Hello there dear mommies! Get ready to do some serious shopping because the SM Baby Company Grand Baby Fair is back!! The fair will open on Jan. 27 and will be on until Jan. 29.

I wrote about my first SM Baby Company Grand Baby Fair Experience in this post It’s a great fair to go to when you want to shop for supplies for your kids. All the major brands that SM’s Baby Company carries are in the expo and most of their stuff are all on sale!!  Our favorite mompreneur-owned brands such as Next9 and Indigo Baby have booths there too! I highly suggest that you drop by Next9 and look for ubermom Jen. If you want to learn about baby wearing or cloth diapers Jen is THE mom to ask! You can also scope out new things and new brands for your kids and baby at the fair.I had a lot of “oooh meron pala nito” moments while I was at the Megatrade Hall.If you’re building your baptismal registry or birthday registry for your kid you’ll get great ideas from this event as well. As for me,  I want to buy DW some stainless steel cups and utensils to replace his old, BPA-free ones that are too small for him already.

I hope the payment system is more organized this time around. I posted pics of the big long line that snaked through the entire hall at the last event. There were a lot of preggy moms waiting in line with their ever patient husbands. I saw how tired they were already but their baskets and carts were filled with supplies for their new baby already!

Oh and mommies, if your purchases reach Php 2,000 you can take home this swag bag:

This bag is filled with goodies and samples from Pampers, Johnsons’ Baby, Avent, Playtex, Enfant and a lot more!

If you’re based in Metro Manila, just head on over to this blog’s FB page here and like the pic of the swag bag that I just uploaded It’ll be a quick giveaway and it will end on Jan. 29. I will ship the bag to you via JRS Express. I will pick the winner via raffle and will announce it on the FB page. Good luck guys and happy shopping!!

So imagine the smell of a newly renovated book store….

Powerbooks (who has come onboard as Manilamommy.com’s newest sponsor YAAAAY!!!) invited yours truly to its newly renovated branch in Trinoma. With DW and BDW in tow, we trekked to the mall and you know what the whole place smelled like a million bajillion new books were opened! I don’t know if it was all in my head but I loooooved it!

The newly renovated Trinoma branch was bright and definitely spacious. The bright lights were great for reading and the store was definitely easy to navigate. There were store guides too which you can ask for store products and of course book titles. Of course there were plenty of seats and reading in the store is encouraged

DW and BDW went straight to the kiddie section:

I went straight to Dr. Seuss

DW loves books and loves being read to. At home, we’ve arranged his books in a shelf that ‘s just at his level so that he could reach for his books anytime he wants to.

Robby Da Silva, Marketing Manager of Powerbooks has this to say about the renovations of the Powerbooks Branches:

We renovated our Trinoma branch as part of our on-going brand building initiatives. The new store look was unveiled on June 2010 with our Greenbelt 4 flagship branch then followed by renovations in SM Megamalll and more recently Trinoma.

The new stores boasts of a more vibrant, young and colorful environment that will be a new haven for the casual book reader and book enthusiast.  Once inside, the spacing of the circular aisles now provides every customer a feeling of comfort. The open expanse of the store is enhanced by its physical topography, making browsing for books inviting and easy. The new signage offers new colors and an improved insignia: the flipping of the pages suggest that Powerbooks will always be moving with the dynamically varying needs of its patrons.  The current store look philosophy is that the store will remain continually flexible and transformative to the needs and demands of its customers.
