Preparing For Baby's Arrival


Gabriel & Myself, dont believe in all the superficial beliefs that you can't buy anything for Baby until the day she is born... We know of many people who still does practice that belief!
Example.. My Own Dad! My Grandmother and a few of my Aunties...
We completely understand and respect whatever they feel... because everyone has different views..
But we're different... We believe in Preparing for Baby's Arrival just so it doesn't get Chaotic especially after the Baby is born.. can you imagine juggling baby & purchasing items??
It's too overwhelming... for me at least! 
We like being prepared and ready! And besides.. it gives us plenty of time to research on things!
Things we need, Things we don't, Good bargains, and so much more!

We are all about...

Yes that's right!! Bargains! Sale! Clearance! Everything must go!
LOL
Who doesn't like a good deal in Singapore!????












My Husband is the man in charge for Bargain Hunting! 
Yup that's him!! The HUNTER!!

He really is a Genius when it comes to this! 
He can hunt anything, anywhere, anytime!
He's that good!! I just stamp...

On items i think are worthy! Even Second hand items are a real Steal!
There are so many websites that you can visit to get Awesome Second Hand goods!

The first one we came across was:

http://www.stclassifieds.sg
On Stclassifieds, you can do online shopping, post free ads and get second hand items at amazing discounts! Usually Half the price! 

The other one we came across was:

http://singapore.craigslist.com.sg
On Craigslist, everything is second hand! And a lot of Expats actually post their items mainly because they're leaving the country! So you get really good deals!

And lastly is a Baby Warehouse called 
Baby Hyperstore! 
You can find them on Facebook!
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Baby-Hyperstore/210720945623666
They have Weekly,Monthly and Yearly Sales! All Brand new but at a wholesale price!



Moving on to things we have purchased So Far.........

First Exciting Purchase!
Baby's Cupboard!
I will go more into detail on how I Organized it and what it contains in my..
Preparing for Baby's Arrival Video!

After Opening up Our Piggy Bank that we were saving for Baby..

Our Next Exciting Purchase!


HER BABY COT AND EVERYTHING IN IT!

Everything was purchased from IKEA Tampines!
IKEA has such a good selection of Baby Things at Reasonable Prices! 
I highly recommend anyone to get their baby stuff from IKEA!


We had seen tons of Baby Cot at IKEA.. ranging from $100 to $500
We didn't want something so ridiculously expensive because we've heard so many people say that it only lasts 1 year or so because baby's don't like being in it after a while..
Which we agreed on... So we went for something strong and sturdy and price wise in between...

We purchased her pillow,blanket,mattress,quilt,bedsheets and bumper from IKEA!

Next Exciting Purchase!
Another Baby Cupboard 
Which I will also go more into detail on how I Organized it and what it contains in my..

This cupboard we got it off Craigslist! It's Second Hand and in Excellent Condition! 
We got it for only $30! That's it! $30!
And this is how Gabriel brought it home!!

Yes I know!! SCARY!!! He drove from Tanjong Rhu back home to Sembawang! LIKE THAT!



Next Exciting Purchase!
HER BATHTUB AND CHANGING PAD

We got her Bathtub from Stclassifieds!
For only $10
We didn't want to spend on a new one because same thing with the Cot.. She'll outgrow it pretty quick!
We're still missing her Foam Mattress Inserts for the Tub! Which you can find at MotherCare for $25!

The changing pad we purchased at Babies R Us! For only $19..
Which was such a good deal too!

Babies R Us is another amazing baby store! They have Everything Baby and Mummy related there! 



Next Up Are Clothing Pieces, Shoes,Socks,Onesies,Swimwear that were either gifted to us or We bought for Baby!
Our favorite Destination for Baby Fashion??

H&M has an awesome selection of Baby Fashion and Maternity Fashion 
You may think its Expensive.. But it really Isn't!!  It's actually much cheaper then Kiddy Palace and all those little Push Carts stores!
And the Maternity Fashion there is OMG!! So trendy!!
More on that in my Future Blogs!! 



Next Exciting Purchase!


Our Quinny Buzz Stroller and Carry Cot!
Quinny Buzz was the only Stroller we wanted!! It's so Sleek and has awesome features! 
Want to find out more?? Check out this link below!

This too we purchased Second Hand! From Stclassifieds!
It's In 9/10 Condition!! And we got it at Half the actual Price!! 
It looks almost brand new!! They gave us the Stroller Plus the Carry Cot!! 
We didn't want a new Stroller as well because we've heard its pointless as well!
Baby outgrows it very quickly! So that's why we decided on going Second Hand!
