Christmas Shopping for Mothers: November 10

Just in case Philippine-based moms get to read this on time, there will be an Open House at the Mercado Residence tomorrow, November 10, 2006, from 1:30 to 6pm. This will be at 6-B Aquarius Corner Aries, Bel-Air 3, Makati City, Philippines.

Here are some of the things that you will be able to pick up from there:

-A new line of loungewear for women and children created by Yvonne Camacho, Mavis Manotoc Fuentebella and Rio Manotoc. The new line of clothing was made for women who "shuffle between taking care of the kids, husbands, our homes, and our businesses and can squeeze in lunch with friends every so often." The clothes are said to be cool and comfortable and are reasonably priced.

-Clutches and toiletry kits from Meilei

-"Going out shoes" from Sapato and embellished flip flops from Belly Flop

-Rubber Ducky hooded towels

-Tessa Coscolluela's "Baby Martin" diaper bags

-Pineapple's picture frames, vases, car mist, and furniture oil

There will also be a sampling (for free) of Dimpy Camara's Frozen Brazo de Mercedes and her other new products. There will be freebies like: Deluxe Skincare Samples from Guerlain and gift certificates for free facial and makeover at Rustan's counters. There will also be free samples of spa and treatment products from Phytomer and Decleor.

There will be no entrance fees but the organizers are collecting items for Cabuyao Children's Center. If you have plans of shopping then, you may also donate used children's books, art materials, educational toys, as well as old tricycles and bicycles.

So get ready to Christmas shop till you drop!
