And now, we’re giving you a chance to take home something from “Ligaw,” aside fromkiligand happy feelings! Prizes in store:

Metallurgy “Puzzle Love” necklace. Photo by Tricia Gosingtian. Made of hypoallergenic surgical steel (won’t irritate acidic skin, won’t rust or get scratched easily). We didn’t get to show this in the final cut of the video anymore, but these are what’s inside the boxes in the ending.

Love-a-lot couple outfits. Photo by Richard Romero. While other shops carry his-and-hers couple shirts, only Me&U offers couple outfits that are actually stylish enough to be worn individually, like this shirt and dress.

Love-a-lot “Love’s Coming” iPhone cases. This is a new collection in the Me&U stores, and the winning couple will be one of the first ones to have it! Here’s how to join:

Finally, exactly one year since we blogged this photo of the “Puzzle” couple necklaces from Me&U Metallurgy (photographed by Tricia Gosingtian), we have decided to consider the requests of Love Chic readers to put up our own online shop and make the items we wear on the blog available for purchase. Aside from the anniversary coincidence, we think it’s kinda awesome that the blog entry got exactly 143 notes as of this posting. We take it as a good sign, yes?
   
The shop is actually nothing fancy, just a “Shop Love Chic” album within our Facebook page. We start off with a few select pieces, our personal favorites.

“Puzzle” couple necklaces. What we’re wearing in this blog entry.

“Together” couple necklaces. What we’re wearing in this blog entry.

“Duet couple necklaces.” The Cobalt (left) is for guys and the Gold (right) is for the girls. These look very similar to our beautiful couple rings, which we wear every day! See them here.

“Forever Puzzle” couple necklaces. The fancier version of the “Puzzle.”

These are made from surgical steel. It is hypoallergenic, which means people with sensitive or acidic skin won’t need to worry about wearing them. They don’t tarnish or fade, and are extremely scratch-resistant. Just imagine a literal doctor’s surgical tools. Yup. We wouldn’t sell stuff we can’t vouch for, and this one we definitely can. Our necklaces look as new as when we got them!

Homemade goodness: warm egg sandwiches and brewed coffee in Me&U Human Touch couple mugs, perfect for this lazy rainy-sunny afternoon.

The lamp behind us is called “Oh sh*t!” also in Me&U. Cute doogie, and you switch it on and off by stepping on his poo. Hahaha!

The popular Mr. P in colorful grinning trash bins to dump your troubles away.
