Balikbayan

Amidst the bustling streets of GTA, Ontario, where the autumn leaves whisper stories of distant lands, the Filipino heart beats with a longing for home. This longing finds its expression in the sacred tradition of sending Balikbayan Boxes, a practice that Move For Less upholds with devotion and care. These boxes, filled with love and memories, are lifelines that connect the Filipino diaspora in Canada to their roots in the Philippines.

Crafting the Perfect Balikbayan Box: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Selecting the Contents: The art of filling a Balikbayan Box begins with the selection of items that carry the warmth of home. Consider including:

  • Non-perishable food items that evoke the flavors of home, such as packets of adobo mix, sinigang sachets, and beloved Filipino snacks that can’t be found abroad.
  • Personal care items, which might be more expensive or hard to come by in the Philippines, like shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, and lotions.
  • Clothing and accessories, reflecting the latest trends or simply offering comfort, such as t-shirts, hoodies, and scarves.
  • Toys and school supplies for the younger family members, which not only bring joy but also support their education and creative play.
  • Small gadgets and electronics, which can provide entertainment or aid in daily tasks, symbolizing the progress and achievements of those abroad.

2. Packing with Care: Every item placed in a Balikbayan Box is wrapped with intention, ensuring its safe transit across oceans. Layer items strategically, with heavier items at the bottom and fragile items cushioned securely.

3. Sealing with Love: As the box is sealed, a silent prayer is whispered, encapsulating hopes and dreams for the family who will receive it. This seal is not just of tape but of an unbreakable bond that distance cannot diminish.

4. Sending with Move For Less: Entrusting your Balikbayan Box to Move For Less means entrusting it to a family that understands its value. With expertise and empathy, we ensure that your box of treasures navigates the journey home, carrying with it the essence of your love and care.
