So uniquely and fashionably Filipino
MANILA, Philippines - Kultura Filipino, which offers all things uniquely Filipino, ushers in the Christmas season with a pre-holiday bazaar at SM Makati. Here, one can find a wide range of homegrown gift items and décor, as well as corporate gifts and new Crafts for a Cause.
Kultura Filipino’s holiday décor includes dazzling trees, topiaries and centerpieces from Geuel; elegant capiz and mother-of-pearl table accents from Philippine Treasures; traditional lanterns from Starglaze; nativity sets and celestial angels from Alriver; and jolly Santa Clauses from Mister Santa.
For your gift list, there are stylish scarves, hand-painted piña shawls, fine pearls, and semi-precious jewelry as well as embellished bags for ladies. Made from indigenous materials, these are masterfully handcrafted into modern pieces that are great to give and great to own.
More finds for your gift list: barong Tagalog fabric and mother-of-pearl or agate cuff links for men; fine cigars and local wines for balikbayan relatives; as well as the best brews from coffee plantations from as far north as Kalinga and Ifugao, and as far south as the mountains in Mindanao.
Tealed with a kiss: Stone necklace with tassels and matching bracelet The bazaar is also a treasure trove of corporate gifts for business associates, clients and colleagues. It has embellished pens, mother-of-pearl picture frames and cardholders, kamagong office table organizers, pandan-covered notebooks and documents holders, capiz servers and resin napkin holders.
You can also give gifts of hope with Kultura Filipino’s Crafts for a Cause collection, which includes products from livelihood projects of various foundations that have adopted marginalized communities as their beneficiaries.

Not only will your gifts warm your loved ones’ hearts, they’ll also help these foundations find sustainable projects for their beneficiaries.
