The Great Holiday Toy Sale

Are you always excited to go shopping so that you can buy gifts especially to your godchildren? Have you reminisced or even missed your childhood days when you are buying toys at any amazing toy store like Toy Kingdom? How do you plan your gift for your godchildren, nephews, nieces or other children? How do you also budget it? Are you a person who is willing to wait for the sale at any toy stores? 

    Usually when I am passing by the Toy Kingdom I am taking time to look for the toys to think what can be my gift for my godchildren and how can I save budget. So as I've already plan my target expenses for the gifts then I've also listed down the things that I am going to give for my godchildren including nephews and nieces. Just because I am trying my best to save budget then I've already bought the other things at the regular price as long as I can afford it. But that is not the case that happened because while browsing on facebook on Friday morning I've seen the announcement that there will be up to 70% off on selected items at Toy Kingdom I was excited about it. Since the place was in the hall of SMX I am thinking otherwise if I should still go there even if I've already bought the things for the kids. The date of sale was only limited for 3 days so I find it really hard if I am going to continue going there on the day itself. I am also thinking if I should go there on the first day or last day because I am also worried for the last day because I doubt it if I can still buy good quality toys that are in the lower prices. Finally I am decided that I want to buy another gifts to have another chance of choosing the good items at lower price so after my office hours from Makati I just go straight ahead to Mall of Asia. As I entered the SMX there were many people buying there already but at least it is not crowded. I could imagine what would that be by tomorrow and on the last day if I am going to buy there. I could assume that it is already crowded and maybe I won't have any chance to buy good items that are discounted. More so I was overwhelmed with the wonderful toys or items I've seen that is why my gift plans were changed as I've seen the other toys or items that I want to give for my nephews and nieces.  First I just picked up the toys then later on I am going to decide if I should avail it or not because it depends on my target budget too. 

      I have this thought as well if I can already buy good Winnie the Pooh doll for my nephew Apollo just because he really looks like him. Ever since it was my dream plan to give him a doll of Winnie the Pooh but I have no chance because it was really expensive at regular price which indeed I can't really afford to buy it. That is why I started to find the doll if any chance and even asked for it. I saw the stall where I found there is Winnie the Pooh doll so I went there but when I saw the dolls I am not that satisfied with it because not all qualities were good. The other dolls are not in good proportion and yet even the price is already discounted I can't still afford to buy it. I saw the one Winnie the Pooh doll that is in good proportion and very soft that is totally huggable but the problem there is it was dirty on the face that can be obviously seen and seems like it was written like a crayon or any other blackpens. I can't decide if I should still get it because that couldn't be worth for the price due to its discrepancy. The Toy Kingdom employee told me she can give it for Php 600 but then I still have this second thought of availing. I got the chance to ask more discount as Php 500 because of the discrepancy, at first the employee was hesitated then she asked permission and good thing they agreed on it so that I can have it. Before that due to my hesitation as well to get it I just called Melynn (sister-in-law) if there is chance if the doll can still be cleaned, so she told me it can be still bring it to the dry clean and there is chance. That is the time I already availed the Winnie the Pooh doll because that is the only opportunity to buy the supposed to be the expensive doll which is Php 2000 and original quality. If I am not going to do that then I am thinking and worried as well for more Winnie the Pooh dolls that it has possibility to increase such as Php 3000 which is I can't afford it more and more.
  

    While roaming around with the Winnie the Pooh doll to search for other gifts then someone asked me if how much did I availed for the Winnie the Pooh doll, so of course I told her that is just Php 500 though I realized if she will be going to that stall if the staff will do the same and she will be asked if how come in my case as I was given lower price. Well not my problem already but at least I am done. The other employee from another stalls even told me there is dirt. I just ignore it or I told him that is just low price.

       Roaming around again to see the other items or if I haven't found other things to buy at any chance. I saw the face towels of Snoopy that is just Php 25 each which is not bad for the gift. I availed it because I can suggest it to Edge (my boyfriend) that he can give to his godchildren since he has no idea on what to give and he has no time for shopping due to his busy schedules. I just gave him help and he appreciated it.

       My decision is already final that I want to go home and my shopping cart is enough. I just deducted the other toys or materials to save my budget. The lines were long but I am sure that is not yet the longest line that I encountered. After paying I took the cab going home and excited to give the doll to Apollo my nephew. By the time I am already at home I gave the doll to Apollo already and he was overwhelmed with smile on his face. He even talked to the doll and hugged it to the fullest like his long lost brother, he also slept with the doll. The other day his mom told me that he even picked the book and read story of Winnie the Pooh to that doll. Finally my dream of giving Apollo the doll was accomplished.
