VLOGS| Grand Baby Fair Year 5

You know you're a mom when you missed the National Bookstore Warehouse Sale for the 2015 Grand Baby Fair. But that blog post is for another day.

 


Husband and I originally planned to go to the sale on its 2nd day (January 30). Unfortunately, traffic is bad (as usual) on that day so we had to post-pone it and went on Saturday (January 31) instead. 

This was the first time for me to go to a baby fair. When I was pregnant with our first, we were in Cebu and I'm not sure if they held an event like this there (I was mostly on bed rest then). I was so overwhelmed, ang daming tao! There are also a lot of things on sale: clothes, feeding essentials, diaper (cloth and disposable), wipes, etc. There were also booth for Cord Life, Wilkins, some photo studio (for your newborn or maternity photoshoots).

Although we were only there to buy baby clothes, we still have all the gears from when Maggy was a baby, we can't help but go through each aisle and look at the merchandise. I noticed that there are more sale items for baby girls than baby boys. 

Here are some guide to survive a baby fair:

1. go to the venue early - before 10am, if you're planning to bring a car because the parking is a nightmare (-_-)
2. make a list of items you're planning to buy - this makes it easier to stay focused even if you see a lot of great deals.
3. set a budget - even if all items are on sale, it will get expensive the longer you stay there.
4. bring water for drinking - you may not feel thirsty, but all that walking and scanning for the best deal will dehydrate you

There, how's that for my first trip to a baby fair? If you want to see the items we bought, I uploaded a baby haul on our channel. 

Let me know if you have other suggestions on how I can do better on the next baby fair. :)
