Gifted Give Away

So, Mother’s Day is coming up.

I won’t be with my own mom this year, but I will be with Nino’s mom, and I’m sure we will all do something special to celebrate our day. Nino’s mom isn’t the easiest person to shop for. It’s not because she is hard to please, but rather it’s that she really has everything and does not need anything new! 

Most of the time, I give her cute little things like the latest framed photo from our family photo session, or I ask the kids to make her something I know she will enjoy for herself like Gia’s Tres Leches cupcakes, or sometimes, I just ask the kids to make her a card and write something special for her. 

Lola’s are always happy to receive notes from their grandchildren, aren’t they? But, of course there are times when I would like to GIFT her something more…

And this is why, I am so happy to share about this new website which gives someone like me the freedom to GIFT someone like Nino’s mom with a special treat where she has choices.

When you want to give a gift to someone, all you have to do is visit www.gifted.ph and start shopping.

Register and create an account with your user name and password first.

You can choose from clothing retailers, restaurants, yoga studios, children’s clothing retailers, and even just depositing to your recipient’s bank account with cash if you would like.

Once you have chosen the type of GIFT you would like, you create a Greeting Card for your recipient.

You fill in the text of what you want your card to say. I love how it shows you exactly what it will look like.

And then you choose your method of payment. It’s that easy…Your electronic GIFT Certificate will be sent to the recipient of your choice via email.

How easy is that?

Now…say you received a GIFTED Gift Certificate and you would like to redeem it?

It’s just as easy to redeem, print, shop and/or eat.

And because I wanted to try it out for myself to see just how easy it is, I chose Alba’s as my GIFT to Nino. We enjoy Alba’s for our date nights because it’s close, the food is great, the sangria is yummy, the servers know us, and there is live music. It’s like that when you have a favorite restaurant, no? The servers remember you, and they treat you like family. That’s how it is EVERY time we visit Alba’s in Westgate. 

My favorite Paella :-) I have yet to try and make this dish on my own...I would rather make it a date night and spend the evening relaxed with my BF.

My favorite Paella 🙂 I have yet to try and make this dish on my own…I would rather enjoy it for a date night at Alba’s and spend the evening relaxed with my BF then in the kitchen.

I think this was my first time to have this dessert? WHY???

I think this was my first time to have this dessert? WHY did I only know about this one now???

And it was that easy when it came time to pay. The folks over at Alba’s got it right when they tied up with GIFTED! How easy was that? 

So, the folks over at GIFTED want YOU to be able to experience just what it would be like to send or receive a Mother’s Day gift this coming May 10th. They have given me three GIFT certificates to give away to three lucky readers in the amount of Php 500.00 each! 

All you have to do is:

1. Like Gifted Philippines Facebook Page

2. Follow @gifted-ph on Instagram

3. Post a photo of the special someone (or yourself) on Instagram, whom you would like to enjoy the gift certificate on Mother’s Day, and WHY they are so special to you. REMEMBER TO TAG BOTH @mommanmanila AND @gifted_ph IN YOUR PHOTO.

4. Follow @gifted_ph on Twitter

5. Tweet about the giveaway through the Rafflecopter widget.

6. Sorry-contest open to Philippine residents only. 

GOOD LUCK!

I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes toget I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes together so easily. When Sandra Cheng shared that she was willing to share more about her benefits of @easecox.ig essential oils with our buddies, the team and I quickly brainstormed a program flow that was in line with this opportunity to learn. 

Grateful for @monicaemanzano who was so game to share a movement segment from @flowretreats. She thought of @curatedgoodfood who generously shared preservative free dimsum which goes perfectly with our healthy sammies from @h2v2partyneedsandcatering. @komida.foods has been a consistent supporter of our mission and events since last year. We are grateful for their continued mission of providing healthy snacks for our events!

We opened with @joanngue.mlg pranayamic breath work, moved on to a yoga flow with Monica, followed by mindfulness with @enzoarmovit, a gratitude circle, and then esssential oils for beginners with Sandra from Easecox Philippines.

What a wonderful morning spent with our Buddies in BGC! 

Thank you to everyone who made this event so easy to conceptualize and mount! 

PS. If you would like to be a buddy. Please PM me. Bugsy and I are so blessed to have one another and I love that we get to do things like this together!
Colors. My first girl got to go on her first med Colors. 

My first girl got to go on her first medical mission in October. 

Gosh, they grow up so fast. 

We bought her new scrubs for the trip. It feels like yesterday when I was buying her green skirts and black Mary Janes for grade school.

Now she’s all grown. On her way to becoming a doctor.
At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado turned to me and said “Mom, thank you so much for bringing me here. I love Frozen.” 

As Gelli continues to grow up, some things remain the same. Her love for princesses, her love for her siblings, having fun with the family, and music and dance in any form. 

What an enchanted evening we had visiting the Samsung Theater in @_circuitmakati to watch the FROZEN film in CONCERT with a LIVE ORCHESTRA. From the moment Gelli hear the orchestra’s accompaniment to the film, to the vocalists who sang along, she was mesmerized.

Thank you @dotdigitalph for inviting Gelli to experience this up close and personal!! She had a blast!
