Merry holiday happenings

As we are getting used to missing the events, galas (especially the Red Charity Gala), and even just a nice birthday celebration with all our friends, we’re also getting accustomed to hosting parties online.

As we prepare our Zoom noche buena and media noche in the next couple of days, we don’t have to miss the feel of real parties and events. Besides the home-prepared feast, it is as important to have a nice and ornate table setting and a cozy dimmed-lit room.

Mav furniture just launched MAV DETAILS, a collaborative space where you can find finely crafted, meticulously curated home accents, accessories and conversation pieces. As this year is coming to an end, MAV DETAILS is giving us a definitely-not-to-miss deal—50 percent off on all items from Dec. 17 to 27, exclusively at its Rockwell Pop Up showroom.

No doubt, 2020 started with a big bang, but MAV DETAILS is closing it with a bigger (but good) bang.

MAV DETAILS pop up showroom is located at the ground floor of the Power Plant Mall in Rockwell Center. For details, call 0917-628-3725.
