It was extremely difficult not to give in, since Pot's birthday was coming up. She's been begging us to get her Shopkins (blame it on those Toy Review Channels in YouTube). At first, I was against it because they are small but pricey little toys. Alas, I couldn't anymore.
Pots and I traveled from Alabang to Quezon City on Saturday morning. Since, my 5-year old was sleeping over my sister's house, we decided to just use public transportation. Saturday traffic is always a pain.
So after more than an hour of traveling, Pots was shrieking at the lobby of the building all excited. At first I told her that I was just visiting a friend... no toy store! She didn't really say anything but you can see her eyes droop. Imagine my delight when the elevator opened to a floor full of toys!
The reaction was priceless. She was running around like a silly little hen! We got what we came here for:
SHOPKINS! |
Shopkins was the biggest hit of 2014. It was sold out on the first day but I called Richwell and used my charm (more like beg!). One kind man reserved the last two packs for me - one 5-pack Season 1 and one 12-pack Season 2. I love that smile!
I know you are all waiting to see what was there. Here are some good deals.

And wouldn't you know it? Now Nemo is going crazy for Shopkins, too! Why oh why is it always collectibles? :) Oh wait, I used to be a kid. It's because they're an absolute blast to count, play with, and count again.
Cheers to all, and do count on more articles from Grown-Ups soon.
