It’s almost that time of the year again, when we all prepare and look for new ideas as to what we should give our family, friends, and loved ones this Christmas season. I myself am into a lot of online shopping these days, but nothing still beats the joy of buying from a physical store, seeing the item first hand, and haggling down the prices with the local seller. With the emergence of artisans and local pop up stores, it’s a good thing to promote these shops and buy local.
Metro Manila is renowned for its lively and busy bazaars throughout the Christmas season where you may purchase a variety of goods including presents, crafts, apparel, accessories, home decor, and delectable food. These bazaars are often held around the city, including in retail centers, convention centers, parks, and outdoor settings.
We’ve made a list of the different bazaars for 2023 to give you an idea where to shop and find new gift ideas for your holiday gift-giving.
