It's my favorite time of the year!!! January and Baby Company brings you the Grand Baby Fair Year 8, once again at the SM Megatrade Hall 1-3. It runs as early as January 25 with a sneak peek for Mom Card, BDO rewards card, and SMAC card holders. Event proper is from Jan. 26-28 with the doors opening at 10 AM until the mall closes. Their tagline for this year is "the grandest baby fair to the moon and back" with cutesy galaxy designs and spacemen and astronauts abound. There are lots of great deals and discounts start from 10% off up to 70% off on the widest selection of baby & family-oriented brands like Goo.N diapers, Aveeno, Ecomom, Cycles & Cradle, Crane, and many more! Every day brings a new set of speakers who are celebrities and experts in all things baby. There are also fun contests where there are lots of prizes at stake. Just watch out for the rubber humps on the floor that make walking and pushing a cart around a nightmare.
I went with two of my mommy friends and spent a good chunk of the day going round and round the 3 halls filled with baby stuff. Our targets were to shop wisely and stick to our P5000 budget. Why that amount? For the Swag Bag of course! Get a Swag Bag for a minimum single receipt purchase of 5000, just present your receipt and your Mom Card at the Swag Bag booth. They have 2 booths: 1 by the exit and 1 by the escalators. I proudly say we stuck to our goal and went just a tiny bit over budget. Here are our top picks for today:
There is a really long line at the cashier but it moves quickly so don't despair. Plus if you're a breastfeeding momma you can find the breastfeeding room at the end of the hall where the cashiers are. Also, if you need help transporting your purchases from the Megatrade Hall to the taxi bay, there are staff who help you push your carts, you just have to get a number from their head security. Before you leave, get your photo taken at the photo booth by the entrance. They give out free prints and are happy to take a picture using your cell phone. I and my friends had a blast at the Grand Baby Fair as always, we missed some booths like Lillebaby Philippines and toy booths but it was still great fun going around hunting for bargains. You still have two days to check it out so make sure to include dropping by the Grand Baby Fair part of your weekend!
