What’s better than getting a Christmas gift? Getting a food basket that’s brimming with everything from Noche Buena staples to freshly baked goods and gourmet products.
It’s the most practical and easiest way to put together a gift because everyone loves food, right? With 24 days remaining until Christmas, it’s time we start putting together our list and buying stuff for family and loved ones.
The longest-running holiday bazaar, Noel Bazaar—which is now online ICYMI—is making Christmas shopping a breeze, including picking out edible presents.
Now on its soft launch, Noel Bazaar’s website is currently divided into two sections: a dedicated food tab called Eats, and Shop for clothes, home and recreational needs.
Sort by budget, by need, by ETA
It may be the most generous season year-round, but it still pays to watch the bottomline. Both Noel Bazaar Eats and Shop sections have sorting options to make gift selection easier by determining price range, gift categories and even estimated delivery time.
Special holiday promos
Who doesn’t love a good deal especially on the biggest shopping season of the year? Noel Bazaar has items on sale under both food and non-food categories on its website. And yes, you can configure the listings to show items on sale.
From Nov. 30 until Dec. 30, you can also get P100 off at checkout with a minimum purchase of P500. Just use the code HOLIYAY100.
Give grocery basket gifts a rest this year
We’ll be the last one to discredit the value AND convenience of a curated grocery basket, but without fail, your kumares and kumpares will surely be gifted those by their employers and other generous friends.
Instead, why not consider these gourmet gift boxes and those that contain homemade goods by home-based businesses? They’re thoughtful, well-made, and guaranteed fresh.
Here are some suggestions:
Perfect for aperitif: The Fruit Garden Treasure Coffret 3 – P1,750.09
For the coffee connoisseur: Brewing Maiden Coffee and Tea’s Coffee Medley Box (Ground Coffee Set) – P309.23
For a little (natural) sweetness: Todoparati Commodities’s Forest Honey Duo – P631.30
If all else fails, you can always buy different products in bulk and ration them in different gift boxes if you feel like curating personalized sets this year. There are plenty of bottled homemade spices, spreads and condiments under the Gourmet Food Products category that will fit in.
Noel Bazaar accepts payments through credit cards, GCash and GrabPay. Black Arrow and Lalamove are its courier partners for Metro Manila deliveries.
