Truly Rich Recommendations {Events}: Babypalooza Bazaar 2012 + A Giveaway by Mommy & Baby Essentials! :)

November 18, 2012 by Tina 1 Comment

Shopping for mommy, baby and kids items nowadays has become significantly “easier,” especially if you live in urban areas like Manila. Actually, with the Internet, you don’t even have to leave your home to buy this or that item — I’m sure you’ve bought something online at least ONCE in your life, right? 🙂 (One of my FAVE online stores is , but then, I’m a certified ~~hoarder of children’s books~~ book-lover and hope to raise my kids to be the same!)

Still, going to bazaars and events specifically geared towards moms and their families is a whole lot of fun, and I try to make sure we attend at least one or two such events every year — even more, if our schedule permits! 🙂

One such event coming up is the Babypalooza Bazaar on Friday, November 30, 2012, at the Walter Hogan Conference Center in Ateneo de Manila University.

From the press kit (with a few side comments from moi, teehee!):

The Babypalooza bazaar focuses on items and services for babies, toddlers and expectant moms. It features bothpreloved and brand new premium itemsfrom widely trusted local and imported brands. Items from Phillips Avent, Vulli (Sophie the Giraffe), Carter’s, Dr. Brown, Calvin Klein, Tiny Buds, Red Tag, Gap, Human Heart Nature (one of my favorite brands of all time!), Osh Kosh and tons of other stuff produced by Manila-based mompreneurs and from well-known brands will be sold on-site at negotiable, parent-friendly prices. A lactation consultant will also be on-site to offer FREE breastfeeding tips and counseling. (I love that they’re breastfeeding-friendly! 🙂

A special feature of this bazaar is its Vendor Protection Program (VPP). The VPP ensures that items that will be sold by one Babypalooza vendor will not be sold by another. This will ensure that buyers will not see the same stuff from several vendors over and over again, making their visit and shopping experience much more fun and worthwhile J (Isn’t this a great feature? It will help you narrow down your shopping choices and save time too!)

Items that will be sold are baby clothing, shoes and accessories, gear, strollers/baby furniture, feeding bottles, nursing wear, breast pumps, skin care and cleaning products. Services such as umbilical cord banking, bronze casting and pregnancy/breastfeeding massage (I could use a good pregnancy massage right about now, LOL!) will also be featured. Edible products such as organic baby food, pastries, pasta and other food items will be sold on-site.

The venue is fully air-conditioned. Free parking and entrance.
