Here are some Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers Under 350.00.

Here are some Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers Under 350.00.

As promised, here is the second installment for our teacher gift idea series. I am hoping that the publication of this post can still make it in time for your holiday shopping and that this post on Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers can help you better decide on what gifts to purchase.

Nowadays, online shopping can bring out a whole world of convenience for us moms, but when the holiday budget comes in at the last minute, it can be really stressful to shop online. Why? Because shipment may be delayed because of the holidays – delivery volumes, holiday induced traffic situation etc. even online sellers put up a disclaimer for these possible issues, and may even have earlier cut-off schedules.

In any case, for those who will be doing last minute PHYSICAL STORE shopping, for teachers at least, here’s part two of our blog series on Gift Ideas for teachers in the Philippines, this time under P350.00.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers Under 350.00

Apparently, my daughter’s school discourages giving gifts for teachers during Christmas or any holiday for that matter. This is why I prodded her to come up with personalized Christmas Cards for each of her teachers so that we as a family could at least express our gratitude for the many great things her teachers have done for her. Having said that, I still researched for teacher gifts under P350.00 because I have become a mall rat, and I love shopping.

Pastry Gift Boxes for Teachers

For gifts under P350.00 you can already get a small box of pastry at either Purple Oven, Conti’s or even Mary Grace. Conti’s for instance sells boxes of assorted pastries, lemon squares, and even brownies for less than P300.00. A six-piece cheese roll box from Mary Grace on the other hand runs at around P320.00 I think. Just make sure to call in advance, or drop by the day before you decide to pick up the pastries (if they are more than five etc) so that you will not have to wait longer or run the risk of not getting the pastry that you want.

Cheeserolls are one of Mary Grace bCafe's Specialties, and it definitely is a nice pastry to give out to teachers. (This photo is taken from Mary Grace's official Facebook Page)

You may also want to get a bar or two of Theo and Philo Artisan Chocolates. They are available at Gourdo’s, Rustan’s Department Stores, and select Robinson’s Department Store Branches. Echo Store, also carries this local and world-class chocolates if I am not mistaken.

Theo and Philo Artisan Chocolates are proudly Philippine Made and they are just.delish.and.stylish!! (Photo taken from Theo and Philo's Official FB Page)

What is nice about giving food items as gifts is that it is much appreciated and at the same time can be shared with teacher’s friends of her own family.

If you are not the type to give edible gifts, and would not want to be inconvenienced with the needed careful handling, storage, etc of these gifts then go the usual route – buy something that is useful for child’s teacher all year round.

Christmas Gift ideas over at SM Department Store

In SM, there are cute water bottles with matching ear phones that are already in cute gift boxes. They come in different colors such that you will not have to find a different gift for Male teachers because they have the gift set in darker, male-friendly colors as well. These gift boxes go for P299.00 each.

Water Bottles with earphones are useable for teachers too!

You can always choose this black one for male teachers, so no need to get another different item for them.

Another gift that you can buy from the department store are cute power banks like this, which go for P349.00. They come in various designs that can be appreciated by both male or female teachers.

 

A power bank is a must-have for teachers who may need extra batt life for their devices.

They also have eco bags that are useful and at the same time adorable — complete with inspirational quotes or statements. Price range is at P100.00 to P249.00.

Ecobags can be very useful for teachers especially when they have to bring home more stuff than what they usually do.

The Body Shop also has holiday gift packages for ladies.

Female Clothes Shop For Me meanwhile sells perfumes for P298.00. Smelled each of them, and they are all light and happy-smelling. Something that won’t trigger AR on children who may want to give teacher a hug (just kidding). They also have cute lovely pouches at P349.00. I think teachers can use it as an over-sized pencil case or a kikay kit.

For Me carries an affordable perfume line, that are light and sweet smelling.

If there is a Marks and Spencers near you then you may want to head there as well and pick up a box of tea, or boxes of gourmet coffee packets that start at P225.00 per box for the tea, and around P345.00 for the box of Gourmet Coffee Packets.

Hot tea is very soothing for teachers especially after a long work day.

Here are some Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers Under P200.00

Teachers play a huge role in our children’s development, and so there is no surprise why a lot of parents would like to thank them through a Christmas Gift. Christmas gift ideas for teachers can be a lot but the deciding part can be tricky.

But in this joyous but hectic season of giving, it is easy to get overwhelmed with the many choices available for every budget.

Gift Ideas for Teachers in the Philippines

I thought of rounding up some gift ideas for teachers, and I have segregated these gift suggestions based on their costs and where to purchase them, and come up with a two-part series on Gift for teachers this 2017.

Nothing wrong with being practical nowadays, because it is always better to spend and live within our means. After all, the old adage that says “it is the thought that counts” still applies, and the good news is, there are more and more gifts out there that are either useful, adorable, or yummy at unbelievably low cost. This particular blog post tackles gift suggestions for teachers under P200.00.

Teacher Gift Ideas under P200.00:

Head to Miniso or Mumuso where trinkets are both useable and cute! I remember during my time, there is this store that people frequent for cute but unusable gifts that end up as clutter, and you would not like to give out something like that right? In Miniso, you can find items that are both adorable and useful. Found toiletries like Foaming Hand Soaps for as low as P99.00. Body Mists are also available for P149.00. Lip Balms can also be bought for P99.00.

Miniso Anti Bacterial Handwash, and Regular Foaming Handsoap can Be bought upwards of P99.00 per bottle.

2016 Free Christmas Attractions in Manila

Don’t know where to go this Christmas Vacay? here are 2016 Free Christmas Attractions in Manila. (Photo Credits)

If you are wondering where to bring your kids during this year’s Christmas Break then this post is for you.

I have compiled a list (that I will update up until the end of the year) of some of the no entrance fee Christmas attractions for kids this 2016 that will surely make kids and kids-at-heart feel the joy of the yuletide season.

2016 Free Christmas Attractions in Manila for kids and families:

1. Ayala Triangle Lights and Sounds Show 2016 — this annual lights festival has been a tradition for my not-so-little familia. It happens every night until after New Year and it is hands-down the best place to bring your child in the Metro Manila despite the heavy traffic. My advice – go on a Sunday, but be early so that you can still find a parking space in the basement, and you can have a nice pwesto near the lights. After the show there are wonderful places to dine in (hello Poco Deli, and to those who want to splurge, Black Bird). If you are somewhat short non the budget, just bring some snacks and sandwiches, and a nice blankie and have a n impromptu picnic in the area. Of course there may be fewer people during weekdays but you’ll get trapped in epic Makati traffic — unless you live just around the area. The Festival of Lights has started already and will run until January 8, 2017. The shows start from 6PM in 30 minute intervals until 10 in the evening. Here is a link to their official website.

My kids just love going here at the Ayala Triangle to see the Annual Lights and Sounds Show! We go here almost every weekend!! Love it. (Photo taken from Ayala Triangle Garden's FB Page)

2. BGC Epic Sights and Sounds Spectacle Show– Bring your children over to the Bonifacio High Street Park to happily witness the multimedia lights and sounds show dubbed as the “Epic Sights and Sounds Spectacle.” The show runs every thirty minutes starting at six in the evening till 10 in the evening. The lights and sounds showcase will run until December 26, 2016. Apart from the multimedia show, kids will also enjoy the gigantic 50-feet Christmas Tree in the area – perfect for family groufies!

This tree will surely make your little one's eyes sparkle! Head on to  BGC this Christmas. (Photo taken from Bonifacio High Street's FB Page)

3. Policarpio Street, Mandaluyong — if your kids are fond of lights, drive through this street one weekend and they will be amazed with the lights and all the Christmas displays — guaranteed! Decorating the neighborhood has long been a tradition in this area so expect to see decked halls – and lawns – and gardens — and every nook and cranny of a house during Christmas time. No entrance, so free and sans expenses again!!! Here is a great site that will teach you how to get there.

4. Nuvali’s Magical Field of Lights – This is technically outside Metyro Manila but for those4 hailing from the south NCR, this is definitely worth the trip since it is amazing and most of all FREE! Their show runs every 30 minutes from six in the evening until nine PM daily until January 8, 2017.

Head to Nuvali this Christmas. After your outlet shopping, liunger a little bit longer and watch the lights and music exhibition with your children, for free! (Photo taken from Nuvali's FB Page)

5. Filinvest East Christmas House — If you are from the Cainta, Taytay, Antipolo, Marikina, and Pasig areas then this is yet another happy attraction that you and your kids can see for free! I heard though this year, the lines are quite longer and it will be best to be there before 8ish as they already have a cut-off. After trekking to Taytay for your DIY Fabrics, why not go to Filinvest East and treat the kids to a fun Christmas display? The home owner really takes the effort to decorate her whole house for the season. Lovely! Here is a video of their display last 2014.

6. The COD Christmas Show –– Grew up watching this in its original mall in Cubao! Yes the COD Christmas on Display show where my Mama used to bring us. It has been in Greenhills Shopping Center for more than 10 years now, and remains free! The show runs every 30 minutes starting six in the evening, until 10 in the evening. They have already started showcasing the annual display and will continue to do so until New Year’s Day.

A very long tradition. the COD Christmas Display still runs in Greenhills Shopping Complex. (Photo taken from Greenhills' FB Page)

7. Meralco Liwanag Park, Meralco Compound, Pasig City – Year after year, this utility giant provides a no-entrance fee Christmas Pasyalan for the whole family. There is no trouble finding a parking spot because the main headquarters of Meralco has enough parking spaces after office hours. This year’s theme is “Christmas Around the World” and it will feature replicas of the Tower of London, Eiffel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Burj Al Arab, Petronas Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Empire State Building, Pyramid, and Colosseum.

Their Gigantic Nativity Scene made from recycled copper wire is also featured in the park. Kids can also ride in the electronic trains for free! The show runs until until January 8, 2016.
The park is open from 6:30-10PM, Mondays through Thursdays and 6:30PM till 12 midninght from Fridays to Sundays.

So there you have it. Hope you could make the trek to any of these places that offer free holiday entertainment for children and the whole family this Christmas in Manila 2016. I promise to update this post as soon as I learn of more free holiday pasyalan within the metropolis.

Christmas Gift Ideas for girls in the Philippines

Looking for the perfect gift for your little girl? Here are some Christmas Gift Ideas for girls in the Philippines. (Photo Credits: Macy’s Dollhouse)

If you have yet to choose a gift for your little girl or your favorite inaanak then this post is for you.

Scoured FB shops for some gift ideas for your not-so-little-girl and I am just happy to let you know that there are a lot of choices out there! With the epic traffic situation in the Metro right now, who wants to go out right?

Anyway, here is a list of —

Christmas gift ideas for girls in the Philippines:

1. Her very own SSC or Baby Carrier — is your mini-me idolizing your babywearing ways? Why not give her her own baby carrier? Mackenzie customizes baby carriers for your little one! Check out their FB page here.

2. Cloth diapers for her “baby” — if you have noticed that your little one is also a cloth-diapering doll mama as she asks for old inserts or uses her little siblings’ flats and snappi for her doll’s diaper, then it is time to buy her baby a cloth diaper of her own. Mommy Kaye of Sparkling Rainbow Cloth Diapers makes adorable cloth diapers for baby doll too! Yes, cute CDs for your little girl’s Baby Alive doll! Ask her about it by joining her fb group here.

3. Chewelry — Your mini-me wants to take “mommying” her doll a notch further by getting your teething necklace and wearing it for her baby doll to, ehem, “chew”. This is fine of course until the real cranky teething infant needs it. So why not buy your not-so-little one her own kid-sized chunky chewelry over at Teething Beads. Check out their Kids’ Range Collection in their FB page here.

4. Personalized Fabric Dolls — if your little one loves dolls that she can dress up – and can even dress up just like her, why not buy a doll that comes with a dress that could match your little girl’s? Macy’s dollhouse has super cute dolls that can be customized to your child’s preference. You may also buy additional doll clothes so your little girl can change and dress up her new toy 🙂 check out her fb page here. (The photo we used for this post’s banner photo is a doll from Macy’s Dollhouse as posted in their FB Page — thank you for allowing us Mommy Macy).

5. Egg surprise — Christmas is synonymous to chocolates and toys for kids. So why not give her these Italian Egg Choco Surprise with her favorite cartoon character on it! Bebe Lampers is the authorized reseller in our country. This is just the perfect stocking stuffer for your littles – after all what is Christmas without chocolates right? Check out her FB page here.

So, there you have it. I am sure there are other bright Christmas gift ideas for girls in the Philippines. I will be updating this post as soon as I discover more.

***If you landed here looking for a list of 2016 FREE Christmas Pasyalans then click here to go to my NEW POST on that****

If you are wondering where to bring your kids during the Christmas Break then this post is for you.

I have compiled a list of some of the Christmas attractions for kids in Manila 2015 that will surely make those little eyes sparkle.

2015 No Entrance fee Christmas Attractions for Kids in Manila:

1. Ayala Triangle Lights and Sounds Show 2015 — this annual lights festival that happens every night until after new year is hands-down the best place to bring your child in the metro during the holiday season. It is free and it is fab! There are wonderful places to dine in after the show or if you are tight on the budget, why not spread some blankie, have a picnic and eat your packed snacks! Of course go there on a weekend or you’ll get trapped in epic Makati traffic — unless you live just around the area. The Festival of Lights has started already and will run until January 4, 2016. The shows start from 6PM in 30 minute intervals until 10 in the evening. Here is a link to their official website.

2. Policarpio Street, Mandaluyong — if your tot is fond of lights, drive through this street one weekend and she will be super happy — guaranteed. It has long been a tradition in this neighborhood to deck their halls – and lawns – and gardens — and everything actually during Christmas time. No entrance, so free and sans expenses again!!! Here is a great site that will teach you how to get there.

3. Filinvest East Christmas House — this is yet another happy attraction that you can see for free! After trekking to Taytay for your DIY Fabrics, why not go to Filinvest East and treat the kids to a nice Christmas scenery! The home owner really takes the effort to decorate her whole house for the season. Lovely! Here is a video of their display last year.

4. The COD Christmas Show –– Grew up watching this in its original mall in Cubao! Yes the COD Christmas on Display show where my Mama used to bring us. It has been in Greenhills for years now and gladly continues to be one of the free Christmas attractions for children to see on Christmas time.

5. Mall of Asia’s Fireworks Display – Every Friday and Saturday, this gigantic mall features a free pyrotechnic display at their SM By The Bay area. Here is a link to their FB Page.

6. UPDATED: 12/14/2015 Megaworld Reindeer Park, BGC — This is situated near Mc Kinley. There are a lot of Holiday-Colored Reindeer adorned with fun holiday string lights! Drop by anytime on a weekend and you’ll find food trucks nearby! It is also accessible via public transportation as jeeps go through the area too.

7. UPDATED: 12/14/2015 Meralco Liwanag Park — How could i forget about this free pasyalan when we have visited this a couple of times over the years? It is a fun pasyalan which will surely thrill your kids as they can run around the area. There is no trouble finding a parking spot because the main headquarters of Meralco has enough parking spaces after office hours. Your kids will surely enjoy the free mini-train ride, the gigantic nativity scene, the copper-wire sculptures that are so huge. There is also a night bazaar. The Liwanag Park is open to the public until January 6, 2015 (except December 18 in view of the Meralco Corporate Christmas Party), and is open from 6:00pm to 10:00pm during weekdays, and 6:00pm to 11:00pm during weekends.

So there you have it. Hope you could make the trek to any of these places that offer free holiday entertainment for children this Christmas in Manila 2015. I promise to update this post as soon as I learn more free holiday pasyalan within the metropolis.

It can almost be considered tradition to dress little girls in nice and new dresses every Christmas.

I remember one of my ninangs supplying metwo to three Christmas dresses year after year until i was too old for these. My mom though, still insists on buying and choosing one for me.

Now that im a mom, i fully understand. Little girls get to become all the more adorable when they wear Christmas dresses. Im thinking as well that for families like us who go to church for the midnight mass, kids have to dress up because after all it is like they are attending a birthday party of the best Child ever born.

For you fellow moms, looking for great places to buy Christmas dresses, this post is for you —

Where to buy Christmas Dresses for babies in the Philippines:

1. Department Stores — There is absolutely nothing wrong with scouring those bins for sale items, and going through rack after rack of tutus, organzas, and red and white cotton and tulle dresses. My ex officemate — as i have mentioned in my post on where to buy baptismal dresses — swears by Landmark Department store in Makati for nice yet very affordable Christmas dresses. Of course the selection in SM is vast — just be sure to go to a big one like that of SM Makati or Megamall or probably North Edsa for more choices. The dresses in Rustan’s are definitely not cheap BUT they last a really long time and you are sure you could pass it on to your other children when the time comes — so it will be worth it over time.

2. Malls — it is not really cheap to go shops and boutiques — BUT if you chanced upon their sale, for sure you’d get huge discounts! Worth checking out are Zara, Rajito, Periwinkle, Tarte Tatin, H & M, Cotton on Kids, and even Mother Care sometimes for little ones.

(Post continued below)
====================================================================

3. Bazaars — Check out the many choices in the various bazaars all over the metro. Of course do not forget the year in and year out bazaar at Greenhills. Really lots of choices there that are affordable and cute.

4. Bargain Meccas — Of course how could we ever forget to list down Divi — kakababa mo palang anjan na ang mga baro, yes even outside the famed numbered buildings like 168, 999 and the like. Baclaran — just within the periphery of the church are stall after stall of dresses that would rival those you’d see in department store racks. If you go to the permanent stalls in there and not the bangketa/ambulant vendors, you can see some dresses that are brand-less and label-less but would remind you of the ones sold in major department stores at about 1/3 of the price.

5. Online — if you seriously do not want to be victimized by the epic traffic situation that will be get worse as Christmas draws near — why not let your fingers do the shopping for you? Want cash on delivery and free shipping for items amounting more than P1,000.00 check out Lazada. They have many choices just like this dress which you can get here. You can also check out stylemelittle.com. This is my go-to online shop for my babies from NB stage up to now. Not really cheap but hey the clothes here are nice! Another online children’s dress shop you may wanna check out is The Princess and The Pea PH – they have an ongoing promo of three dresses for P2,000.00 and they have big sister-baby sister dresses too! Here is a link to their FB Store. You may be able to score great finds at Zalora too!

So, there you have it. I am sure there are other places and Online Shops where you may buy Christmas Dresses for your little girl/s. I will be updating this post as soon as I discover more. If you have the time, hope you could drop by my Facebook page and hit the like button, so you can receive regular updates from Happypinaymommy.com direct on your newsfeed.

Thank you so much!

If your family prefers Lechon over Chinese ham for your Noche Buena and Media Noche then this post is for you.

I have compiled a list of establishments where you can order the best lechon in time for the holidays. Of course these are just the ones I have tried already so you can be sure it is yummy and yummy and yummy. Did I say yummy?!

Here is where to order the Best Lechon in Manila:

1. Pepitas Kitchen — I cannot fully explain why I love this lechon. It is just superb especially the one with truffle rice inside! Heaven really!!! You’ve got to try it. They’ve got other stuffed lechon flavors too! Check out their FB page here. Also — if you have balikbayans coming in for the holidays or you simply want to try something new instead of going to buffets why not indulge in their Degustacion? Ask them about it!

2. Elar’s Lechon– well it has not survived this long if it ain’t good and yes! Elar’s is definitely one of the best. Skin is of course crispy and very yummy and meat is tender! My tita g won’t have a party without Elar’s in the buffet table! Check out their website here. You can actually order from them online and they will deliver!

3. Sabroso — My favorite exboss loves this and he orders from here for every gathering in the office — Bless him he is one of the nicest people i have known! Anyway, a good friend P also recommends this place and thanks to her i discovered that apart from the take out place in Katipunan Extension, there is a dine in restaurant (super small-ish though) along E. Rodriguez in Quezon City. It is along the same avenue where St. Luke’s is but this one is nearer tomas morato if I am not mistaken. Apart from the lechon we also ordered dinuguan and bopis hahaha. Anyway here is their FB page so you could ask for clearer directions.

4. Zubuchon — this Cebu based lechon restaurant also ships their goodies to Manila. You just have to place and pay for your orders three days before you want to pick it up from the airport! Now if they can also ship their Kamias shake too!!! Here is a link to their website.

5. Ulcing’s — Soooo yummy and worth every bit of the cholesterol and calories!!! Order this very tasty Cebu lechon and you will not regret 🙂 They have an outlet in Fort Bonifacio 🙂 here is their number: 497-7957, (0919) 361-3291 and they deliver to Makati for FREE!!! This is love <3

6. General’s Lechon – This lechon is Native LECHON at its finest!!! Sampled it in a friend’s birthday and I was told it is one of the best and it is! I am sure it is not the porkaholic talking but it really is good further research showed that this lechon is negros-style roasted lechon where the owners hail from. Check out their website here.

7. La Loma Lechunans — well, this is somewhat sentimental and mainstream – Ping-ping’s of course I remember my officemate G and even Mang Boy, who introduced me to not just lechon that is fresh from the grill — but also the super bagong luto and oh so crunchy chicharon bulaklak and bituka served at the dine-in areas in ping ping’s in La Loma. Imagine we will have lunch here in the Saturdays when we were required to go to work? Hahaha. Of course I’ll mention Mila’s lechon as well because it won’t be a household name if it were not good. My mom was friends with Aling Mila too. Some 20 years ago, I remember she’d send over kilo after kilo of lechon just because 🙂 thank you for the sweetness Aling Mila!

So there you have it, hope I was able to give you ideas on where to order the best Lechon in manila in time for Christmas. I included the links so that you could personally check on the pricing and the availability of the products (and of course order ahead of time). As always, I promise to update this post as I discover more yummy lechon in the Metro.

I grew up anticipating Noche Buena with a leg of Chinese ham on the table. The ham is ceremoniously prepared — cooked and baked –by my mom (and of course inay as her assistant) and my older brother. Truly, me and my little sister know that it is Christmas when our dining room starts smelling of melting brown sugar over baking ham. Yummy. Slathered with mayonnaise, it was heaven. We even eat it with rice the next day for breakfast.

Now that I have a fam of my own, I try to recreate that scene but! Of course with the mommy shortcuts I had to do because unlike my mother — I do not have assistants to help me out to prepare a Christmas feast.

For those of you who would like to just buy cooked Chinese ham this post is for you.

Where to buy the best Chinese ham in the Philippines:

1. The Plaza — Chinese ham at its finest. They have branches in Dasmarinas Village in Makati and in the Petron that is just outside La Vista among other branches. Call for reservations early. Here is a link to their website. They ave an FB Page too — here.

2. The Majestic ham — These are the stalls that are outside some supermarkets like Shoppersville in Katipunan, some Rustan’s supermarket branches, Cash and Carry in Makati and many more. Based on experience you’ve got to order in advance during the holidays because they run out of stocks fast! Another great thing about this is that you can buy by the kilo or even a quarter of it, or even bits if you want some! Here is a link to their Website.

  1. Excellente — Year in and year out you would see Winnie Cordero or Doris Bigornia reporting live at this Ham store in Carlos Palanca Street in Quiapo every Christmas and New Year. People flock to this ham maker for a reason, and the reason is the great taste that hasn’t changed over the years. Here is a link to their FB Page.
  2. Adelina’s Ham – There was one Christmas that someone gave one to our family. The sweetness and saltiness of this ham is just perfect! They have a branch in Greenhills. Here is a link to their FB Page.
  3. Grocery Stores — if you are like my mom who can whip up something great in the kitchen — or if you have an oven at home where you can heat up the Chinese ham then why not just buy one off the grocery! King Sue still sells Chinese ham that you’d have to prep yourself (yes the one wrapped in brown paper and red net) although they have noticeably smaller leg sizes now compared too ehem, 20 years ago, probably to keep prices down. Purefooods meantime also has their own version of Chinese ham (which i think they introduced some ten years ago) that you will just need to garnish and heat up. Both are fine but King Sue is on the saltier side, and Purefoods is somewhat sweet and salty although not as tasty as the aforementioned ones, but for the price it is a practical choice already.So there you have it, hope I was able to give you ideas on where to buy yummy Chinese Ham for Christmas. I included the links so that you could personally check on the pricing and the availability of the products. As always, I promise to update this post as I discover more yummy Chinese hams in the Metro.

It is the time of the year once again when we get invited to all those gatherings and pot lucks.

For some of us who enjoy cooking or would like to save a little on the pot luck budget — or make the most of it actually — this post is for you.

I have decided to compile a list of meals that are easy to cook and can easily be your contribution to the next potluck that you will be attending.

Easy on the Budget Filipino Christmas Potluck Food recipes:

1. Spanish Sardines Spaghetti — This is easy to make and it will definitely not break the bank. You would not even spend 300 for ten! Check out the simple recipe here.

(Post Continued Below)

————————————————————————————————————————–

You may also want to read:

==================================================================

  1. Crispy fish fillet — You can make a lot of fish strips already for around P300.00. Just throw in a good thousand island sauce and you are all set! I included the recipe for this Panko Crusted Fish Fillet in this previous post.
  2. Veggie Slider burgers — got invited to a pica-pica? No problem! Bring sliders or mini hamburgers made with banana heart patties. I included in this post a good recipe for the banana heart patties. P. S. just use dinner rolls as your mini bun and spread some lite mayo if you wish!
  3. Coffee Jelly — tasked with dessert? No problem! This is the new generation buko-pandan and it is yummy. Your 200 will go a long way, promise! Mommy Shiendy Sy-Ferrer shared this recipe (I tweaked some of the measurements as she gave a recipe good for 40-50 pax, this one is good for 30): Use black Mr. Gulaman unflavored Gelatin, Black Nescafe Coffee, five cups of water, 250 grams of sugar then cook like your normal gulaman recipe. For the cream: one packs of all-purpose cream and one can of Alaska Condensed milk. Leave the gelatin to set over night. Once done, cut into small squares, and add in cream and condense milk. Chill and serve!
  4. Fried chicken wings — forget about all the crazy breadings and just spend your P300.00 on cooking oil, chicken wings, a bit of garlic and soy sauce and you’ve got one to sawa chicken wings for friends!  This is a good recipe (though I add some calamansi juice to my rub).

So there you have it, hope I was able to give you ideas on what to contribute to your Christmas Pot Luck Party. Will update once I am able to experiment on more cheap and easy pot luck favorites.

Christmas is indeed just around the corner, and we must already start scouting for Christmas gifts for our loved ones, friends, and people we are thankful for.

A group of people whom we have to give gifts to are teachers of our children. And while there are a lot of gifts to choose from, our personal holiday budget may not be able to handle all things bright and shiny.

So If you are looking for nice and heartwarming gifts for your child’s teacher with your budget in check, then read on.

Under P300 Christmas Gifts for Teachers in the Philippines:

1. Lovely plush pillow. When you are standing up most of the time, you will surely appreciate a comfy throw pillow in your desk that doesn’t look like you go it from your mom’s couch. Check out the nice and fab throw pillows for your child’s teacher at PopJunkLove.

2. Care package. Teachers work even at home as they check papers, finalize lesson plans, grade students etc. Show them that you care by sending any yummy (and hopefully nutritious) snack items from Rustan’s Fresh. Throw in a big bottle of Arizona Tea and put them inside a brown bag that your child decorated especially for her.

It is the time of the year once again when we will have to shop around for gifts for people we hold dear.

Apart from our children, we all have babies in our lives whom we want to give gifts to this Christmas. Inaanaks, Pamangkins, Babies of Friends, Officemates, Neighbors etc. and the thing is we should strike a balance on heartfelt giving and staying within our budgets right?

So after grouping your Christmas gift recipients and allotting a budget for each group, you determine that there is a group of babies in your life whose gift budget falls under P100.00 each. But what can you buy with just P100.00???

Do not fret ladies, there are cutesy patootsy, cheap yet cheerful and fun gifts that you may give these little tots, and the good news is I have compiled them for you! Actually this is the start of a series of affordable yet adorable Christmas gift posts that I will be coming up with in the next couple of weeks (but hey there are only about four 1/2 weeks left before Christmas!!!). I have written about Christmas gift suggestions before but this particular series is hinged on being able to meet a certain budget.

Anyway, to jump start this series, here is my first batch of suggestions:

Cute Christmas Gifts under P100 for Babies in the Philippines

  1. Bandana Bibs – Lucas and Lucia sells fab looking bandana bibs at P85.00 each. You can choose a fabric from her roster of happy prints. Production takes 3-4 days. I suggest that you buy several pieces to max out on the shipping cost. Here is a link to their page.

3. LazadaIf you want to shop online, and just pay upon delivery then buy your tot’s Christmas Costume from this shop. Prices are almost the same as those sold in online stores, like this cute Santa Romper, which you may buy here for just P650.00. You may also want to check out this three-set Santa Costume for a baby girl, which you can also buy here.

4. Tots and Toddlers – This Facebook shop has an exciting array of Christmas Costumes for your infant and younger child. Check out the prices and stock availability here.

5. Cutie Tots – This FB store has a good selection of Santa Costumes for your baby. For instance, the sizes of their Santa costumes range from newborn size to toddler age, so if you’ll be giving birth a couple of days before Christmas, you may want to order now because it makes for a cute Going Home outfit! Here is a link to their FB shop.

6. OLX – If you are OK with buying pre-loved goods then you might just find a great Christmas costume here. Just be cautious with your online dealings as some sellers do not have their own FB Page where you could follow up your concerns. Here is a link to their site.

So there you have it. I hope you’ll be able to find the Christmas Costume you’d want your baby to wear for Christmas. I will be updating this post as I discover more shops that sell Christmas Santa Costumes for babies.

Want to know where to buy cheap Christmas decorations in the Philippines? (Photo Credits)

Read just now that there are only five Mondays left before Christmas and i felt happy and at the same time panicky because i have yet to find decorations that will make our little home more christmas-y.

So here i am sharing with you places where you can find cheap and cheerful Christmas decorations 🙂

Here is a list of some of the places where you can buy cheap Christmas decorations in the Philippines:

1. Dapitan Arcade— i so like this place all year round. They have lots and lots of decors that will make you double check if that indeed is the price. The decors are so affordable you wouldn’t think it could be that cheap. I bought here five years ago, nice fabric Christmas decors, matching Christmas plates, serving platters, and pitchers and my golly those are all microwave and oven proof! Another great thing here is you can haggle. Here’s a map.

2. Uniwide in Sucat – one of my friends swear by this place when it comes to buying happy and “bagsak presyo” Christmas finds! Who can resist changing the theme and color motif of your annual Christmas decors when the decorations here are so cheap! I am referring to the Uniwide Sucat, Paranaque branch, and although it looks like a kind of old warehouse, you will be amazed with the Christmas bargains you can find.

3. Quiapo — if you want native or Filipiniana-themed Christmas decor then this is the place to shop at. The “Quaipo ilalim” has fun and very Pinoy Christmas decors that will make balikbayans (or the clarks of your lives — sorry, faney — im on episode 11 hihi) smile and look forward to the Holidays.

4. Divisoria — The ultimate shopping mecca. Almost any shopping building in Divi — 168, 888, 11/11 or whatever have Christmas decorations that look festive and nice without boring a hole in your wallet! Pick-pockets lang talaga ang bubutas ng bulsa mo dito 🙂 Besides, if you are the crafty type, then Divi has stores after stores of shops that sell laces, and other raw materials that you can use for your DIY Christmas decor project.

5. Greenhills — okay it is not really cheap here but if you want the bazaar feel, and options that are quite cheaper than those in the malls and department stores then head to this aircondition tianggean. At least here, you can babywear your kid and go through stall after stall until you see the decor that will catch your fancy.

So there you have it. I hope you will be able to buy the decor apt for your theme this year — and stay on budget while you’re at it.

If you are looking for Christmas design cloth diapers this early then this post is for you.

In my quest to find Christmas diapers for my little one to wear I stumbled upon some online stores and WAHMs that offer Christmas cloth diapers.

Special thanks to fellow CDing mama, Mommy Monica B. for tagging me each time she sees a Christmas-themed diaper. (Lalong humahaba list of CDs to buy ko sis!)

So here is a list of some shops where you can buy Christmas design cloth diapers in the Philippines:

  1. The Chipper Online – if you are on the look-out for very affordable, pocket type Chrismas themed CDs then head on over at the Chipper Online’s FB Store. They have a lot of designs to choose from! Bonus points if you are from Baguio because they have a physical store there at Porta Vaga. Here is a link to their FB Shop.
  2. Bunch of Bliss – This Local WAHM Brand has opened pre-orders for Christmas themed custom made diapers. Head on over to her FB page here.
