(SPOT.ph) It’s officially summer in Manila and...well, we're all still advised to stay put at home. With ECQ: The Sequel under way, whatever out-of-town-getaways and outdoor adventures you had planned for the sunny season will mostly have to be canceled or at least postponed for the time being. We know 2021 is looking bleak so far, so if you’re looking for small ways to brighten up your days, we’ve listed down the best shopping finds to add to your cart this April. Whatever happens this summer, at least you’ll have something to look forward to each time you’re waiting for your next package. This month, we spotted a cool mini fridge, a chic office chair, the comfiest leggings you’ll ever wear, and more. Happy shopping, Spotters!
These are the best shopping finds to add to your cart this April:
Formotion Sculpt Tights (P4,000) from Adidas
We say this with no exaggeration: Adidas’ new Formotion collection is one the most size-inclusive, form-flattering lines of activewear around. With sizes ranging from extra-small to extra-large, the line include sports bras, bodysuits, biker shorts, and more that offer maximum stretch, support, and compression to let you move freely no matter the workout while also molding to your body’s shape, keeping your love handles at bay, and making your curves look snatched. The entire Formotion line was designed by an all-female team, so it’s no surprise that each piece is truly tailored for women of all shapes and sizes. If you’re going to pick just one item from the collection, we recommend these high-waisted tights, which could quickly become your go-to for all physical activities.
Available online; see a list of Adidas stores.
Cotton Canvas Slip-Ons (P1,490) from Uniqlo
In 2020, Uniqlo released a stylish and wearable pair of lace-up sneakers in low-cut and high-cut styles. While the lace-ups fit right into the brand's versatile, no-nonsense style philosophy, they recently unveiled another pair that's even more minimalist and free of frills: the Cotton Canvas Slip-Ons could quickly become your new go-to sneakers! In true Uniqlo fashion, the Japanese brand's take on the lace-free, slip-on sneakers is sleek and understated with no bulk or embellishments. You can cop the pair in two colors: Off White and Navy. You can get them for just P1,490 each!

The fridge has three layers inside, which gives you lots of space for all your sweet treats and ice-cold beverages.

Collapsible Bowls (P1,450) from Stojo
You know you’re an adult if you get excited about #aesthetic storage food containers like these collapsible bowls from Stojo. The New York-based brand is best known for their collapsible tumblers—you may have seen their recent collaboration with Starbucks—and their food containers offer the same monochromatic design and functionalist philosophy. Each bowl can hold up to 36 ounces of food, which is about four and a half cups—more than enough for that big lunch you're packing for work or the leftover dinner you're storing away for tomorrow. Best of all, the bowls are collapsible, which means when you're done using one—whether at home or out of the house—you can fold it down into a more compact size for easy storage in your bag or kitchen.

The Pahin(g)a Planner (P880) from Looking for Juan
The Pahin(g)a planner from Looking for Juan is all about finding a balance between rest and productivity.

This planner features a minimalist cover available in nine soothing colors. Inside, you'll find dotted pages with lots of writing space, giving you enough room for all your tasks, notes, reminders, and doodles.
The journal was made in collaboration with psychologist Meg Yarcia and artist Ivan Reverente and it’s filled with sections that center on "making rest a part of everyday life," notes Looking for Juan’s website. You’ll find thoughtful musings, ideas for slowing down, sections for writing about your feelings, and even simple activities to keep you at ease throughout the day scattered across the planner's pages, each coupled with delicate designs and beautiful illustrations to help calm the anxious, overworked mind.

Wingate Rattan Swivel Desk Chair (P32,500) from Pottery Barn
Who says a home office needs to look cold and corporate? Pottery Barn's Wingate Rattan Swivel Desk Chair would give WFH setup a rustic, Bohemian-style touch to your work space, so you don’t feel like you’re stuck in an uninspiring lifeless room. Structurally, this chair is no different from most run-of-the-mill office chairs; it sports a backrest, armrests, a swiveling seat, adjustable height, and wheels underneath. But it replaces to usual leather, mesh, or even plastic you would see in most office chairs with a textured, woven seat frame and wooden legs. Metal fixtures are limited to the adjustable pole and wheels, making the chair look as warm and welcoming as possible. To top it all off, it features a cream-colored, canvas-lined cushion to keep your bottom comfy all day long.
