Have you heard of people who toss coins in fountains? How about people who wish upon a falling star? How about people who wish before blowing the candles on a birthday cake? I certainly have heard of people who believes in the power of making a wish (or a wishlist per se) and I am a believer myself - nothing to lose so to speak. I take every chance to make a wish and for the most part, I love making wish lists because I believe wishes do come true in their perfect time - maybe later, tomorrow, or in the near future eventually.
I was in our boarding gate waiting for our flight back to Manila from our annual family trip when I read the email from ShopBack. My husband nudged me and asked why I was smiling to myself. I told him about the email I just read and he had a smile on his face too. I'm sure you would also smile when you know that your wish could be granted just by blogging about it. Ain't that double the fun?

Before I share the items in my wish list, let me tell you first about my favorite online shopping destination to date. I call it my shopping portal that gives back. Wink!
ShopBack.ph is a cashback site that pays us, shoppers, to shop online. Consumer payments come in the form of savings - no need to line up to claim for reimbursement. Easy peasy! ShopBack already has a foothold in Singapore and Malaysia. As of this writing, ShopBack is now the #1online cashback/rebates site in the Philippines.
Sounds complicated? Nah, let me give you a little explanation. When you go to ShopBack.ph, you'll see a list of merchants stores. You just need to click the SHOP NOW button and a new window will lead you to your favorite online store so you can browse and shop to your heart's content. After you make your purchase, the cashback will be reflected in your ShopBack account. You may opt to have your cash backs sent to your bank account or your Paypal account.
ShopBack has over 300 partner merchants like Zalora, Lazada, Agoda, Hotels.com. iTrueMart, Melissa, AliExpress, ASOS, Expedia and more - virtually all your shopping whims will be catered to from fashion to travel to electronics to food. If that isn't awesome enough I don't know what is.
Essentially, ShopBack merchants reward them with a commission for referring shoppers to the shop on their site. Instead of keeping the rewards all to themselves, they share them to online shoppers like me and you and your family and friends too.
HERE'S A VIDEO TO BETTER APPRECIATE HOW SHOPBACK WORKS:
Now that you are more familiar with how ShopBack works, here are the six items that I have included in my wish list and these are all available through the partner merchants.
PARTNER MERCHANT: Lazada
ITEM BRAND: American Tourister
ITEM DESCRIPTION/DETAILS: Tokyo Chic Spinner 67/24 and 77/28 Luggage Bundle (Matte Burgundy Stamp
CASHBACK POTENTIAL: 12% cashback (non-electronics)
WHY I WANT THIS PRODUCT:
My husband's luggage always loses a wheel when we travel and we don't know why. My luggage luckily always arrives unscathed. I am putting this in my wish list because I want to give this luggage set to him on his birthday next month. I am sure he will be happy and it will be put to good use as he is always traveling for work.
PARTNER MERCHANT: Lazada
ITEM BRAND: European Cast Iron
ITEM DESCRIPTION/DETAILS:
CASHBACK POTENTIAL: 12% cashback
WHY I WANT THIS PRODUCT:
I am crushing on several Le Creuset cookware but this orange cast iron casserole would do for now. I love that it is bright and it also looks sturdy and also made in Europe. Who knows it could be the next best thing and I would love to cook more for my family using this.
I think for good measure, I would like to include an Apple iPad mini 3 16GB (gold) which I will use for my Sing and Play sessions with my toddler, Viktoria Summer. She loves singing and dancing and I love that she can now follow moves and can recognize melodies. She instinctively claps when she loves a song playing. The iPad mini sold on Lazada are all way above Php10,000 but I guess it's possible for me to top up the price in case my wish will be granted yeah? Here's to wishful thinking!
PARTNER MERCHANT: Sephora
ITEM BRAND: This Works
ITEM DESCRIPTION/DETAILS: Deep Sleep Bath Oil (100ml)
CASHBACK POTENTIAL: 8% cashback
WHY I WANT THIS PRODUCT:
The almost 100% humidity in Denmark made my screen so dry and I still am nursing some dry spots until now. I have been religiously slathering lotion all over my body for the past week or so but it's not enough to hydrate my skin again. I need a more potent oil to ward off dryness for good.
PARTNER MERCHANT: Zalora
ITEM BRAND: Anne Klein
ITEM DESCRIPTION/DETAILS: Analog Watch
CASHBACK POTENTIAL: 4% cashback (existing Zalora customer)
WHY I WANT THIS PRODUCT:
I recently lost my watch and I have been wanting to replace it but I just could not squeeze it in my budget anymore. This watch looks so classic and it will really make me look more put together when I wear it.
ITEM BRAND: Melissa Shoes
ITEM DESCRIPTION/DETAILS: Mini Melissa Classic Baby & Mini Melissa Monkey Boot
CASHBACK POTENTIAL: 5% cashback
WHY I WANT THIS PRODUCT:
My daughter loves the designs of Mini Melissa shoes. She has outgrown a few of her shoes already and these two shoes would be a great addition to her collection. She is attending playschool already and so we have to always be out of the house to attend her classes and these shoes would complete her daily OOTDs. Ahh my little fashionista is growing up so fast and her foot garb needs some upgrade too.
But of course, an overnight stay in a deluxe room (pool view corner room please) in one of my favorite hotels in the metro would be a welcome treat as well. I don't think I need to explain myself why I want this item in my wish list yeah? Of course, we all want a little respite from the hustle and bustle of daily living. If you want to check out Fairmont, click the link and then get a cashback of 3%. Again, when you purchase through ShopBack, you save a portion of what you spend and that's always better than nothing.
