It’s official! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re single, this might be your chance to spark a connection in the most unexpected place—while shopping.
Anko, the popular Australian home and lifestyle brand, is hosting Bagay Ba Tayo? An Anko Meet-Cute Experience on February 14, 2025, Friday at the ground level of Glorietta 2, Makati City. From 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the store transforms its aisles into a space where spontaneous interactions and lighthearted fun take center stage.
Upon arrival, participants can grab a shopping cart and choose a flower to signal their openness to meeting someone new—whether they’re looking to connect with men, women, or keeping their options open. As they browse the store, they’ll have the chance to strike up a conversation in an easy, no-pressure environment by tapping carts with another participant to initiate a chat. Each shopper will receive a set of fun icebreaker questions to help spark engaging discussions and create memorable connections.
If sparks fly, shoppers can head over to the Kaya Bagay Tayo! photo booth to capture the moment. And here’s an added bonus—those who share their experience online will get a chance to win a romantic dinner for two at a fancy restaurant. One winner will be selected based on creativity, originality, and engagement. The contest takes place from February 14 to February 28, 2025, with the winner revealed on March 7, 2025. Full terms apply.
Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, family, or friends, there are plenty of reasons to drop by, including a Valentine’s Day display of thoughtfully curated gift ideas. Shoppers can purchase the brand’s popular scented candles for ₱310. These are perfect for creating a romantic atmosphere. Their best-selling sheet masks are available for ₱440, while organic Australian cotton pillowcases for ₱180 and quilt covers for ₱660 add a touch of luxury and comfort—ideal for cozy Valentine’s evenings at home.
