When the West has Least Offers - Eastwood

Eastwood is the place to be when bazaars seem old to see. :)


Whoever said that Christmas shopping must be spent solely on bazaars and night markets must be wronged when East Wood City has trinkets stored to offer the general public. The Yuletide Season has already begun and various stores are just around the corners and crossings of almost any street in the metro. Whereas quantity prevails quality these breezy days, malls have become an antique during the season of joy, for such offer quality products at the expense of economics.

From towering skyscrapers to local lucrative residences, Eastwood City and Eastwood Mall boasts of a higher living standard with amenities strategically placed nearby. Officially instated on 1997 by Megaworld Corporation, it was a given that Eastwood would be the crowning glory of industrialization in the Philippine context - only seconded by the famous Makati City - in terms of growth rate.

The grandeur that Eastwood City and Mall has reached its peak yearly - even exponentially daily, as its market value increases with top paying and hiring BPO's leasing, if not owning, within the vicinity. With its major tenants like IBM, Dell, Citibank and eTelecare, it has been not a wonder of how Eastwood achieved its profound name in the industry.


Local stars even hold concerts and tours in this place, not to mention holiday shopping and everyday mall walking. It has been a usual sight to see budding and super stars strolling inside the mall premises for quite a sum of them live nearby in the local residences afforded by the city. Accordingly, Eastwood Mall boasts of it Walk of Fame - a counterpart of the infamous Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Inscribed therein are the names of stars who usually made a mark in the Philippine Cinemas or local television.

Perhaps these truths have been the sole reason as to why Eastwood has been tagged as a socialites' haven, therefore making it inaccessible for middle-middle class denizens. From dazzling displays of light every night and its famed fountain, Eastwood has really become a spectacle to see, especially during this Christmas season. And since it has been tagged as a rich place, people are daunted to be in here.


Regardless of the fact that Eastwood Mall is an affluent place to be, Christmas shoppers must not have second thoughts of being in this wonderful place in the first instance. Since it is one of the most industrialized places to be, Eastwood has a vast array of shops and boutiques to suit almost any need you have - be it gift-giving or simple leisure time. Also, Eastwood will be having its annual sale, and since it is Christmas, there is no letting down with St. Nicholas this year.

Since Eastwood has its own staggeringly complete mall, it boasts this season its yearly sale. To see more details about the specific dates of their sales, here is the link for you Christmas shoppers to feast eyes on: Sales Galore. And now that Christmas is just days ahead, Eastwood will be open in peak and late hours - even so provided by the same link shown.

Why we love malls you say?

Since there are lots of ideas to consume those gift cards into, the dudes provide you with the best places and must-be's to spend those gifts from ninong's and ninang's who thought of giving in-kind this season.

1. Shopping Malls

Flexibility. That's the reason the mall gift cards take the top spot. If you don't have any specific gift or type of gift in mind, you can simply go with a mall gift card and let the recipients choose for themselves. The options for them to redeem their gift cards are tremendous.

 

2. Music, Media & Books

There are several stores around the metro that include all three, and it's a good idea for those "one stop shoppers." Buy a round of gift cards for everyone on your list at a place like those below, and the recipient can then choose between a CD, movie, book, game, etc. 

 

 3. Clothing 

Some of the better clothing stores are, of course, inside the metro area malls. But often times, it is better to buy from a specific store when you know for a fact you want to give an item of clothing. Gift cards to clothing stores erase the need for checking sizes and tastes ahead of time and simply let the recipient know the intent and spirit of your gift.


4. Movie Theaters 

The gift card for a movie theater is an excellent choice for the movie lovers, but it's also a great choice for others as well. A trip to the movie theater is an opportunity for a family to spend time together, a couple to have an enjoyable evening or friends to meet up. Some would suggest experience is a far better gift than anything tangible.

5. Restaurants

What a broad category of opportunities. Depending on taste, you can purchase gift cards for many upper tier restaurants, family establishments and even fast food places. Most people love to go out to eat and don't get enough chances to do so. If they get a gift card, though, odds are they'll make time and have a blast.

Watch out for Brand-Fakes - Tips on How to Spot the Best Branded Jeans Your Money Can Afford

Did you know that some manufacturers estimate that 50% of the designer jeans sold in malls, retail stores and online are fake? While we all love the look and feel of a pair of the hottest designer jeans, the thought of spending hundreds of dollars only to find out you just bought a fake is upsetting. The great news is that by following the tips in this article you can buy designer jeans anywhere with a since of confidence that you are getting the real deal. So next time you are shopping for designer jeans here are some things to look for:

Take a very close look at the fabric. Fake designer jeans by definition are cheaply made and the denim is often a coarse material that will feel stiffer and heavier than premium originals.

Pay close attention to the quality of the stitching. Premium designer jeans manufacturers take great pride in their workmanship and reject samples that do not adhere to their strict quality standards. Uneven stitching and loose threads are very good indicators that you are looking at fake designer jeans.

Virtually all designer jeans have some sort of signature stitching on the pockets that makes them unique. Go to the manufacturer's website and become very familiar this because sometimes the difference in fake designer jeans pocket stitching is difficult to spot. If you notice a difference, you can be almost certain you are looking at a fake.

Designer jeans labels will often be the easiest way to identify a fake. Fakes will usually have subtle differences in writing or label quality. Both paper and fabric tags are usually made of cheaper materials than their authentic counterparts. If you spot an exterior hangtag with different paper quality, font or twine attachment it is almost always a fake.

Inspect the buttons. On some designer jeans the buttons are pretty close to the original, however, some buttons are different sizes, have letters missing or in some cases the wrong buttons completely.

Now you have a number of ways that you can identify fake designer jeans. If you keep these tips in mind and spend a little time to get familiar with the specific characteristics of the brands you like most, you will quickly become an expert at spotting fakes. This will be very helpful to you because while there are a large number of fakes around, there are plenty of great bargains on originals around every corner.

Remember that when it comes to shopping for clothing, full retail is for suckers.
