Venue: Whitespace Manila, Pasong Tamo ext., Makati City
Of all the Christmas fairs happening this week, here’s one you shouldn’t miss. Apart from local food, fashion, and home brands, The Spectrum Holiday Fair will also have live music playing as you shop.

It’s also a great place to find gifts for special people in your life like family friends because unlike other bazaars, this one is filled with designer and artisanal products. Brands in previous Spectrum bazaars included Aranaz Tu, Pottly ‘n Tubby, and Aly’s Cookie Bar.

If you still couldn’t find what you’re looking for, try yet another Christmas bazaar
