Buds had its first hospital visit this year today, bringing along both Buds Cherished Organics and Buds Organics. It was great to meet fathers, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles who were keen to learn more about the products at Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

The Buds team wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Bemused by the invite, our guests brought along the Buds’ empty gift box to Marmalade, Mont Kiara, to check out the fuss.  They were not disappointed.

The launch was emceed by Low Ngai Yuen, a TV programme host and director, former radio show producer and DJ, actress and most significantly, a mother.  We were treated to a story following the day of a Buds baby, after which the story of the Buds range began – how it started as a pure and natural product and continuously pushed the boundaries to see what it could achieve.  The result?  Our newest baby – Buds Cherished Organics, the world’s first and largest preservative-free and certified organic range of baby and mom care products!

Being the launch of a baby care range, kids were very much included in this event and at times, cheekily stole the show from the adults!  Fun was definitely the order of the day – with magic tricks, making balloon shapes, colouring….  Some adults were seen reliving their childhood days and joined in with the children in making animals and shapes out of balloons!

Stay tuned for official photos from the show.  In the meantime, enjoy some of the snaps below!

Buds Cherished Organics is going to be launched officially tomorrow!  Buds will be in the spotlight tomorrow afternoon in an exciting tea party to showcase the world’s first premium preservative-free and certified organic range of baby and mum’s skincare products!  Visit us later in the week to check out photos from the party!!!!
