You can still get your kids, nieces, nephews, and inaanaks presents they will squeal over during the holidays. Check out these three gifts for children that won’t involve a trip to the toy store.

Take your kids out on a pre-Christmas shopping splurge without feeling the drain on your wallet! The Christmas Kidz Kraze is a huge warehouse sale at Libis where you can enjoy up to 80% off on branded children’s apparel, toys, and shoes. Unlike most sales, this one happens weekdays and weekends, from November 14 up to December 23. Check out the poster for bazaar dates and hours.

When I was a kid, I used to feel sorry for grown-ups because they were too old to play with toys. Twenty years later, I realize that growing older doesn’t necessarily mean leaving your toys behind; it just means that the kind of toys you play with are more sophisticated, and often more expensive. I love Hobbes and Landes for their unique offerings of board games and brain toys, especially since they carry the Battlestar Galactica board game. Those of you who’d like to revisit your childhoods with good old fashioned analog toys should come to Hobbes’ warehouse sale next week, September 17 – 19. The sale will be held at Unit 3 Topy’s Building, 3 Economia Street, Bagumbayan Libis, Quezon City from 9 am to 5:30 am, and you can expect to get great deals on board games, toys, collectibles, and even pet items. See you there!

Watches can constantly remind kids that their time is running and they need to do what needs to be done right away,” notes Rachelle Diaz, blogger and loving mom to Aidan and Josh. “Kid’s Central Watches with character designs help kids become more aware of the time since these watches visually appeal to them. As they use the watches more, they learn the value of time in their daily activities.”

Without doubt, parents should give their children an early head start on the lesson of time management. And with proper guidance and the right tools such as Kid’s Watch Central’s character timepieces, kids will definitely learn this important lesson well.

Your kids can have a chance to win a Kids Central Watch watch. I will be giving away three (3) Kids Watch Central Watch. Note that the photos above will not necessarily be the same as the watches to be given out.

When I was a kid, I thought the worst part of growing up was that I’d be too old to play with toys. I did get older and I realized that age is just a number, and that adults can still very well buy toys if they please – especially since we now earn our own money! So if you’re a kid or a kid-at-heart with a fondness for toys and collectibles, you might want to head to the Power Plant Mall’s Focus on Toys on June 26-28.

Focus on Toys is the first leg of Rockwell’s Focus on Collections series, and this weekend you can expect the mall to be invaded by robots, admire vintage toys and Lego, and awe at the marvel of the Transformers 2 display. On June 27 there will be a cosplay competition where amazing prizes await winners, and on June 28 the 501st Stormtrooper battalion will be marching across the mall.
