Happy long weekend, everyone! While it still bothers me to greet everyone a “Happy Independence Day” for tomorrow’s celebrations commemoration, I thought of sharing a few things from a new brand that I’m eyeing on Shopee called Anker, an electronics brand which is quite popular for their powerbanks. For now, since I’m not yet fully sold on how independent we are as a nation this year, let me just share this list for people like me who are taking a simple and small step towards independence in their own lives – like moving out and living alone!

Here are the best deals we found so far, which might be able to help those who are going solo:

1. PowerCore II Slim 10,000mAh PowerBank + Micro USB

Original Price: Php 3,040

Discounted Price: Php 2,432

Some of my friends in the events industry use this to keep their mobile phones charged without relying on other people and outlets in different venues.  

2. Eufy Cam Kit 1080p Wire-Free Security AI Camera

Original Price: Php 29,995

Discounted Price: Php 28,495

For those who want to live solo, it might be best to install a security camera at home! Tough times call for tougher security measures. This 1080p AI Camera is good enough for you to monitor who lurks around your place.

3. SoundCore Select Stereo Speaker

Original Price: Php 4,195

Discounted Price: Php 2,996

It comes with a warranty card that is good for 18 months while having a price tag similar to smaller speakers in the marker. It’s outdoor-proof and has a 24-hour playtime via Bluetooth. It’s a must-have especially for people who like blasting songs at home whenever they’re visited by friends or family (note that big gatherings are not yet allowed during quarantine, though).

 4. PowerPort 4 40W 4-Port Foldable Wall Charger

Original Price: Php 1,995

Discounted Price: Php 1,696

To be honest, the 1BR units that I’ve been looking at for my own #IndependenceDay journey are quite small and they all have limited outlets for my gadgets. So for those who are considering to fly solo soon, this 4-port foldable charger might be helpful in keeping at least four of your gadgets charged on only one plug.

5. Eufy Baby Monitor 5-inch LCD Display

Original Price: Php 11,396

Discounted Price: Php 8,396

For the fur moms and dads (or those with actual babies), a baby monitor can help us check in our furry pals at home when we need to go to go to work or run errands outside. This item from Anker has a 110-degree wide-angle  lens, 720p HD resolution, and a 5-inch LCD Display which also works in the dark.

These are just some of the many things you may find at Anker’s official store at Shopee Mall. Purchasing items here is as good as getting products from the mall since we’re all entitled to warranty cards and product returns for damaged items. For those who are not yet familiar with the app, you can download it via App Store or Google Play or place orders via browser at shopee.ph.

No matter what kind of independence you’re longing for this weekend, I hope you’ll be able to grasp it soon! Just make sure you’re equipped with essentials – from food to gadgets when on the move. Remember to keep safe and healthy, everyone! 🙂
