This is a holiday meme hosted by The Filipino Mom Blog. Yes, the Christmas season is officially here. Of course, shopping is inevitable during the season of gift-giving and moms all over are on the hunt for fabulous holiday finds.

Here are the mechanics of Fab Holiday Finds:

1.You shop for holiday finds - they could be decor, food, gifts, the clothes you got on 70% off. You can also share about a certain shop or bazaar that simply dazzled.

2. To make it more interesting, let’s do a “colors of Christmas” theme per week. But to give everyone more time to prepare, week 1 won’t have a specific color theme.

• Week 1: any color
• Week 2: White
• Week 3: Silver
• Week 4: Gold
• Week 5: Red and Green

3. Post photos on your blog. Don’t forget crucial information such as where and how much. Grab the badge above if you please.

4. Drop a comment on the round-up post here on FMB, so we can link back and visit you. As with the Lunch Box Meme, we’re doing this every Tuesday this month.

I'm glad that the a specific color isn't required for the first week. Thus, I am sharing my fab find for myself: a new pair Reebok rubber shoes! I was scouting for new shoes that I can use for the gym. Luckily, I received an invite from BPI about their Big Outlet Sale that was held at the Megatent (beside DepEd along Meralco Ave. Pasig) last Nov 21-23. I noticed that weekend that there were a lot of events around the Metro encouraging people to shop till they drop. I am not really a fan of sale events but I go to one when I am on the hunt for something.

The products that were on sale during the event were well known brands like Nike, Puma, Adidas, Marks and Spencer, Apple, Abenson, Olympus, and others from specialty shops. Items went for as low as 70% so we really rushed to the place after fetching Rap from his Math training session at Poveda.

I got the shoes for only Php 1,300 when the original price is Php 3,195! So that meant I got around 60% off! Now that's what I call a fab find!
