for coupon codes – there are a lot of codes online. Most of the time, you can just search “store name” coupon codes in a search engine (I love Google), and you will find a lot of results on  Online Shopping Coupons. You might need to try a lot of codes before you can get a working one but the savings you will get are worth it.

I stick with tried and tested sites which compile valid coupons though, like Shopaneer. Beauty Coupons are always a hit with me since I love shopping for skin care, hair care, beauty products and make-up online. Unlike clothes, these products require no fitting for me and since I have my list of tried and tested brands, shopping online is a breeze. I love deals so I love whenever there are freebies and coupons I get to use!

The holidays are fast approaching and Christmas is here before you know it. For us family with the worse nasal and sinus allergies,humidifier filters are our best friends these days. Have you begun your Christmas shopping already? If not, check out the latest offerings of another online friend, Faye. She sells authentic Coach bags, Lacoste bags and Fossil watches at a lower price than what you can normally get at the malls.

I personally would L-O-V-E to receive another Coach bag (a matching wallet is going to be such a NICE bonus) but I would need to pray that the husband aka Santa Claus will have a gigantic bonus to give me one – but if that happens, I know what I will be getting.

If you need gifts for yourself or your family and loved ones this Christmas, consider getting them from Kalakal ni Kikay! She is a good friend who sells authentic items from the US (Coach, Technomarine, RL dresses, Fossil, DKNY and Lacoste watches, Lacoste bags) and ships them here.
