Best Online Shops in the Philippines Part 2

Part 2 of Best Online Shops in the Philippines is finally up! My first post on online shops in the Philippines is one of my most visited and I knew I had to make a part 2 to help more readers search for the perfect gift for themselves and loved ones. My first post got me a chance to be featured in Working Mom magazine where I shared some advice and tips about shopping online.

This year I discovered a few online shops that were really excellent to work with. There are also a couple of sellers that I ordered from again. My priority when working with online shops are the payment options, delivery fees and delivery time.

As much as I’d love to go to the mall to do my shopping I just don’t have the time. As a work at home mom, I’m always in front of the computer so I take full advantage of that and use online shops to get items I can easily purchase and have delivered to my home.

I was really impressed with these new sellers I worked with since I got to my Christmas shopping a little late. They were all able to deliver though and I was so happy to see my loved ones enjoy their gifts.

Your Shopping Bag

Kianna is a big Bethany Mota fan but the thing is you can’t find her products in any of the local stores. She has a clothing and accessories line with Aeropostle but the local stores don’t carry her line. I had to do some major research but I was able to find a Bethany Mota necklace and it was the one Kianna had been mentioning.

The online shop that came through for me was Your Shopping Bag who sells on-hand and pre-ordered items from stores in the US. Luckily, the necklace was on hand. I made a request to cover the item well in case my daughter was the one to receive the package. I liked that they put it in a pink Your Shopping Bag eco bag.

Lazada

Lazada was in my Part 1 list but it was worth mentioning again. This time around I got their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mikey set which Jael had been requesting.

The set comes with full combat gear from the bandana to the ninja stars.

The Dream Shirt

I’ve ordered from The Dream Shirt previously as well, and they delivered on Bastian’s request for this Okay? Okay. shirt from TFIOS.

I gave this to Bastian prior to Christmas since he wanted to use it for their Christmas party at school.

Straightforward Clothing

It was a challenge trying to get something that Bastian would like. He’s not at all materialistic and we had already shopped for clothes which is what he wanted for Christmas so I wasn’t sure what to get him. I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw that Straightforward Clothing had a deal on their fleece hoodies. Just Php888 and free shipping to boot.

Straightforward Clothing started as a clothing line for everyday campus wear. Now their line has shirts, shoes and tailored shorts. These are made in the Philippines and I love the idea of supporting our own.

I succeeded in surprising him and getting that gleeful smile. Bastian loves the hoodie and I got the right color!

Human Heart Nature

Human Heart Nature is extremely popular and you can order their items from many sellers but I’m completely biased because my good friend Joan sells these and she has an online shop that also sells safe, all natural choices for you and your family.

They also sell Organic Salted Duck Eggs, Organic Boneless Daing na Bangus, Pure Epsom Salts and more. I’ve been wanting to try their exfoliating bar!

Paper Pliers

I was searching for a gift my best friend Jenan would love. She’s an avid book reader like me and I thought she would find this bookmark cute. It’s a personalized handmade bookmark and you can even choose the charms that come with it.

I was browsing through their catalog and saw their handmade necklaces and wanted to get one for myself. You can choose the length of the necklace to your liking. They laso have bracelets they can make. As it’s handmade it does take some time to get the item to you so it’s best to order ahead of time if you’re giving it as a gift.

My Domesticity

What do you give your boss and his wife? It’s a tough question at times especially when it seems like they have everything they could want. For the past few years I’ve been getting items such as picture frames and scents and giving it as a gift to them both but this time around I wanted to get them gifts that they would be able to use. They’re very generous and caring and I thought a gift that they could use and something that also gives back at the same time would be perfect for them.

Through my search I found My Domesticity, Filipino company that manufactures handicraft products made of Pandan and other indigenous materials. They employ 20 family members of sugar workers, and out of school youth from our family owned sugar farm in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental. All of Domesticity’s workers are beneficiaries of the Gawad Kalinga Village in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.

I wasn’t able to take pictures of the actual products but these are what I ordered from them. I had a bit of a problem with paying through my PayPal so I asked a good friend to help me out. They worked hard to get my order to me in time as I had ordered only 5 days before our scheduled dinner with my boss and his wife but I got my order in only 3 days.

If you have any online shops in the Philippines to recommend I’d love to hear about it!
