Rustan’s Holiday 2011

Only nine days before Christmas and I’m not done shopping, simply because it’s slim pickin’s for anything in Manila.
For me anyway (thank God for Johnny Air!).
Family members are the hardest to shop for, especially mom and dad. But between mom and dad, I would say Dad’s gift gives me the most stress.
That’s why I’m here to make life easier for you, by posting some of what Rustan’s has to offer—mostly for the women in your lives.
Find them at Rustan’s Ayala Center Makati, Alabang Town Center, Gateway Mall, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Robinsons Place Manila, Ayala Center Cebu and good luck!
P.S. I don’t suggest you have your gifts wrapped at Rustan’s because it’s gonna take days, I imagine. Wrap your gifts at home! That’s one of the best things about Christmas.

Gilda knows

Forever 81
By Gilda Cordero-Fernando

Philippine Daily Inquirer • Sunday, November 27th, 2011

I like Kidlat Tahimik (aka Eric de Guia) because he tried to build a galleon. I like stage director Jose Estrella for being a girl named Jose. I like Recah Trinidad because he still receives mail addressed to Ms Trinidad. Also Ambeth.
I like Joven Cuanang because he can do 32 things at the same time. I like Satur Ocampo when he’s not talking communist. I like Manny Chaves because he fills in the blanks when I forget what I’m talking about. Raymond Lee? I will steal his pink shoes!
But I love my normal friends just as much as my dented friends. Normal friends never object to things you say. They just suffer in silence. I promised my seriously dented friends that I would not write about them, so I just drew them.

Care for the Rare

As a mom of three boys (ages 3, 8, and 10), I can tell you they still appreciate plush toys.
Just this afternoon, Rustan’s sent two pieces from their endangered animal collection. Since there were two I gave them to the two younger ones. Christian got the cockatoo and Markus got the mouse deer

Trouble ensued when Ben apparently liked the mouse deer too. Luckily it didn’t turn into a biggie as they have tons of other plush toys.
I think it’s great that Rustan’s has collaborated with renowned plush toy manufacturer, Gund. Together they have produced an exclusive 11-piece collection of endangered animal plush toys. Supported by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the aim is to spread awareness among the young for the conservation of Philippine Endangered Species (PES).

Says Rustan’s President Zenaida Tantoco: “Rustan’s is proud of this collaboration with Gund because it is one of the more creative ways to spread awareness to our loyal customers. Not only will you receive a nice plush toy for Christmas, you will also know more about what’s going on in our environment.”

From now until December 31, 2011 a minimum single receipt purchase of Php 10,000 gives you a chance to choose any one of 11 GUND toy designs. Just present your receipt to the concierge to claim any of these special gifts:
Philippine Eagle (Haring Ibon) and Blue-Naped Parrot (Pikoy)
