Here are some shops and online merchants that sell essential oil accessories in the Philippines. (Photo Credits – Modified)

If you are looking for essential oil accessories in the Philippines, then this article is for you. My 2015 write-up on where to buy essential oils continues to be one of my blog’s top posts, hence I am writing this post.

I will be enumerating here the various online shops and physical stores where you can buy the tools for your essential oil DIY projects.

I have been meaning to write this given the spiking interest in the many benefits of essential oils. And we are just fortunate that essential oil accessories and essential oil tools are available to us here at a much more affordable cost compared to our crunchy mama counterparts in the other side of the world.

The list that I will be sharing with you are those that I have personally tried, those that are tried and recommended by people I know. But as in anything, it pays to do your own research on the lowest prices, and best customer experience.

So here’s the list of —

Where to buy Essential Oil Accessories:

Essential Oil Basic Needs – This Shop from Shopee, has well all the essential oil basic needs that you will need to make rollers, blends, inhalers, salves etc. She has bottles, necklace diffusers, and ultrasonic diffusers too, plus some raw materials for essential oils. The prices are pretty much competitive if not slightly lower than other shops in Shopee. More importantly, they offer Cash on Delivery and Free Shipping to orders beyond P500.00 (and a discount in shipping for purchases amounting P250.00). The seller is accommodating too! Here’s a link to their Shopee Account.

Big Pharmacies – Some huge pharmacies like big branches of Mercury Drug have some of the tools and accessories for Essential Oils which you will need. Beakers, droppers, graduated cylinders can be found here. If you are the type who measures blends via ml then you can buy disposable syringes here.

Lazada – Yes, Lazada also sells Essential Oil Roll on Bottles like the blue 10 ml roller bottles that they sell for P599.00 per pack here. The 10 ml-Amber Rollers on the other hand are also on sale here for P606.00 per dozen, and it comes with five plastic pipettes. Find it it here. Most of the accessories and bottles for essential oils sold over at Lazada can be bought on a cash on delivery basis and ships nationwide.

4. Beauty N Bottles – Is yet another preferred shopee merchant. They sell bottles, creams, pumps that are perfect for essential oils ph DIY serums, facial creams, shampoos, soaps and more. They also have foamers, and even 2ml Sampler bottles. Here’s a link to their shopee account.

5. The Medical Supplies Store in Bambang – Where else can you find accessories that are at bagsak-presyo levels other than this strip of medical supplies stores fronting PGH and near DOH? Yes I have mentioned this place several times in my past entries like where to buy scrub suits, as well as where to buy affordable but efficient nebulizers. Yes you can find medical grade droppers, graduated cylinders, vials, beakers, glass stirrers and more that will help you channel your inner “oilbularyo.”

6. Miniso – If you are not comfortable with buying online, or you just simply love this shop, then better head to the branch nearest you and check out some lotion, bottle, and cream containers, as well as mini-sprayers in here. They usually come in nice packs with carriers. The downside though is that they only have plastic containers, so if you are looking for glass bottles then better buy somewhere else. They too have digital weighing scales for your lotion, salves, creams etc. They too have organizers. Here’s a link to their official website. Most of the sets that I have seen (mostly packed for travel toiletry sets) cost P99.00 per set.

At Miniso you can buy plastic bottlers for your essential oil DIY projects like lotions, creams, linen spray, home spray, bug spray, cleaning spray and the like.

7. Purple Butterfly Crafts – This store is yet another preferred Shopee merchant. They have flip top bottles, lip balm tubes, roll on bottles, carrier oils, as well as other raw materials for essential oil DIY Recipes. It is actually a well recommended store. Check out their shopee account here.

8. Snowflake PH – Is yet another store in Shopee that offers EO Accessories, particularly cobalt blue bottles and other Essential Oil needs. They have Cash on Delivery service available. What I like about this shop is that they have bottle/roller organizers that you can simply put in your purses. No more loose bottles in different corners of your bag! These plus from the posh-looking bottles that they sell. Here’s a link to their Shopee account.

9. Raw Essentials PH – is a Shopee merchant that offers free delivery and Cash on Delivery basis for the raw materials that is sells in its Shopee store. If you plan to get your EO DIY projects go up another notch by putting your creations on sale, then this Shopee merchant could be your go-to online store. They have silicone soap molders, pipettes by the wholesale, spatulas, clays, soap cutters, measuring spoons and even dried flower powders. They also have packaging supplies like boxes! Here’s a link to their Shopee account.

So, there you have it. I am sure there are other places and Online Shops where you may buy essential oils in the Philippines. I will be updating this post 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.

Where to buy Supplies for DIY Candy Buffets in the Philippines

Doing your child’s own candy buffet? Here’s where you can Where to buy Supplies for DIY Candy Buffets in the Philippines. (Photo Credits)

More and more moms are becoming practical nowadays that they try DIY projects for their children’s stuff (like cloth diapers, wipes, accessories), and even supplies like Fabcons – I wrote about it here, and even detergents etc.

Parties of course are a huge expense especially if your family is the type to hold big events. A cost-efficient method is to resort on DIY for some aspects of the party – or for more adventurous and crafty mommies – DIY the whole party itself.

I earlier wrote about where to find DIY Party Supplies (read it here), and I have monitored that it is one of my widely read posts. Now I am giving you a more specific blog entry that deals with one dainty, fun, and yummy aspect of any family event – The Candy Buffet!

So for mommies out there who are doing a DIY on their little tot’s candy buffet, here is –

Where to buy Supplies for DIY Candy Buffets in the Philippines:

1. S & R – S & R stores can provide your needs for chocolates and sweets. Here you can find big packs of imported chocolates, candies, and gummy stuff kids usually like. Check out their website here for their branches. If you are not a member, you can ask any member-friend to tag you along!

2. Chocolate Lovers – Where else can you find all those sweet and yummy treats sans the packaging that you will not need but at Chocolate Lovers? They have a branch in Cubao, for inquiries and directions to the store here is a link to their website.

(Post continued below)

3. Sweet Craft – If you live near the Shaw Boulevard area then go to Sweet Craft, it is near Dansalan Gardens and yes you can find a lot of baking needs, as well as candies and sweets for your candy buffet. Here’s their FB Page.

4. Online and Brick-and-Mortar Baking Supplies Stores – If you have a baking supplies store in your neighborhood, then better check it out because they will be selling those sweets you can readily put on your candy jars! They also have the gummy jellies, candy coated chocolates, the works basically. They will most likely have online shops to like Bakers’ Basket Baking Supplies (apart from the sweets they have all those dainty items and decors that you will need), Little MJ Baking and Party Supplies (also for those dainty stuff for the candy buffet).

5. Divisoria – Well you have to be discerning about this if and when you will decide to source chocolates and sweets here – as you know there are unscrupulous sellers that may sell counterfeit candies and chocolates, or even expired goods. I am not saying this is the case in all of the stores in the area, but we better be mindful about all these especially since candy buffets attract children the most. What I can tell you though is that you can get supplies for the candy buffet table here like the jars, decorations, liners and the like. Special mention for the famous Tabora Street, and Lucky Chinatown Mall.

6. Dapitan Arcade – If you are looking into nice jars, serving wares and the like then Dapitan Arcade is the place for you. Super affordable prices even for unique pieces! After the party, I’m sure you can reuse the wares you’ve bought from here in all your other events, or even as your home decor.

7. Department Stores – You will be surprised because tiered plates and nice jars and other stuff you may use in your candy spread are also available in your nearest department stores. Just be more imaginative! Department stores you ay want to check out include Robinson’s Department Store Galleria Branch, SM Makati, and Landmark Makati.

8. UPDATED MAY 13, 2016: Sugar and Spice Manila — If you want Pinterest-style sweets wrapped in fancy papers, the head to Sugar and Spice Manila’s FB shop, and let your mind be dazzled with the many wrapping designs and yummy sweets they have to offer. Check out their page here.

9. UPDATED JUNE 23, 2016: Joshua Gummies: I have come across a lot of Moms who made their DIY candy buffet with supplies coming from this FB Shop, so you may wanna check them out. They have gummies, jellies, pika pika, and more importantly packages for DIY candy buffets if you do not want to get bothered with thinking of candy combinations. Here is a link to their FB shop.

10. UPDATED June 23, 2016: Candy Corner PH: Remember those stalls we try so hard to avoid when we go out in the mall with the kids in tow? Yes you can shop online via their website, plus they can even have party carts for you or make the DIY Canddy buffet for your child’s party altogether! Absolutely no hassle on your part, so if you’ve got the extra moolah for it then might as well get them as your supplier. Here is a link to their website.

11. UPDATED: August 4, 2016: MaraElla’s Party Supplies Store — If you are from Cebu then this may be the Candy Buffet Supplies Shop that you should be ordering from to also save up on shipping fees! They have gummies, chocolates, and other sweets that can fill your DIY Candy Buffet Jars and Serving Wares. Check out their FB Store here.

So, there you have it. I am sure there are other places and Online Shops where you may buy Supplies for DIY Candy Buffets in the Philippines. I will be updating this post as I discover more shops. 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.

Where to buy curtains in the Philippines. (Photo Credits)

If you are looking for cheap curtains in the Philippines then this post is for you.

There are a lot of places to get cheap, but good quality curtains in Manila and i have listed here some of the places that you may check out. I am writing a separate post on ONLINE shops where you may order curtains from, so this particular post is for physical stores you can actually go to.

I will also soon come up with a post on where to buy fabric for curtains for those of you who may want to do a DIY or buy one to be sewn by your favorite seamstress.

Anyway, here is a list of places–

Where you can buy curtains in the Philippines:

1. Department stores — if you want to physically see the curtains and choose from a wide selection then head over to a mall near you and hit the home sections of your favorite department store. Worth checking out are the selections in SM home — especially the one in Makati, as well as that of Landmark.

2. Divisoria –– The Divi malls like 999 have a lot of stalls that sell curtains. Head on to Divi and choose! In fact even street-level sellers sell cheaper curtains, but if you want cheap but better quality and nicer prints/fabric type/designs then go inside the malls.

After stopping by the Redemptorist Church, go through the back parking, park your vehicle there and go through a tiny gate out into the back and you will see a palengke packed with stall after stall of dry goods. Just ask around for the curtain stalls and the friendly tinderas there will point you to the right direction.

4. Ilaya St., and Juan Luna in Divisoria — you will find a lot of curtains here, and these streets may just have the widest and cheapest curtain selections that you will see.

Local Courier Services for Online Sellers in the Philippines

happypinaymommy — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 18:22:04 +0000

Here is a guide on Courier Services for Online Sellers in the Philippines. (Photo Credits)

If you are an online seller, a cloth diaper WAHM or purely active in Buying, Selling or Trading online then this post is for you. Mommies who have been working from home through an online selling business may actually be familiar with some of the Courier Services for Online Sellers in the Philippines that I have listed below, but for those who are just starting up with their online shops, I hope you can continue to read on.

I have compiled a list of some of the courier services in the Philippines that can help you deliver the goods that you sell online. Courier service in Manila has actually gone a long way because unlike before when you have to drop by the courier’s outlet store, courier services nowadays can pick up the package at the comfort of your home or office, regardless of how many packages you are shipping! Best of all –for some courier services — these can be done online and costs only a fraction of how it used to be – or how bigger companies would have charged.

Tracking of parcels has also improved because most are web-based already, and you need not wait for an operator to pick up your call through the usual busy hotline.

Here is a list of Courier Services for Online Sellers in the Philippines:

LBC – Undoubtedly the Hari ng Padala because they can be have the quickest turn-around time. They also have a lot of outlets so you can just drop by their shop anytime, even beyond business hours for their mall-based shops. And since they have been in the industry for so long, it is definitely a trusted brand especially when it comes to rush shipping even to the provinces. The only caveat though is that most online sellers complain that their services are pricey.
JRS – Another institution in the local courier services industry, JRS continues to provide courier services nationwide. They have a lot of outlets too, and they are relatively cheaper compared to LBC.

(Post continued below)

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

You may also want to read:

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

Xend – Well it may not have the reputation of quick delivery services or prompt pick-up (I have shipped a blog giveaway using this service before and my recipient from the province had to wait for weeks, and eventually had to go to the hub in their area to retrieve the package), Xend continues to innovate. Their customer service is quite helpful and quick. They also give the customers the option to drop off parcels/documents in select 7-11 branches — which means you may drop off your package anytime 24/7 versus waiting for the courier to pick it up from your home the whole day. Their website is easy to navigate too!
Abest – A courier service provider that can do parcel pick-ups, even in the provinces. It is positioning itself as an affordable alternative when it comes to provincial shipping or vice-versa. Here is a link to their website.
Fastrack Courier – is also providing affordable courier services for online buyers who usually shoulder the shipping cost of the products that they buy online. According to their website their rates start at P45.00. I cannot actually review the service as I have only been a fluffmail recipient and have yet to try sending a parcel through this company. I know a lot of sellers though who trust fastrack with their goods. Create an account with them here.
V-Rush – is a relatively new courier service provider, servicing the whole Metro Manila area. They also have a Cash on Delivery Service that they can offer their clients, boasts of a real-time status tracking, and can also do pick-ups and packaging. Their Pick up and Delivery Next Day service starts at P75.00; Rush Service – which is same day pick-up and delivery service is meantime at P150.00 (my golly imagine getting your fluffmail the same day you said “mine?”), and Pick up and Delivery Point to Point Service starts at P230.00. Check out their website here.
Metrowide Courier Express — Their services start at P40.00 with free pick up for next day delivery service. They have a late cut off time which is at 4PM, and their destinations include: Manila, Caloocan (North/South), Las Pinas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Paranaque, Pasay, Pasig, Pateros, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig and Valenzuela. Here is a link to their website.
UPDATED: May 21, 2016: Zyllem — According to its website it is the “leading provider of fast, cost-effective, and reliable same day delivery services in Singapore, Malaysia, and Phiilippines.” So for those of you out there who need to ship off a product to your client on the same day, you may want to give this courier a try. Here is a link to their website.

So, there you have it. I am sure there are other local courier services that are great for online selling and businesses in the Philippines. I will be updating this post 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.

That is why when I say a box of mason jars in a mall outlet near our place I grabbed a box, and made use of the many jars in there for our drinks, salads, soups (for serving-sized portions), our kitchen supplies, make ahead meals in serving sizes, cooking oil for recycling and the like.

True Value – Here’s where I bought my first box of Mason Jars, and I have been buying here ever since. It is relatively cheap. More than a year ago the 16 oz wide-mouth jar, if I am not mistaken will cost less than P70.00 if bought in boxes. There are true value outlets in Rockwell, Century City, Glorietta, etc

Where to buy Christmas Dresses for babies in the Philippines

happypinaymommy — Thu, 03 Dec 2015 14:55:03 +0000

Here is a list of where you can buy Christmas dresses for babies in the Philippines (Photo Credits)

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.

Where to Buy Menstrual Cups in the Philippines

Where to buy Menstrual Cups in The Philippines. (Photo Credits)

If you want to try using menstrual cups but don’t know where to buy it then this post is for you.

I have earlier written about where to buy menstrual cloth pads or mama pads and i know that some cloth mamas are looking into trying menstrual cups.

Menstrual cups are feminine hygiene products usually made of medical or high grade silicone and is inserted into the vagina to catch menstrual flow. It is less messy and depending on your flow, it could last up to eight hours (even more), without leaks depending on your menstrual flow.

When it is time to change or remove, you just have to dump the blood into the toilet, wash the cup and re-insert.

Anyway, here is where you can buy menstrual cups in the Philippines:

1. Mama.baby.love – this shop I think, is the first ever local reseller of menstrual cups in the Philippines. They have the Lunette, Meluna, The Keeper, Diva Cup, and the Sckoon. Prices range from P1,000.00 to P1,800.00. Here is a link to their store.

Where to buy essential oils in the Philippines. (Photo Credits)

ARTICLE UPDATED 5 May 2017

If you are on the look out for essential oils for your DIY projects, aromatherapy needs or the like then this post is for you.

I have long been waiting for pure essential oils to be available in the country at a price that most can afford. You see, even in the US, essential oils are somewhat pricey.

There are a lot of uses for pure essential oil such as in DIY soaps, detergents, fabric conditioners, and the like — some I have written about here.

Of course some people who swear by aromatherapy also love pure essential oils. For instance tea tree oil has anti bacterial properties, and eucalyptus oil helps relieve tension headaches and aids in relaxation. Lavender is usually used in aromatherapy for it relaxing an wonderful scent. Orange and lemon meantime are favorites when it comes to DIY detergents and home cleaners. Nice essential oils plus a best rated mattress also help pave a good night’s rest.

Anyway, here is a list of where to buy essential oils in the Philippines:

1. Casa de Lorenzo – This online shopping website not just supplies essential oils, they also supply hard to find Castile Soap. For the essential oils they have various kinds including peppermint, lemongrass, citronella, ginger, eucalyptus, lavender, calamansi, among others. Check out their website here.

2. Healthy Options: If you want to buy from a physical store then head to the Healthy Options Store near you and check out their Aura Cacia Essential oils and other wellness products.

Aura Cacia Essential Oils are available at Healthy Options.

During my checking the last time they have the following Aura Cacia EOs: Citronella Java, Eucalyptus, Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemon, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Frankincense, and Rosehip Oil. Prices range from P350.00 to P1695.00 per 15ml Bottle. Check out Aura Cacia’s Online Store Here.

Where to buy cheap nebulizers in the Philippines. (Photo Credits)

Having a nebulizer in the home is handy especially if one of your kids are asthmatic. If you are looking for an affordable yet effective nebulizer for your child then this post is for you.

I have compiled a list of places where you can buy nebulizers at a cheaper cost. I have included as well some places where you may get pre-loved or second-hand nebulizers, as it is safe to use one PROVIDED that you buy a new kit (Mask and Tubing) for hygiene purposes.

Anyway, here is the list of shops where you can buy cheap nebulizers in the Philippines:

Bambang – This area, which is just super near DOH, and PGH is popular for low cost medical equipment and supplies. If you will be taking public transportation then just alight at the Bambang Station of the LRT. Nebulizers here can go as low as P750.00
Pharmacies – Watson’s, Mercury Drug, Rose Pharmacy, and even The Generics Pharmacy sell Nebulizers. Those in Mercury and Watson’s are usually branded and you can find more affordable ones in pharmacies like Rose.

(Post continued below)

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

Lazada – If you would like to beat the epic traffic situation, and pay on a cash-on-delivery basis then Lazada is your best bet. They have nebulizers for as low as P1,179.00 which you can buy here. One of the more prominent nebulizer brand, which is Omron is now on sale from P5,999.00 it is now at a discounted rate of P3,499.00 which you may buy here.
OLX – You can find pre-loved or second-hand nebulizers through this website. You however have to exercise usual caution in your online transactions as some of the sellers there do not have an online shop where you can make follow-ups or after-sales inquiries. Here is a link to their website. — REMINDER: WHEN BUYING A USED NEBULIZER, MAKE SURE TO REPLACE THE HOSE, FACE MASK AND ALL DISPOSABLE CONTRAPTIONS FOR YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY. MOST LIKELY THE PARTS FOR THESE MACHINES ARE AVAILABLE AT MEDICAL SUPPLIES STORES, OR EVEN IN PHARMACIES.
B/S/T Groups – You can find Buy, Sell or Trade groups whose members may be reselling their used nebulizers.
UPDATED: JULY 8, 2016: Kenko World — this Korean houseware store is a great outlet for Korean-made products, and these includes Nebulizers. They have units ranging from P880.00 to P1,880.00 as of last checking. Here is a link to their website.

Where to buy Cheap Christmas Decorations in the Philippines

happypinaymommy — Mon, 02 Nov 2015 16:38:20 +0000

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.

(Post Continued Below)

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

You may also want to read:

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

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 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.

Where to Buy Sewing Machines in the Philippines

happypinaymommy — Mon, 07 Sep 2015 12:05:58 +0000

Wondering where to buy sewing machines in the Philippines? (Photo Credits)

If you now want to take your DIY-ing to a whole new level and have decided to buy a sewing machine then this post is for you. I recently came up with a series of posts on where to buy sewing supplies as well as fabrics for your cloth diapering DIY project, you may want to check them out here.

This time, I have compiled a list of places where you could buy sewing machines in the Philippines, both online and brick and mortar stores. This is close to my heart since my mom is an avid sewing enthusiast and she has a couple of machines in our home, mostly singer ones. She has a nice sewing machine like this, a serger (which she calls edging machine — whatever that means), and she has a vintage one too.

So here is the list of where you can buy sewing machines in the Philippines:

1. Direct to Manufacturer/Importer – popular brands in the country are SINGER and BROTHER and they have their own outlets. Singer has stores in Abad Santos, Manila; Makati City, and Cebu CIty. Brother has a showroom in Marajo Tower in Bonifacio Global City. Ive been researching about Juki but all i saw are authorized resellers mostly for heavy duty sewing — which is not applicable to this post.

2. Lazada — If you do not want to get caught in heavy traffic while shopping, or want installment deals or pay upon delivery service then head on over at Lazada and choose a sewing machine there. You may want to get something like this or at least –-according to sewing experts that I know— those that are not too inexpensive if you want a good quality machine.

(Post Continued Below)

————

——————–
3. Appliance Stores — Automatic Center for instance always has a Brother Sewing Machine display so if you want to check out sewing machines in the mall this is the appliance store that you can go to. There are small Sewing Machines being sold in Ace Hardware branches, but i don’t think it is durable enough to last many sewing projects –sorry.

4. Port Area — if you are familiar with the port area, the old BIR building, or the Philippine Star Main office then you know this next location that i am referring to. This is the area where you can buy surplus sewing machines (they are actually across the Star’s office. Yes these aren’t air-conditioned stalls but you will have a lot of cheap machines to choose from). I think you can buy a Japan surplus sewing machine here for less than Php4,000.00 or something. Sewing Mamas Recommend Madam Zen’s Stall, i think she is pretty famous in there that you can just ask around where her pwesto is. The thing is most of the machines sold in the Port area do not come with user guides so for a beginner it may be difficult to use. Here is a link to the location.

5. Distributors/Resellers — yes, they usually supply industrial types of sewing machines but they sometimes do have household machines. Check out the website of Unixindustrial. If i understood it right they also sell second-hand sewing machines which they have reconditioned.

6. OLX — if you are OK with buying second-hand then OLX is your best bet. They have hundreds of used machines to choose from. Just take usual precautions on your online transactions.

7. UPDATED: Taytay Old Public Market — Thank you to one of our dear readers, Mommy Clarissa Ababan-Banez for informing us about the sewing machines that are for sale at the Taytay Old Public Market. According to Mommy Clarissa, most of the sewing machines there are for industrial use, but there are portable JUKI machines as well. In addition, Mommy Clarissa mentioned that some of the machines that are being sold there, some are second hand/refurbished. BUT unlike the ones that you can buy at the Pier, the second-hand and reconditioned machines over at the Old Taytay Public Market are all 220 Volts so you would not need a transformer anymore.

8. ANOTHER UPDATE: Sew Corner Manila — You can check out the many sewing machines being sold by this FB seller. Here is a link to her profile.

9. UPDATED: May 21, 2016: Sewing Needs by ol4uaccessewrize — this FB store does not only sell cloth diaper sewing supplies, it also sells sewing machines! well i dont know if they regularly sell SMs on their site but last time i checked they have a serger for sale. Here’s a link to their FB Page.

10. UPDATED: May 21, 2016: Craft Destash PH — Well technically this is not an online store but a B/S/T group where you can find individual sellers who are selling their personal craft items as part of a de-stash. You can find sewing machines here too! Join the group here.

So there you have it. I hope I have given you an idea on where you could buy sewing machines in the Philippines. I highly recommend this e-book on “How To Make (All-In-One, One-Size-Fits-Most) Cloth Diapers: Cover your baby’s bum in style with this step-by-step photo guide for fabulous, eco-friendly diapers” which you may buy here. The kindle version is really affordable, so you may want to buy one. Incidentally they also have a paperback version, which you may wanna check out here.

Hope you could drop by my facebook page and hit the like button so you could have happypinaymommy.com updates straight from your newsfeed.

Thank you and till next post.

Facebook and Online Cloth Diaper Stores in Manila. Photo Credits.

Hi Mommies! For those who will be just starting out in their cloth diaper journey, one question has always been hanging on their heads? Where to buy cloth diapers, and who are the legitimate sellers?

In Facebook and over at OLX you will see countless online stores peddling their cloth diapers, mostly china nappies.

But not all sellers are created equal, as they say. And most mothers would transact with sellers that receive great feedback in mommy forums.

Again, i am not an expert at Cloth diapers. Really far from being one, as i only use cloth-diapers on my kid on a part-time basis. (Update we have been ECDing now for more than two months!) Anyway, I am sure there is some FB shop in there that i have not checked out yet (if your favorite shop is not on the list, please let me know through the comments below or through my FB page). But from what i have learned from the local forums i hang out in, and from my own personal experience, here are the sellers you may want to check out:
