Six Christmas Villages at Circuit Makati Bazaar

Christmas is around the corner and some advance shopping has been done by some people I know, but for those who want to do their Christmas shopping in bazaars with a legit Christmas feels (you know, Christmas decors and music in the background) then you better not miss the upcoming Circuit Makati Bazaar happening from November 18 - 20! I was present during their media launch and I'm happy to share with you what to expect during the three-day bazaar!

This exciting outdoor bazaar is inspired by Christmas markets from around the globe and will feature six Christmas villages bursing with over 500 merchants offering the best holiday finds for you and your family like gift items, clothes, accessories, knick knacks, electronics, toys, and food. While doing your Christmas shopping, there will be activities for you and your family to enjoy, lined up by Ayala Land such as Santa's Corner, where kids can tell a real-life Santa Claus their Christmas wish and have their photos taken with him and Mrs. Claus.

Christmas Villages

I like the concept of having different sections in a bazaar so that an OC shopper would know which area to go to for a particular item in mind. Hence, I am happy to share with you that Circuit Makati Bazaar is going to make your shopping experience pleasant and orderly. We know how sometimes shoppers (including me) could go gaga and hop non-stop from one shop to another and then get lost right? The Christmas villages will make shopping easier and stress-free!

My two favorite Christmas villages are: Fit & Fab by Hunt & Gather, and Mommy's Best by Project Mom, because they reflect my persona as a mom and one who to who I am as a person and also answer to what my needs are. The other villages which cater to different awesome needs and offer quality and unique holiday finds are: Star Avenue, Lil' Preneur by HedCen. Karl Edwards and Kaizen Events, and Mercato Centrale.

Fit & Fab by Hunt & Gather is a village where you'll find organic, sports, wellness, and lifestyle items. All items and merchants in this village are carefully selected and offer locally-sourced products. If you're in for paleo, keto, vegan, natural, organic, nutrition and fitness products and services, then this village will be close to your heart!

Mommy's Best by Project Mom is a village dedicated to mommy, babies, and kids, home, and make it the whole family. Headead by Amanda Griffin and Bianca Araneta-Elizalde, this village houses some of the most sought-after products and services for the family which are all mom-approved. Most of the brands available are those that I love, actually use, and also those which are in my Christmas wishlist too! I think I could stay here all day!

If you get star struck with celebrities, especially those who are admirably working hard with their businesses, then go to the Star Avenue village and see celebrities do their thing! Encounter celebrities lioke Shaina Magdayao, Miriam Quiambao, Gretchen Fullido, Christine Babao, LJ Moreno-Alapag, Nikki Valdez, and Maria Isabel Lopez with daughter Mara Lopez, AND don't forget of course to purchase their products or pre-loved items.

Lil'Preneur by HedCen will display a wide array of goodies for students from grade school to high school. There will also be storytelling and musical performances too.

For the young and hip, the fashionable and techie shoppers, Millennials Spot featuring Karl Edwards and Kaizen Events, Inc. is the village for you. Find gadgets, fashion items, trinkets, and everything in between perfect for gifting yourselves, family, friends, and colleagues!

Lastly, after all the energized shopping's done, I'm sure the next best thing you'll look for is FOOD! Mercato Centrale will be occupying one village to cater to your gastronomic needs and wants. You'll find home-cooked meals, delicious desserts, drinks, and all the goodness gracious food that may satisfy your hungry tummies made by Metro Manila's food entrepreneurs.

Excited? I am too! Mark your calendars and make sure you take advantage of Circuit Makati's hippest and biggest Christmas Bazaar ever!
