Vogue Philippines’ discerning edit for the holiday season brings together the best local finds, luxurious experiences, and leveled up splurges for your consideration. Next on your list: someone who actually loves Christmas.
For some of us, Halloween is the last holiday of the year. For others, Christmas is the time to fully embrace everything. Spirits are high, and most likely their excitement is too. Whether this is that friend who assigned theirself gamemaster for your 12-hour Christmas party sportsfest, or a young family celebrating their first Christmas, give ’em a break. Let them order the mobile bar [Proudly Promdi’s dedication to bringing local cocktail craftsmanship to occasions and moments is unparalleled], let them throw in an extra few klooks to get the kids to dance, let them demand that everyone wear silvers and golds. Let them. Let them.
With this gift guide, we will indeed. Vogue Philippines names the best in all that glitters for the season, whether as a gift or if you need your own bit of holiday cheer.
