Weekends with Santa
Santa Claus himself is visiting Rustan’s Makati on October 24, from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM, so kids can tell him about their secret Christmas dreams and wishes themselves. In fact, he’ll be visiting all Rustan’s stores every weekend, starting on October 26 until December 22.
True Holiday Spirit
Because Christmas is ultimately a holiday meant for children, Rustan’s is helping shoppers spread good will, cheer, and love beyond family and friends by offering merchandise that customers can buy as gifts. With all Rustan’s stores participating, this initiative has Childhope Asia Philippines as its beneficiary. It starts today, October 24, and runs until December 15.
Children’s Christmas Crafts
As fun as shopping is, there’s something really special about handmade projects made by curious and creative kids. Rustan’s presents its arts and crafts weekends for children in all of its stores, to be held every Saturday from November 15 – December 14 and 15. Here, they can try creating their own popper toys out of simple materials with Santa’s Lab Snowball Surprise. At Sparkly Snowflake, they can craft snowflakes out of popsicle sticks and glue, which they can hang on the Christmas tree at home, while the Mallow Snowflake session will have them designing—then eating—their own unique snowflakes made out of marshmallows. They can also hear their favorite tales about the holiday season with Christmas Storytelling.
