Well, I have to say that "gift with purchase" takes on a whole new meaning in Myung Dong. I went to Missha (a Japanese-based company) to restock on facial cleansing products. I bought about 30,000 Won worth, as I had run out of everything all at once. At the register, there were a variety of gifts-with-purchase available - the usual travel kits, mirrors, cosmetics, and carrying cases. Two weeks ago, my friend scored a free umbrella, which was pretty nice, but I have to say that tonight's gifts were even more impressive.
We each received a set of....badmitton rackets! No birdie, just the rackets! They had the name and logo of "Missha" tastefully displayed on the cover (yes, there was a cover)and handles, but they are of decent quality. I have no idea what badmitton has to do with skin care - maybe promoting a way to get that healthy glow? My (Korean) companion and I kept straight faces until we left the store, then laughed ourselves silly.
I also got my hair trimmed today, and I have to say that the salon did a terrific job. Of course, I had a translator, which helped. The stylist was fascinated by my natural curl, incredulous that it was not a "body" (perm). I will make an appointment next week to get my highlights updated.
Have you gotten my package yet? Have you? huh huh?!?!?!
