Magical Christmas gift shows

-

The season of gift giving is just around the corner! That’s why Healthy Options, Wine Story, Bow & Wow and Planet Grapes mounted Christmas gift shows at the E’s Bar Tent of EDSA Shangri-La Manila and the Isabela Ballroom of Makati Shangri-La, Manila. The event venues were both transforme­d into a magical village complete with holiday trimmings.

The gift shows focused on premium all-natural gifts from healthy stuff, pet products to fine wines. Seen at the gift shows were Marc Nelson, Sabrina Artadi, Bianca King and Rhian Ramos.

This year, Healthy Options decided to impart the magical quality of Christmas as seen through the eyes of children. The one- of- a-kind holiday gift boxes and bags feature the Christmas illustrati­ons of some of the kids from Kythe Foundation.

The Healthy Options’ display area was colorfully decorated with well-loved Christmas characters. “Frosty’s Cool Christmas Box” is laden with light and sumptuous snacks that can best be enjoyed during the cold holiday weather. “Rudolph’s Childhood Favorite” includes fun and classic favorites such as yummy gummy bears, fortune cookies, fruit juices, chocolate bars, and other treats. “Santa’s Snack Selection Christmas Box” can be filled with items ordered a la carte, or pre-packed box with nourishing fiber-packed cereals, natural juices, almond butter, chocolate bars and more.

The “Sugar Plum Fairy Christmas Box” is the ultimate pampering gift that includes massage oil, hair care sets, natural soaps, night cream and other skin care. The “Angel’s Heavenly Feast Christmas Box” is perfect for the sumptuous Noche Buena feast, given quality items like gluten-free and wheat-free pretzels, goji berries, organic pasta, extra virgin olive oil, organic quinoa, and many more.

It also offers a premium holiday gift box fit for royalty — the “Three Kings’ Treasure Box.” A great alternativ­e present is the Christmas Magic gift card available in P500 and P1,000 denominati­ons.

The company also recommends sparkling juices and organic wines like Nuevo Mundo Reserva, Nuevo Mundo Estate and Organic Vintners Rosso. My mother and sister loved these that they bought several bottles.

Bow & Wow offers all-natural product finds for pet lovers. The Christmas gift show brought attention to how pet owners may have made their pets happy. I bought my French Bulldog Pierre tons of stuff even before the Christmas holidays!

Likewise, Wine Story’s gift display area looked resplenden­t in gold and silver. Wine Story handpicked four wine sets: “Sparkling and White wines,” “Alsatian wines,” “The Best of Bordeaux” and “New World Napa Valley wines.” On the other hand, awesome “planetary” wine sets from Planet Grapes at reasonable prices got visitors attention as well.

So if you’re on the prowl for unique, functional and impressive yuletide presents, check out Healthy Options, Bow & Wow, Wine Story and Planet Grapes to see the well thought- out holiday gift sets they have laid out and let family, friends and workmates experience a truly magical Christmas.
