Shopee Finds: My Fave Purchases so Far

These days, people are into retail therapy where they shop a lot to make themselves feel better. Others are just impulsive buyers who add to cart items that caught their interest. With the emergence of online shops, shopping became more accessible and easier and it has become a trend to haul from online shops

I’m not a shopaholic like most people these days. I don't do hauls and such. I usually just buy books in the e-commerce platform, Shopee and other needs. But these past months, I’ve made purchases that aren’t actually necessities. I just bought them because I wanted them with the justification that I deserved those things.

And here are my favorite ones…

1. Vintage Envelope with Letter Paper

I wanted to write a letter for my boyfriend so I tried to find cute stationeries online. But, I figured that I’d like a vintage design more. I searched in Shopee and there are only few choices. I came across this product with 5 stars as rating, however, only few have bought it so it was a little of a risk. But, I really wanted the design so I bought it.

It turned out really good and the item was in good condition when it arrived even when it was from abroad. The packaged contained two envelopes, four letter papers, a tie and a cute medallion-like pieces which is part of the design. It just took its time to be delivered but that’s understandable because it’s an international purchase.

The item has a good quality. My boyfriend like the letter and was giddy about it.

2. Cute animal ears headband

This is really cute and useful! I have a lot of baby hairs that gets in my way when I’m studying. So, I needed a headband and then I found this cute little ones.

It’s price were good for the product. I’ve been using it for a long time now and it’s still good as new. Just wash it, though.

We bought matching ones with my boyfriend so I think it’s also a cute gift idea for your loved ones.

The hairclip was cute too and with good quality. I’ve only bought one because I have already bought too many clips and I need to calm down. It was just too cute so it was hard to resist.

3. Phone cases

I bought these two phone cases and honestly, no regrets. The actual products are same as the picture. It’s the hard type of cases and the quality is good. They both serves their purpose of protecting the phone

Many shops offer different designs. Just choose a good shop by looking its ratings and reviews.

I’d definitely buy more if I’ll need it again. It just took its time to arrive but it’s worth it. I think phone cases in physical stores are much more expensive, with limited designs. You’ll also take a lot of time inside their shop, choosing for the best design. Online shopping is more convenient.

4. Pleated Skirt

I wanted to gift myself something. I’ve been wanting to buy skirts like this because it’s giving soft girl vibes. This type of skirt can also be styled in different ways. I think it is flexible.

The ratings and reviews were generally good. You just have to make sure you pick the right size. Look at the reviews for reference. It arrived in good condition with no damages. The skirt has safety shorts connected to it so you’ll feel secured even when it’s a little short in length. One of my favorite purchases really.

Online shopping is really addicting. That’s why we need a lot of self-control. I know it makes us feel better when we shop. The feeling of waiting something that’s meant for you is really exciting. It makes us feel happy when we’re all caged inside our homes.

But, we should always remind ourselves not to waste money and time. Let us be smart in our purchases. We should buy from shops with good ratings and good reviews with reasonable prices. We should also make use of vouchers.

We can only enjoy things if we’re not compromising too much. Happy shopping, everyone!
