A gift of love from Miladay

Tradition is Miladay. And to further keep the tradition alive on its 40th anniversary this year, Miladay recently launched ‘A Gift of Love,’ a precious little gift card, at its branch in The Podium in Ortigas Center.

"Because it is our Mom’s dream for every Filipino to own a piece of Miladay no matter how small, we thought of introducing our newest product, ‘A Gift of Love from Miladay’," explained Michelle Dayrit Soliven, president of Miladay.

"Oftentimes," Michelle said, "husbands want to give their wives jewelry but they have no idea what kind of jewelry their wives will like. To solve that problem, we came up with ‘A Gift of Love’. All the men have to do is to surprise their sweethearts with this precious little gift card."

The good news is, the gift card can be loaded with an amount that starts from P3,000 up. "For big things or small things, regardless of the amount, always remember that there is a gift of love for your loved ones," Michelle said, adding that the gift card is also perfect for occasions like Mother’s Day, birthday, baptism, confirmation, graduation, Valentine’s Day, wedding anniversary and Christmas.

‘A Gift of Love from Miladay’ comes in a beautiful yellow gift box. Once received by your loved ones, they can bring it to any of Miladay’s seven branches, and choose their special jewelry piece to fill up the box.

The Dayrits – Mark, Jaqui Boncan, Michelle Soliven, Christine and Yvonne Romualdez – welcomed their guests like Peter Kawsek, Mike Toledo, Nikki and Tina Jurado, Joey and Gina Sunico, FDCP chair Jackie Atienza, Lali Suzara, Dean Philip Juico, Shiela Lim, Roi Philips, Tessie Reyes, Nene Leonor, Gilda Salonga, Blims’ Carrie Lim, Susan Yap Sulit, Francorp’s Bing Limjoco, Lazartique’s Andie Montenegro, Ginnie Lim Fernandez, Boots Tayengco, Dr. Judy Fuentes, Randy Cepeda, Penny Cham and Grace Gobing.

Guests enjoyed the sumptuous cocktails prepared by Buddy and Rita Trinidad of Park Avenue Desserts. Red and white wines from Ralph’s Wine overflowed; and so did Paradise Mango Rum Liquor. Beautiful decors were lovingly done by Loida Rapal while family friend pianist El Nora played romantic and classical pieces.

Fabulous prizes were also raffled off including a three-night stay in Nusa Dua Hotel in Bali from El Camino Travel with a round trip business class airfare from Royal Brunei Air. Also given away were gift certificates from Cebu Hilton (via Cebu Pacific), El Nido Resort in Palawan, Buri Beach Resort in Puerto Galera, Fort Ilocandia in Ilocos Norte, PNKY’s Bed and Breakfast in Baguio, Taal Vista Hotel and Punta Fuego in Tagaytay (whose recipient will be chauffeured by VOLVO Cars to and from Tagaytay), Stresscape in Shangri-La Makati and Shangri-La Edsa, Caliraya Re-Creation Center and Gold’s Gym.

‘A Gift of Love’ is also available at Miladay branches at 150 Jupiter St., Bel-Air, Makati; Glorietta 4, Makati; Waltermart in Pasong Tamo, Makati; Alabang Town Center; Robinsons Galleria; and soon in SM Mall of Asia. For inquiries, please call 896-4504 or 896-4617.
