Nutella is launching a Food Gift Factory in Noel Bazaar (Filinvest Tent Alabang) from December 8-10 to offer holiday activities for Nutella lovers. The factory will sell Nutella pastries and bundles, turn family portraits into personalized holiday gift cards, and encourage more people to visit the booth by using the hashtag #SpreadTheNutellaLove. The event aims to provide warmth and cheer for those unable to spend the holidays with their loved ones. The initiative aims to provide a warm and festive atmosphere for the holiday season.
Filipinos celebrate the holiday season early and prepare gifts to show love and sincerity. A list of gifts can help identify gifter personalities, such as traditionalists who value culture, emotional gifters who value relationships and memories, Safe Players who are quirky and fun, and Last-Minute Gifters who are chill. Nutella aims to empower Filipino creativity for gift ideas this year, offering recipes for each gifter personality. If you identify as a gifter, consider becoming the Nutella Santa of your family and start giving the best gifts for your family.
