My mother has started doing her annual holiday giveaway shopping at Living Well. She bought quite a bunch of stuff there- some umbrellas, soaps, a couple of microwaveable storage containers, pitchers (these ones I particularly wanted for myself if I had my way), and scented candles. For herself, she bought a few pots and pans (I love love love shiny new pots and pans!) and a second Swing Away can opener...
The Swing Away Can Opener
Let me tell you about the Swing Away can opener. I bought one a few months ago upon the suggestion of one of Living Well's sales persons after I lamented about how all the can openers we ever got at home rusts up and falls apart after just a few uses. (It was partly due to my mom's insistence that those all metal cheap ones work best, never mind that they get rusty and fall apart after just a few uses...) Anyway. I must admit I was apprehensive at first since it is pretty cheap at less than Php200 and works on the same principle as one of those can openers I swore I would never touch with a ten foot pole with. But the sales person assures me that it's tried and tested having been using one himself. That clinched it for me and, well, I am never doubting him again. After having used it for the past few months, I can confidently say that the Swing Away can opener is the best can opener I have ever had. It works like a dream and is tough as nails. I swear by it. Now, my mother does, too.About my mother's shopping spree-- She looked like she really enjoyed her time picking out her gifts at Living Well. She got quality, useful and best of all unique gifts and got amazing deals on her purchases. Plus, the sales people there were very helpful and knew their products very well. Me, I helped out with the gift wrapping by throwing in my free gift wrapping coupons from my stash of Guordo's passport boarding passes.
Now, with their 10th year anniversary sale, I'm sure we'll be hauling more stuff from Guordo's or Living Well until the end of the year. Good thing I am not done with my own Christmas gift shopping yet. I'm sure my mom can use a few more gifts from there as well.
