What makes any occasion special is the food we serve on our tables. We always make sure it’s something everyone would enjoy and that would bring the get-together to a whole new level. We’re down to the last few weeks before Christmas and as much as we want to have the best food to ourselves, we also want to give them out as presents for obvious reasons: It’s saying everything you want to say in the sweetest way possible.
Nono’s
Nono’s holiday premium gift box consists of chocolate crunch bites, chocolate peanut brittle, almond crunch shortbread cookies, pinwheel cookies, almond crunch, and a sugar cookie. Gift packs are available in all outlets. For bulk orders of 30 packs and up, make sure to order seven days in advance. The store will confirm your order, send instructions and options for payment, update you on its status, and advise you once ready for pick-up.
Hong Kong MX
Known for its fine mooncake selection, Hong Kong MX also offers Christmas gift sets that include eggrolls and cookies that you might also want to consider as gifts this holiday season. All Hong Kong MX pastries are available at SM Mall of Asia, Lucky Chinatown, and Eastwood City. Or, you can also order online from Lazada, GrabFood, and GoEat PH.
Healthy Options
For your family and friends who are looking to start or maintain a healthy diet, Healthy Options naturally has grocery gift sets that are all-natural and organic. Choose from three boxes: gluten-free, organic, and heart smart.
Goods by Mafalda
If the taste of an Italian summer romance is your friend’s thing, then call up Goods by Mafalda and grab these peachy baskets. The ‘Elio’ contains Japanese milk bread loaf, four matcha milk rolls, and toasted cashew butter with spreading spoon (P700) while the ‘Oliver,’ holds Japanese milk bread loaf, 10 matcha milk rolls, 12 whole wheat chocolate chunk cookies, and toasted cashew butter with spreading spoon (P1,500). No peaches though unfortunately.
Manila Cookie Story
To make the holidays feel a little bit more like home, the Manila Cookie Story brings desserts made with the country’s signature ingredients such as kapeng barako, queso de bola, and South Cotabato chocolate. Its packaging comes in three selections: the Jeepney Collection, Festival Collection, and Weaving Collection.
Chrisha’s Kitchen
Here are keto-friendly cakes for anyone who’s watching what they’re eating. Chrisha’s Kitchen makes sugar-free and low-carb cakes that come in the forms of burnt Basque cheesecakes, Bordeaux chocolate fudge, and strawberry shortcake.
Tilde Cafe
Tilde Cafe offers a wide variety of desserts from pies to cakes that you can give to your family and friends. Trust us when we say that a bite of the French apple pie, pistachio sans rival, or carrot cake cheesecake will guarantee any recipient to think what great taste you have.
35cl Cocktail Co.
While technically not food, 35cl Cocktail Co.’s limited-edition bottled cocktails (P950) deserve a spot on this list. If you know someone who has refined tastes, then this holiday-inspired collection by founder Niko Tiutan will do the trick. Featuring varying ABVs and seasonal flavors such as Chocolate (infused with notes of almonds and cacao nibs), Eggnog (with notes of nutmeg and ginger), and Hibiscus (hints of tea and basil liqueur), these cocktails will bring anyone to their happy place. Here’s a hack: Serve the Eggnog with an ounce of milk and garnish with cinnamon. You’re welcome.
