When in Manila and “Ber” months strike, you’ll find yourself surrounded by Christmas music and tons of bazaars, sales, and night markets sprouting everywhere. I recently discovered a new bazaar in the posh Dusit Thani Manila hotel and had some super advance holiday shopping. I mean, better shop now than brave the holiday traffic, right?
Organized by Karl Edward International, a veteran in bazaar industry, “Passionfly” addresses the discriminating taste of today’s shoppers and buyers by curating the best from online shopping industry. It will showcase remarkable products made by start-up companies, creative leaders and entrepreneurs all across Manila. Here are some unique finds I stumbled on that are great gift ideas!
