Giving gifts shouldn’t feel rushed.
It should feel intentional.
For this project, we wanted to create something simple but meaningful — a gift box made entirely with local brands, handmade pieces, and stories behind every item.
Welcome to our first curated box:
#LocalGiftBox by baybayen PH.
A gift you can give to someone you love — while also supporting Filipino makers.
Let’s start building.
1. A beautifully made local gift box
Your gift deserves a proper home.
We chose local brands that specialize in creative and thoughtfully designed packaging. Click the title to be open their page in new tab:
pangbalot.ph
Pangbalot PH is your one-stop shop for locally sourced, eco-friendly packaging—made for brands and makers who love to curate with intention. By choosing Pangbalot PH, you support Filipino artisans and create gifts that care for both community and the planet. Price range: P100 - P700
Papemelroti
Papemelroti is a local brand known for simple, handmade paper and wooden gift items that feel personal and intentional. Their pieces celebrate everyday Filipino moments—pang-regalo, pang-sulat, pang-alaala—using thoughtful design and eco-friendly materials. Price range: P69 - P200
They prove that even the box itself can already be part of the gift experience.
Not just something you throw away — but something you’d actually want to keep.
For gifts meant to be kept—not just opened.
This category highlights handmade and thoughtfully crafted pieces that stay with you longer, support local makers, and turn simple moments into lasting memories.

From makers, to givers, to the people who receive them —
this is our little way of starting something meaningful.
