#PINNED: Give the gift of learning this 12.12 Christmas Sale

#Pinned makes it easier for young Filipinos to discover meaningful and enriching content and stories that will help them separate music from the noise, wheat from the chaff, and flowers from the weeds.

All our stories are written by young creatives who made it their life mission to know everything there is to know about how fellow young adults can make the most out of their limited downtime every day, every week.

Loads of discount vouchers, flash sales, store freebies, and free shipping deals are up for grabs this 12.12 Christmas Sale, making it the most wonderful time of the year to shop for books!

While the giver feeds one’s mind, the receiver gets the gift of knowledge by learning to expand their own horizons and develop critical thinking — which makes them see and analyze deeper ideas and concepts they didn’t understand before.

1. Save up to 95% OFF on Big Bad Wolf bestsellers

The Big Bad Wolf (BBW) recently opened its Philippine flagship store on Lazada with the same prices as the actual BBW fair. During the online launch, BBW Co-founder Jacqueline Ng shared how a single book she got as a gift started her reading interest and changed her world. Later on, this became her huge influence to establish the Big Bad Wolf with Andrew Yap, to champion their mission of bringing books to the hands of those who can’t afford it, increasing readership and literacy, and eventually, converting the non-readers into book lovers.

As the Lazada 12.12 Grand Christmas Sale approaches, the Malaysia-based 24/7 online book sale opened its official LazMall with a wide selection of fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books for Filipino bookworms and #BigBadBudolClub fanatics.
