Small touches, big Christmas cheer with Anko’s latest home collection

A festive home does not have to come together in a single day. Sometimes, it starts with a new ornament, a playful decoration on a shelf, or a table setting that makes an ordinary family meal feel like a holiday occasion. Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko embraces this simple approach with its new Christmas collection, featuring over 200 pieces designed to make seasonal decorating easy to personalize.

Launched at Pinkhouse in Taguig City, the collection is now available at Anko stores in Glorietta 2, Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Gateway Mall.

With pieces made to mix, match, and layer, the collection gives families the flexibility to refresh their homes at their own pace. Christmas tree ornaments, tabletop decorations, and gift-wrapping essentials offer different ways to bring festive color and character into a space, whether through a full holiday display or a few carefully chosen accents.

The Mini Pink and Green Christmas Trees (₱290) bring a playful take to Christmas decorating, while Striped Bows (₱300), Christmas Bells (₱100), and Christmas Mouse Plushies (₱150) can add festive details to different corners of the home.

For a more whimsical display, the Gingerbread Candle (₱400), Light Up Ceramic Gingerbread Houses (₱580), Mini Standing Reindeers (₱450), and Mini Snow Globes in Santa, Gingerbread, and cozy home designs (₱150) offer charming options for shelves, side tables, and existing decorative arrangements.

“Christmas doesn’t have to mean transforming your 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,” said Kim Mulligan, Interim Country Manager of Anko Philippines.

The same philosophy can guide holiday entertaining. Decorative Bauble Trees (₱550), Tabletop Bells (₱720), and Green Pleated Edge Placemats (₱220) help give dining spaces a seasonal lift, while Santa or Bow Mugs (₱300) bring a festive touch to warm drinks shared with family and guests.

More importantly, decorating can become an activity everyone enjoys. While one person arranges the table, another can put the finishing touches on the tree, with children helping choose where the smaller characters belong.

“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,” said Lou Rulloda, Merchandising Manager of Anko Philippines, who led the house walkthrough.

“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,” she added.

The collection also covers the details that make gift-giving feel special. Bow Stockings (₱350), Plush Santa Hats (₱100), Stripe Gift Bags (₱80), and Santa Gift Wrapping Paper (₱120) help carry the Christmas look from the living room to the presents waiting to be shared.

For a more timeless approach, Anko offers home accessories that work beyond the holiday season. The Pesto Round Cushion (₱400), Retreat Vetiver Candle (₱790), Pink Port Twist Glass Vase (₱550), and Sunburst Placemats (₱150) bring warmth and versatility to everyday spaces, making it easier to pair Christmas décor with existing home essentials.

“Christmas at home is all about mixing the old with the new, and Anko is where families can find everything for the season in one place, from festive tree ornaments and tabletop pieces to everyday finds. Because so many of our products stay relevant year-round, every piece is a practical choice that keeps giving long after Christmas,” added Mulligan.

Anko is also helping shoppers make gifting more personal through its Christmas Personality Quiz on the Anko Club app at anko.com/anko-club. Participants can find out if they are the host, the joy-giver, or the trendsetter and receive tailored Anko picks for everyone on their list.
