TheraPlay

i do not know if you have heard of TheraPlay.  i saw their booth at the guess mossimo mango sale last weekend (this is still ongoing until sunday, 5th december).  their products are so interesting.

according to their catalogue (this is given out for free), their products are great for kiddie gyms (like the little gym, gymboree, or those planning to start a similar establishment), schools, therapy centers, nurseries, daycare centers, toy stores, home play and parks.  they have tons of products from kiddie gym equipments, that help develop the motor skills, coordination and body awareness, to giant building blocks, big parachutes, water and sand box table, pocket charts, ring toss elephants, desktop manipulatives, pvc wipe boards, toys sorter, playhouses, imaginary stages, classroom furnitures, and even toddler beds.

Gymboree Playtime Promo

i got this from my mailbox.  it came from mom center.  moms and dads out there whose babies are still on diapers, this might interest you.


i'm thinking of letting my son try gymboree for a change.  he has tried the little gym and he enjoyed playing on their equipments immensely!  i hope it would be the same at gymboree.  

gymboree has lots of locations.  just check their list for the ones nearest your place.  call them up first for the best time to bring your child as they have different programs for different age levels.  although there's free a play time slot.  by the way, they also accept parties.

Nexcare Tattoo Waterproof Bandages by 3M

the first time my son saw his new Disney Cars bandage, he soon forgot how icky he felt the last time i placed a bandage on his finger.  we should applaud companies like 3M for coming up with products that appeal to kids and, in the process, make parents' lives much much easier.

Nestle Ice Cream Party Package

ice cream is always a hit among party-goers, especially kids.  so why not avail of nestle's party packages for your party.  they will deliver them to your venue, so no hassle for you on the day of the event.  
 
and if the birthday celebrator totally loves ice cream (like moi), why not have an "ice cream party"!  this theme never goes our of style -- trust me on this.  rain or shine, an ice cream is always a welcome treat.

now if you have more questions, don't hesitate to send them an email.



have a sweet and cool party!

Birthday Party Planning Tips and Suppliers Directory

birthdays should always be fun and memorable events.  so it's best to be armed with the right information and suppliers that will help you plan the best party your loved one will surely never forget. 

are you ready?
LET'S PARTY!


first things first.  remember these tips before doing any shopping spree and inviting those very eager guests:
1.  decide on a budget... and always remind yourself to stick to it.  you may be tempted to go all out along the way (you'll think.. it's for my son's 1st bday, he has to get the whole shebang..), but think about all the other stuffs in your household's list of monthly expenses that you and hubby have to pay for (like insurances, tuition fees, emergency fund, mortgage/rent, etc) before taking the plunge.
together with the budget is your party checklist.  include there the important details of the party, like:  date, time, venue, number of guests, caterer, decorator, theme, budget, entertainment, games and prizes, photographers, videographer, and others.
2.  take note of the celebrator's age when deciding on your party's timeslot.  if it's for your child's 1st birthday, check his nap time.  make sure it won't coincide with the party time.  otherwise, you'll have a very sleepy, grouchy celebrator.
3.  ask hubby's help in creating an initial guest list.  this way, you'll know beforehand how many will be from his and from your side.  and if the party is for an older person like your tweener, includer him/her when making your guest list.  
moreover, the number of guests you will generate here can help you decide where (and not to mention how big) to hold the party.  do take note of where 60% of your guests will be coming from.  example, if most will come from quezon city and caloocan, don't plan a late afternoon party in alabang.  unless you are sure all are willing to take the very long drive to and from the party.
4.  if possible, follow a theme.  this will tie up the whole event -- invites, costumes/attire, food, entertainment, games, decor, etc.  remember that the party theme is something the celebrator (not you, unless it's your party) personally likes.  your 7-year-old barbie-fan daughter will definitely give a fuss once she peeps inside her highschool musical themed party.  and you wouldn't want that.
5. book your suppliers early.  take this seriously especially if your party will fall on peak months like december, january or february which are also the peak months for weddings and reunions.  and remember, when you book suppliers early, you get more freebies and lower rates.
6.  if any of your siblings, parents, or bestfriends volunteers to "donate", welcome them as they will help you get more things done and booked without spending a penny more.  but please don't forget to thank and acknowledge them before the party ends.  they may just be more generous on your next party. *wink*
7.  always remember who you're planning the party for -- your son, daughter, husband, father, mother, and so forth.  sometimes, we tend to get carried away while planning the party.  we tend to infuse things we want, then force the idea upon the celebrator hoping he or she will love the idea too.  or oftentimes, we plan the whole party with the guests in mind -- just for the show, if you know what i mean -- and forget it's for our one-year old baby who will never even remember he had three main photographers and two back-ups taking photos of his every whimper and smile.  please restrain yourself from doing these.


now, i hope i have listed everything you might want to know before party-planning.  take the above tips to heart because you'll surely need them along the way.  you may share them to your friends or amigas.

for the list of suppliers, you may check the following websites:

That Elusive Daycare

are you looking for a daycare center where you can leave your child while you're on a quick client meeting, have a bad yaya day, grocery shopping, or having your nails done for some "me time"?  here are some centers you might want to check out.  i just hope they're near your place as daycare centers are so difficult to find in metro manila even at this day and age. 


Smarty's Playplace
18 Mapagkawanggawa St, Teachers Village
Quezon City
-- you can leave your child with them from monday to sunday, whether for half day or full day.  rates differ depending on your need.  if your child has special needs, they have a healing therapy center which you can tap.  this is practically an indoor playground for kids where they can play pretend or simply goof around.

Star Kids Daycare International
Greenbelt 3 and Virra Mall Shopping Center
02.727.1614
-- weekdays from 11am - 7:30pm only.  kids should have companions while inside their daycare.  they only accept kids from 3 years old and above.  if you want to avail of their unlimited play, rate is P300/day.

Michael's Playhouse
(near Ateneo in Rockwell, look for Ms Nina)
02.754.8020
-- quite upscale.  rates already include meals (organic food).

Kalinga Daycare
(inside UP Diliman, Quezon City)
-- this is the best i've seen so far.  it's very affordable too.  but there's a long wait list, so if you're really interested in enrolling your child, go there asap and bring their needed docs.  goodluck!

please don't hesitate to inform me if there are still more daycare centers out there which i've failed to add in my list.  thank you!
