Let your child decide what to do with the Bilibo!

Posted by soutv on January 30, 2012


Ever heard of a toy that comes with no instructions at all? A toy that does not have any how-to’s but instead lets the child who receives it decide what to do with it? Now if that piqued your curiosity, then be baffled no more!


Presenting the Bilibo – a product designed in Basel by a young Swiss designer named Alex Hochstrasser. The Bilibo was made possible via a collaboration between Hochstrasser and the Head of the Department for Growth and Development at the University Children’s Hospital in Zurich. And yes, it looks pretty interesting.

Hocusadabra met with Hochstrasser and we can definitely say that he’s quite an inspiration.


The Bilibo, Hochstrasser’s masterpiece, is made from high density polyethylene. Hocusadabra.com currently has the mini and the standard versions available. The Bilibo Mini comes in various colors while the standard Bilibo comes in pink, blue, red and yellow. And the magnificent thing about all of this is that the Bilibo is currently 25 percent off!


So order yours today at www.hocusadabra.com (Enter CNY25 at the checkout) – don’t wait, just do it – place an order and heave a sigh of relief! This is one purchase you will surely be thankful for!

How to celebrate the birth of a newborn baby the most thoughtful way

Posted by soutv on January 12, 2012

Newborns are definitely blessings. A new addition to the family is always pleasant and welcome news. And what better way to celebrate the birth of a newborn baby but by presenting the new and proud parents with two fabulous fresh fruit arrangements from Edible Arrangements Hong Kong? Fresh fruit bouquets as newborn baby gifts are great and thoughtful ways to say congratulations to the new parents and welcome to the new and precious family member!

One of these fresh fruit arrangements is what Edible Arrangements Hong Kong calls “Bundle of Joy.” Apart from pineapple stars and daisies, strawberries, honeydew, cantaloupe and grapes, the Bundle of Joy fruit bouquet even has a balloon bundle! The arrangement also comes in a cute duck keepsake which, by the way, is not a toy but a child’s coin bank.

The second special fresh fruit arrangement fit to celebrate the birth of a newborn is the “Precious In Pink.” With pineapple stars and daisies, honeydew, grapes, cantaloupe and strawberries, this fruquet is perfect to toast the arrival of a new baby girl! The “Precious In Pink” fruit arrangement also comes with a light pink elephant keepsake that also doubles as a child’s coin bank.

So what are you waiting for? Log on to the official Edible Arrangements Hong Kong website today to order online. Free delivery can be arranged for orders placed at certain times.

Social Media in Asia

Posted by soutv on January 5, 2012

Believe it or not, Asia is now the place to go to if you need to be talked about on Twitter. Asia is the place to contract people in if you want your Facebook Page to literally be full of messages, comments and “likes.” And it’s really not difficult to explain exactly why. Simply put – Asia is where the action is. With 909,000,000 Internet users across Asia alone and with 750,000,000 of those using social media, you know that Asia is the social media lord. It’s where social media is happening. Big time.

Recent studies even show that as much as 81 percent of Asia’s top brands use social media. This means that not only do top brands believe in the power of social media but consumers themselves also engage in social media and believe in what they can come across via social media.

This is pretty much a giant step forward especially for companies that used to strictly stick to traditional methods of promotion, marketing, branding and advertising. This is also welcome news for consumers who are now undoubtedly more engaged in social networking these days and who would rather see (and even buy) their preferred brands online. This also means that consumers are now open to the possibility of them being “ambassadors” of sorts of their preferred brands — e.g. if they see something good from their brand, they would not hesitate to share it with others via social media.

Birthday fruit bouquets – new idea for birthday cake

Posted by soutv on January 4, 2012

We’re pretty sure that many of you will agree when we say that birthdays can be a bane sometimes. While it’s great to celebrate a person’s natal day, it can also be quite a challenge especially for people who need to give the birthday celebrant gifts. What type of birthday gift is appropriate? What birthday gift will be most appreciated? Plus there’s the challenge of bringing a unique birthday cake. Is there even a good alternative to this?

Good thing there now are birthday fruit bouquets and in Hong Kong, there’s only one store that can produce the most stunning displays of fresh fruits arranged to look like real flower bouquets! Edible Arrangements Hong Kong creates the most beautiful fresh fruit arrangements using only the healthiest and juiciest fruits that everyone loves. Absolutely great alternatives to birthday cakes!

Take the case of the Birthday Bouquet with chocolate dipped bananas. Wouldn’t this lovely creation composed of fresh strawberries, juicy pineapple stars, grapes and fresh bananas slices dipped in combination of gourmet white and semi sweet chocolate be a way better birthday present and birthday centerpiece? It’s healthier and will even serve as a great conversation piece!

Visit the official Edible Arrangements Hong Kong website today and see all the wonderful possibilities. Be the best birthday guest by giving or bringing thoughtful birthday gifts!
