Valentine’s Day is a big deal in Manila and this year is quite hectic because it falls on a weekend. Most of the hot restaurants in Manila would be fully booked and it’s getting harder to order roses, chocolates, and Valentine’s gifts.
We usually plan on the last minute. Here are some suggestions that still has availability to help the lovers out there:
1). Where to buy flowers?
My sister-in-law Tet is a boutique flower entrepreneur and she sells Ecuador Roses for this Valentines Season.
1 dozen Ecuador roses sells for P5,500 and half-dozen sells for P3,000 with free delivery in Metro Manila. Local roses and mixed bouquets are also available. Check out the available options.
