You can take the girl away from the shopping centres, but you can't take the shopping bug out of the girl!
One would think that with me stuck at home, I won't be able to shop much. Think again! I just splurged over the last few days on some online shopping, tempted by the low US dollar and the concierge service of a website called ComGateway.com. It's lots more user friendly than VPost, although I won't be surprised if they are affiliated.
Am so pleased that all my purchases have been confirmed and I should be receiving them by next week. First up is the Maclaren Lulu Guinness 'Life is a Bed of Roses' stroller that I had to have the moment I spotted it months ago. Trouble is, it was only available in the UK and US but there was no shipping option to Singapore. I couldn't find anybody to lug it back for me, and the high British pound then would mean me paying almost $200 in shipping costs from one retailer's export department. Anyway, last week I found it on sale at a US site, and my friend who ordered a similar stroller through ComGateway ended up paying $90 for his shipping, so I decided to finally place my order. Can't wait for it to arrive, here's a sneak peek!
Swana and me also decided to buy some Bath & Bodyworks online, their hand soaps were on sale and again, the low US dollar was tempting. Soon we will be smelling of Brown Sugar and Fig and Midnight Pomegranate! Plus, I purchased a new OiOi diaper bag and matching changing mat. It's another one of those things I spotted online months ago which finally went on sale. You know I can't resist a sale!
