Ready your hearts because the world of Nutella will open its doors for all the Nutella lovers out there through the Food Gift Factory at Noel Bazaar (Filinvest Tent Alabang) on Dec. 8 to 10.

You may now experience warmth and cheer as you share goodies to those who are not fortunate enough to spend the holidays with their loved ones. Sharing the love is made easy with three steps:

Step one is to visit the Nutella stall at Noel Bazaar to buy Nutella pastries and bundles.

Step two is to take your family portrait and turn it into your personalized holiday gift card.

Lastly, Step three is using the official hashtag #SpreadTheNutellaLove with your posts online to encourage more people to visit the booth.

It is so Filipino coded to not only celebrate the holiday season as early as the ber months started, but to prepare gifts as well to show love and sincerity towards other people. It is through a long list of gifts to give where you find out which gifter personality you have.

You will discover whether you should join the boat of the traditionalists, who have a strong hold for culture, or maybe the emotional gifters, who value relationships and memories. The safe players are also a quirky and fun way to identify yourself, just as much as being a bargain hunter. If you are chill enough, then you belong in the last-minute gifters.

Picking the best gift for your family is also what everyone is looking forward to during these times, which is why Nutella vows to empower the Filipino creativity for gift ideas this year.

Below are Nutella’s recommended recipes for each gifter personality. If you identify yourself as one of the listed, then go ahead and start being the Nutella Santa of your family.

The Traditional Gifter

For those who are strictly following Filipino traditions when it comes to Christmas celebrations, this is the recipe for you. Upgrade these two traditional recipes with Nutella to make it spectacular.

Nutella Puto Bumbong ingredients (three servings)
Three pieces puto bumbong
Shredded coconut
Muscovado sugar
Nutella Hazelnut Spread

Nutella Bibingka (six servings)
Six store-bought mini bibingkas
Six tablespoon Nutella Hazelnut Spread
One ripe lakatan banana
Four big ripe strawberries

The Emotional Gifter

Emotional gifters put a lot of effort to express what they feel to others. The love can manifest in their gifts in a literal way like heart-shaped items, well-thought packaging, and/or gifts that remind them of the person that they are giving it to. Needless to stay, this gift suits them well. Check the procedure here.
