Lazada 9.9 Sale - Sneak Preview of the Surprise Box!

I have always been intrigued by mystery bags and surprise boxes as the curiosity of not knowing what to expect can be so exciting! Hence, i was actually rather depressed when the Singapore government decided to declare those mystery box vending machines as "a form of public lottery" and stop their operations. :( 

All's not lost yet; as part of the 9.9 promotion by Lazada, you can still enjoy the thrill of a surprise box sent to your house and 99 boxes, consisting of items valued at S$100 or more, would soon be up for grab at either S$29 or S$49 each! 

As part of the sale, some items are also discounted at up to 90% off and you may get up to S$99 worth of vouchers! Darn, hope i don't breech the S$2,000 self-imposed limit on my credit card this month! 

Thanks to Lazada, i had the privilege to be given a box and it was freshly delivered this evening! I had indicated interest for another category but the personnel from Lazada kindly called to ask if i am agreeable to another one by Universal Traveller.

For someone who loves travelling, i didn't hesitate to express my approval although i think i might not have heard his exact words carefully; the words i missed out were apparently "Winter Travel Accessories"!

Now, people who know me would be aware i don't travel in winter as i am dead afraid of the cold that chills the bones! Granted the value of just this pair of winter socks was already priced at about half the value of the surprise box; i simply have no use for them in hot and wet Singapore! 

You know what's the funniest thing? I was given a pair of pink gloves! This reminded me of my few affiliations with pink stuff; from the Pink Ferris Wheel in Sapporo to the pink room i was allocated at Taiwan Cingjing Misty Villa. 

Am i surprised by the box? I definitely am but i am afraid they (including the two other items which i am not allowed to share in this blog to "retain an element of surprise") are really not of much use to me . 

Coincidentally, my younger sister is going to Australia and i passed the entire box to her. p.s. bet she is going to love the pink gloves. 

Lazada 9.9 Sale is starting in a few more days! Bookmark the page and check it periodically for good deals; i think the sale of the surprise boxes would start earlier from 06 September and at the moment, there are already "crazy flash sales"!
