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"!

[Advertorial] 

If you have been following my blog, you would know i am not into advertorials and prefer to pay my hard earned money to review food, products. 

That said, i am the kind who enjoyed buying mystery bags from the HDB mamak shops when i was young and when Lazada sent me an email to participate in an upcoming Great Singapore Sale (GSS) campaign from 06-08 June 2017 and the item is a surprise box, i jumped at the opportunity! 

The exciting moment of anticipation as i opened up the Lazada x Jabra box; content was said to be worth over S$100 and if you manage to grab a box during the campaign period, it will be heavily discounted at only S$29 each! Make a video of you unboxing it, add in the hashtag #lazadasurprises and you might just walk away with attractive prizes! 

So, What's Inside the Box?

Jabra Screen Cleaner Sticker

This used to be the rage in the past and was often given as small little corporate gifts. What has Jabra, an audio headset company, got to do with screen cleaning!? Beats me. 

Nevertheless, i actually like this nifty product! Of course, it has its explicit usefulness for the phone screen although as a spectacle-wearer, it's more important to keep my glasses dust-free and fingerprint-free! 

The piece given was rather larger and fit nicely on the back of my humongous Otter-Defender iPhone Plus casing. I am just hoping its stickiness would last for a longer period of time; the last one lasted only about two weeks. 

Jabra Step Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset

The item that cost the most in the whole box and obviously the highlight for today's posting. Honestly, i was a bit disappointed as i recently got a headset for over S$150 and i usually don't start on a new device until the last one is spoilt! 

Missing out a significant point and realising it only when i was taking photographs for this posting can change disappointment into happiness.

How could i miss out the word 'wireless'?! Even though i am hesitant to use Bluetooth for my daily weekday journey to and fro work (given their drain on battery life), i thought of one activity that has lain dormant for far too long.

It would be perfect for jogging! I might have stopped the cardio exercise for more than 8 years but with weight that's increasingly harder to lose, drastic measure must be taken and i have been procrastinating for far too long! 

A closer look revealed that it's in-ear pod; a feature i detest as they usually don't fit my ears! Never be too quick to judge as the design does allow the ear pods to be kept into place.

Time to start jogging again! Speaking of which, the potential weight loss would require a necessary change in wardrobe and there's no better time than to check out Lazada's Great Singapore Sale's where there's up to 90% discount off items and flash deals every 2 hours with attractive offers!

p.s. there's a missing 3rd item from the box. It was there a day ago but i was asked to remove it to add to the mystery of the "surprise box". Shrugs. Frankly, you wouldn't miss much from the lack of information for the 3rd item.
