SHOPPING ALERT: This one-day pop up bazaar happens tomorrow!

MANILA, Philippines – With Christmas coming in a few months, everyone is starting to draw up a list of things to give away to friends and family. Start the shopping early and stop the cramming! Better still, shop for a cause and extend your generosity to a worthwhile charity.

Philantrophist, and all-around style purveyor, Tessa Prieto Valdes is holding her first ever Christmas bazaar. The charity-shopping event, First Dibs Pop Up, is being coordinated by Assumption High School Batch ’81. Carefully curated, the shopping event includes Tessa’s favorite things which are perfect for the holiday gifting season.

Fashion Finds 

Boho chic fashion has become an easy choice for a more laid back and fun look. Look out for Flamingo Bros’ wonderful pieces that are perfect to mix and match. Another option is the nice printed dresses by Mich Araullo. For the bagaholics, you can find contemporary Italian leather bags and accessories at Three Perspective.

Wellness for Homes 

More than just fashion, pieces for the home and family will also be featured at the pop up. Adding a touch of nature to your private space, Arcadia’s colorful selection of planter boxes and Celosia’s artisanal metal furniture can beautify your home.  As for food, sample the yummy banana pudding of Bananarama or the delish selection of Milky Way food products.

Particular Presents 

Make an effort to give one of a kind items this season. The simple yet stylish leather goods from Saco fit ladies of all ages. For some relaxation, choose from the essential oils of So True Naturals. Better yet, have the name of your friends or family on personalized accessories and trinkets at Nueve.

A percentage of the bazaar’s sales will go to the charity supported by Assumption High School Batch ’81 Foundation, specifically the children’s libraries in Yolanda-stricken Samar. From fashion, home, to even food, take your pick from the generous selection. – Rappler.com
