It happens every year. You start December feeling organized, then suddenly realize you still haven’t figured out what to give… anyone. Family, friends, office mates, the friend who always hosts, the one who rarely shows up—it adds up quickly. And once you factor in traffic, packed malls, and delivery logistics, holiday gifting can feel more stressful than festive.

This Christmas, Carmen’s Best is offering a more convenient option with its new holiday bundles, alongside a Gift Concierge service that handles bulk orders, gift-wrapping, and delivery. With a minimum order of five bundles, the service lets you send gifts to multiple recipients across Metro Manila without coordinating everything yourself.
The lineup includes a range of options depending on what (and how much) you’re gifting. There’s the Delightful Duo (₱1,300), which keeps things simple with Dark Chocolate and Strawberry pints—easy to share and enjoy.
For those who like variety, Festive Favorites (₱1,800) combines Carmen’s Best staples, including Salted Caramel, Everyone Loves Vanilla, Malted Milk, and Strawberry Cheesecake.
If you’re gifting for gatherings, Merry Moments Medley (₱2,800) adds a Salted Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream Cake to the mix, combining dark chocolate, honeycomb bits with caramel, and a coffee ripple. Holiday Harmony (₱1,700) blends ice cream with Carmen’s Best’s newer dairy releases, pairing Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel pints with Chocolate Milk and Salted Caramel Milk. All these are made with 100% fresh milk.
There’s also Dairy Christmas Delight (₱1,300), which focuses on milk and kesong puti. Festive Feast (₱1,900), meanwhile, is a mixed bundle of milk, cheese, and ice cream cups that works well for group settings or holiday parties.
All bundles come in a limited-edition HOPE insulated bag, created in partnership with HOPE. A portion of the proceeds from bundle sales will go toward building public school classrooms in the Philippines.
More holiday bundles are expected to roll out this December, including sets featuring new limited-edition ice cream flavors.
To place an order, purchase at least five gift bundles via the Carmen’s Best Hub or get in touch with the Gift Concierge through +63 976 299 9799 or mlmortel@carmensbest.com.ph, then share the names, addresses, and contact details of each recipient. After settling payment and confirming delivery rates, the rest is taken care of.
