It looks like HOME CREDIT is bringing out the big guns this holiday season!

Yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year and shopping for loved ones, family, friends also start at the same instance. Those wish lists come out of nowhere and you've probably got to make them all come true. HOME CREDIT just made it easier to decide on those high ticket items as they introduce "The Great 0% Interest Festival". It's where over 50 thousand products will be offered at only 0% interest at almost 10,000 stores nationwide.

HOME CREDIT's Chief Marketing Officer Sheila Paul says "It's always been a holiday tradition for Filipinos to have the joy of giving. It is what makes things extra special especially during the holidays. Home Credit is making it more affordable and accessible for a lot of people, and at 0% interest rate, you can fit it in your budget this season."

This means those furniture, home appliances, phone upgrades, are all within reach. If you wish to have it as a gift, you can do that too. You don't even have to have a credit card to get them these days and Home Credit does that. They have been doing this since April 2022 so there's really no reason why you wouldn't get those lovely things you wish for this Christmas.

By the way, Home Credit knows you want inspiration, so during the holidays, you're going to see videos on Home Credit's social channels and with the one and only Moira dela Torre. She's Home Credit's newest brand ambassador and surely, would make you feel so special with her songs during the season. Remember, it's only going to be until January 31st.

IKEA Philippines Officially Opens Online Store

We all thought it was going to be too long before IKEA opens in the Philippines, but here they go over delivering with their promise to bring scandi items into the homes of Filipinos today. See, they official online store of IKEA is now open.

Georg Platzer, Store Manager of IKEA Pasay City says "We have just concluded limited test runs the past few weeks, and today, we're glad to say they we will be officially accessible to more pinoys. We will be part of the lives of a lot of folks in the Philippines who's dream would be a better life at home. We're officially opening our online store today!"

IKEA also learned a lot from the shopping habits of Filipinos as the test run showed the need for more home storage and work space items. They also have sold lots of home decors like alarm clocks, wall clocks and artificial potted plants. Aside from that, there's children's items like the soft toys, storage boxes and the play kitchen sold quite regularly. If you would want to purchase some of these items, you have to make an IKEA website account (different from the IKEA Family Account membership) which I too have registered with previously. They accept payments via major credit cards, GCash and installment with BDO.

IKEA also ships fast, as I've seen some of my friends got their products the day after. It can by delivered via truck, parcel and click and collect (where you're just gonna pick it up in the store after ordering online). If it's 30KG and up, that's going to be considered a truck delivery so make sure you're guided before you choose and checkout. Truck deliveries right now only are in Metro Manila, parcels can reach up to other parts til Quezon down south (Lucena) and Subic up north.

Best of all, the store is operating 24/7 so you can get the best IKEA products while everyone is sleeping. You may see the whole line at IKEA.ph.

You've Got to See the IKEA Festival

In the coming weeks, you'll see a lot of IKEA popup displays as part of IKEA Festival. They're all raring to go open later but before that, they're making you see some of the pieces that they have inside the store displayed in a mock home, wherein you can sit on the chair, touch the table, go through the kitchen, play with children in these spaces. They'll be rolling out more in the next few months so you've got to see them all!

Ms. Aileen Prodigalidad of IKEA says "If you don't know how to cook, you can learn a lot about things here. Gamers also will have so much fun with the IKEA Gaming Range. The IKEA Festival will be opening the store for us, this will be through the IKEA Museum. You will travel back in time and see how the pieces came together."

The POP UP Store in Mall of Asia currently isn't selling the pieces, it's more of an inspiration so when you see the IKEA store open soon, you already have an idea what to get. It's like a real home, so you see everything in place, even the small knickknacks on the cupboard if you are looking for kitchen stuff.

If you want to join the IKEA FESTIVAL, just head on to the official website for the event ikea.com/festival and just click on start watching, there are different rooms in the festival. If you want cooking, design, gaming, there are specific rooms for you. They also have topics for sustainability which you can learn more about in the site.

Can't wait for the store opening, but for the meantime, this will do!
