A few more weeks, Halloween will be over. Christmas decors will soon replace the pumpkins, bats and ghosts in our homes. I already bought Christmas gifts, for some people on my list, a few months earlier. But I still need x-mas gift ideas because I still have a few more people to buy gifts for.

Any gift ideas that you might want to share?

They can also split the gift card across multiple merchants, enabling the ultimate user choice and control.

By the way, just in case you want to say Hi! to the staff, their office is located on Hollywood & Vine in the beautiful Taft Building, the former home of Charlie Chaplin, Will Rogers, and the Academy Awards.

What: Toy Kingdom Super Sale

Where: 2F SM Megamall, Toy Kingdom

When: until June 30

I took advantage of Toy Kingdom's sale and did my early Christmas shopping. I bought gifts for 40+ people for only Php550. The bear that Santa gave RJ for Christmas 2009, it's on sale for only Php150. Good thing my friends doesn't know that I have a blog because I can rant, rave and be proud of my being a cheapskate mommy here!
