With joy and excitement for the yuletide season continues to fill the air.
Recently, Australian Home and Lifestyle brand Anko officially introduced its latest Christmas season. For this year, the company features over 200 pieces that have been designed to bring color, character, and Christmas cheer into the home.
The new Christmas collection was launched at Pinkhouse, Taguig City, with items now available at Anko stores in Glorietta 2, Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Gateway Mall 1.
The new collection takes a playful approach to Christmas decorating, with pieces that can be mixed, matched, and layered throughout the home.
From Christmas tree ornaments to tabletop decorations and gift-wrapping essentials, there are plenty of ways to build a festive look without having to transform the entire house in one go.
Alongside traditional ornaments, Anko’s collection brings in classic decor and playful characters that add personality to the centerpiece, such as the Mini Pink and Green Christmas Trees, Striped Bows, Christmas Bells, and Christmas Mouse Plushies.
These can be placed around the home, creating smaller pockets of Christmas beyond the living room.
For those who like their Christmas decor with a bit of whimsy, the Gingerbread Candle, Light Up Ceramic Gingerbread Houses, Mini Standing Reindeers, and Mini Snow Globes in Santa, Gingerbread, and cozy home designs add extra charm.
The collection also extends into the practical parts of the season. Bow Stockings, Plush Santa Hats, Stripe Gift Bags, and Santa Gift Wrapping Paper, which bring the festive look into the tradition of giving.
For Noche Buena and other holiday gatherings, tabletop decorations can also add another layer to the celebration, such as Decorative Bauble Trees, Tabletop Bells, and Green Pleated Edge Placemats that can be mixed into a table setting, while the Santa or Bow Mugs complete the festive spread.
Kim Mulligan, Interim Country Manager of Anko Philippines, noted that Christmas does not have to mean transforming one’s home all at once.
“With Anko’s Christmas collection, families can build their festive space little by little, adding touches that bring the season to life at a pace and price that works for them,” she also said.
Christmas is all about mixing the old with the new, the brand’s interim country chief furthered.
For her part, Lou Rulloda, Merchandising Manager of Anko Philippines, said: “We wanted the collection to give families plenty of room to have fun with their Christmas styling. Whether you’re decorating the tree, setting the table for Noche Buena, or adding small festive touches around the home, there are pieces you can mix, match, and make your own.”
Rulloda furthered, “Playful characters, stripes, and bows are the trends we’re leaning into this season, and my personal favorites are the Gingerbread Candle and the Christmas Mouse Plushies. They bring so much personality without taking over the space, and they sit easily alongside the decor you already have.”
Anko also has “everyday decor” finds that can be user well beyond the holidays. The Pesto Round Cushion, Retreat Vetiver Candle, Pink Port Twist Glass Vase, and Sunburst Placemats that can fit the home any time of year.
Meanwhile, through the Anko Club app, the Christmas Personality Quiz is also available and invites shoppers to discover what kind of gifter they are, whether the host, the joy-giver, or the trendsetter, and pairs them with tailored Anko picks for everyone on their list.
Anko was established in 2017 and is part of the Kmart Group, which includes Kmart Australia, Target Australia, and Anko Global, and is owned by Wesfarmers Ltd, one of the leading ASX-listed companies in Australia.
It was launched in the Philippines in November 2024 and offers on-trend product designs across categories such as homewares, bedding, toys, beauty, travel, and more.
