It's 66 days before Christmas!
In the Philippines, the festivities happen as early as September. During the BER months (SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER and DecemBER), you can hear Christmas carols playing on loop inside shopping malls and even on radios.
Sale announcements are everywhere. I always want to shop early to avoid the Christmas rush. Being a bargain hunter, I score value for money goods at holiday bazaars and pop-up stores.
The Best of Dapitan Arcade | Handpicked for You
When I found out that Little Dapitan has recently opened at Ayala Malls Cloverleaf in Balintawak, Quezon City, I wasted no time to check it out. There are over 20 stalls that offers various Christmas and home decors,
bayong bags, and even furniture. If you are living in the South, you don't even have to drive to Dapitan in Manila just to find quality products at bargain prices. Little Dapitan has it all!
Shopping Tips | What to Wear
- Wear comfy clothes and shoes
- Wear a sling bag so both of your hands are free to check out the products
- Wear a smile so you can haggle to save more money ; p
- Bring your own bayong ; )
