Bazaar: Babypalooza February 2013


Babypalooza Bazaar @ Ateneo De Manila University
February 16 - 17, 2013 (9AM - 7PM)
Walter Hogan Conference Center, Ateneo De Manila University, QC.


Babypalooza bazaar focuses more on items and services for babies, toddlers and expectant moms. It features both preloved and brand new premium items from wide list of trusted local and imported brands. You can expect to find Avent, Indigo Baby, Crocs, Crayola, and a whole lot more! I forget to mention that this bazaar has a special feature called the Vendor Protection Program (VPP) which ensures that the items of one Babypalooza vendor will not be sold by another. So you will be sure that your product design you choose is unique. 

So don't forget to book those dates and do your baby shopping at Babypalooza bazaar!
