31 Gifts for Mom and Dad - their dream home wishlist at Habitat Manila

31 Gifts for Mom and Dad - their dream home wishlist at Habitat Manila

While Santa’s got his elves churning out toys for nice little girls and boys, Sir Terence Conran, founder of European home furnishings design studio Habitat, has his team of designers crafting furniture and home items mom and dad could only (previously) dream of. What started as a simple idea to bring innovation, creativity, and color to furniture is now a 50-year-strong brand that stands for exquisite design with practical applications at affordable prices. It’s finally here -- Habitat has landed in Manila.

Staying true to their roots while constantly innovating to both catch and create design trends, everything at Habitat Manila is beautiful, useful, and affordable. We’ve found that many items have some pretty cool stories behind them too – and who doesn’t love a good conversation piece? Check out these 31 presents that mom and dad would LOVE to receive on any occasion.

For Mom

For Mom

From the kitchen, to the living room, to the kids' area, to the outdoor patio - we give you tons of ideas of what Mom would love to have in her home. (Mom, if you're reading this, now would be a good time to holler to your son/daughter/husband and say "Look at this great article I'm reading!" or send it to the family chat group!)
An oil AND vinegar "atomizer", P950

She'll definitely get the kids to help with this tool! Just pop the garlic wedges in and roll it across the countertop to get them sliced.

Part of the collection designed with multi-Michelin star Chef Thierry Marx, this standard mixing bowl has a simple but ingenious innovation: a 1L to 4L scale on the inside!

Design-wise, they're elegant, unobtrusive, and minimalist. The functionality of the Wally floor-and-table lamp is also fantastic as the tiny table is the perfect size for setting down a glass of water or mom's night cream. Lamp shades, which can be purchased separately, also have the unique feature of a movable part that allows them to be hung or attached to a base.
