Christmas Sweets at S&R - Gift Suggestions Starting at P149!

I haven't been to S&R in ages, so it was a pleasant feeling to see a LOT of holiday-themed merchandise on the shelves. Allow me to share with you the interesting things I found today during my grocery run at S&R Congressional. 😉 If you see anything you like, better head there ASAP.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a sponsored post. Haha 😜
 

Oreo Candy Canes (P189)

AKA the best thing to happen to candy canes! 💙

 

Hershey's Kisses Mint Truffle (P299)

I've been buying this every December since 2009! 😍 However, I got it at a cheaper price at Lucky Chinatown Annex. If you can't be bothered with the Binondo traffic, buy it from S&R instead.

 

KitKat Mint Miniatures (P349)
 

M&M's Holiday Mint (P249)

Lahat ng mint gusto ko! HAHA 🙊

 

Mentos Choco & Caramel (P99)

Mentos Choco & Mint (P99)

My sister just bought me a Mentos Choco & Caramel roll from Thailand. I thought it was exclusively available in Thailand until I saw these! 😍😍😍 The Choco & Caramel variant is from Holland, while the Choco & Mint variant is from Russia.

Harry & David Peppermint Bark (P1,399)

Harry & David Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark (P1,399)

Expensive kaso peppermint so I included it narin. LOL

 

Krispy Kreme Coffee Thins in Original Glazed (P149)

Krispy Kreme Coffee Thins in Caramel Macchiato (P149)

Looks so good! 🍫 This one also has a caffeine kick!

Pepero Double Dip in Sweet Yogurt (P299)

Pepero Double Dip in Cafe Latte (P299)

HUGE boxes of Pepero - can't pick between yakult flavor or coffee! 😍 

Hershey's Kisses Giant 12oz (P899)
 

Look O Look Candy Cake (from P149 to P299)

Diabetes in the making but so cute!!!

IBC Root Beer 4s (P179)

Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer Non-Alcoholic 4s (P249)

I don't like softdrinks in general, but IBC is the BEST root beer I've ever tried. Butterscotch Beer here is cheaper than in Healthy Options. 

 

Jack Daniel's Liquor Chocolate Bar (P219)
 

Jack Daniel's Chocolate Tin (P599)

For the pabebe lasinggera in you. I want the chocolate tin version since it's made of dark chocolate with JD whiskey milk chocolate ganache! The chocolate bar version is milk chocolate with JD in syrup form (?) and it isn't too appetizing for me. These are nice gifts to give though! 

 

Hoegaarden Rose 6s (P589)

Hoegaarden Beer 4s (P389)
 

Hoegaarden Beer 6s w/ FREE Hoegaarden Glass (P584)

My favorite beer in the world! 😍😭

Hope you liked my S&R finds. Puede na ba kong maging buyer/personal shopper niyo? Hihi. I usually don't like receiving food as gift since I want to be able to keep a gift for a long time because of the sentimental value that comes with it, but these are nice exceptions. 😃

Love,
Helen

OMG Flavors: Oreo, Chips Ahoy! and More

When I met up with my favorite friends from high school early this month, we bonded over (wholesome) drinks (AKA milk tea!) and a potluck dinner over at my friend's house, just like the old times. :D

And then, after dinner, I discovered my friend's stash of sweets - with unique flavors that will make you say OMG! :D

Cool Mint Creme and Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos

Cool Mint Creme Oreo

I love anything mint, this one is no exception! :D

Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreo

This one is different from the Strawberry Oreo we have in the supermarket. This one's Strawberry Ice Cream Oreo, similar to the limited edition Blueberry Ice Cream Oreo we had a few years back - the one with the cooling sensation!

Goody Gulp Strawberry Milk Drink

No, this one is not from my friend's room, but I figured that it would go well with the Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreo. Pink overload! :D

Goody Gulp Milk Drink is made from New Zealand milk, and is a natural source of calcium, vitamins, and minerals. The best part is that it contains no preservatives! It also comes in a chocolate variant with SpongeBob SquarePants on the packaging. You can find Goody Gulp in Robinsons Supermarket, Puregold, Rustans, Shopwise, 7-11, MiniStop, Chams, Metro Gaisano, Landmark, South Supermarket, Tropical Hut, and Ever Supermarket.

Chewy Chips Ahoy! with Reese's Chocolate

It may not look that appetizing on the photo (sorry about that!), but this is one of the best variants of Chips Ahoy! I've tried. Reese's instantly makes everything better. ♥

Reese's Pieces

Just like M&M's, only there's peanut butter inside!

Biscocho Haus Butterscotch

This one was from my friend who currently lives in Iloilo. Butterscotch is one of Iloilo's specialties, and this pack was emptied in just one sitting, so I couldn't agree more. Haha!

Assorted chocolates and teas I hoarded from my friend! (Thank you!) :D

I called this "my loot from the event"! Hahaha!

And since were currently on the topic of tea, here's more!

Pickwick Teas

These were from my former colleague. My favorite would have to be Peppermint!

Twinings Infusions

Here's my latest obsession - not really tea, but fruity and herbal infusions from Twinings! These smell sooo good, and I love that it's caffeine free, so I can enjoy "tea" time, anytime! Next time I drop by Landmark Supermarket, I'm getting a whole box of Twinings Infusions in Raspberry & Echinacea! (New favorite!) :D

Love,

Helen

Green Tea Ice Cream Oreo

My friend came back from China and got me this as pasalubong - Green Tea Ice Cream Oreos! Amazing how they come up with so many different flavors in other countries. The ones we have here are just the vanilla, chocolate, choco-peanut butter duo, and the blueberry ice cream (which was discontinued).

The cream has a cooling sensation that simulates ice cream. I like it a lot! Well, it's green tea, so what's not to like? It's really good and I wish we had this here in the Philippines.

What's your favorite Oreo? :D

Love,

Helen
