Oodaalolly x Lil’ Balikbayan Collaborate On
A Mother’s Day Trip To Chocolate Hills
SAN FRANCISCO, California - Mother’s Day is a celebration of love and an occasion to strengthen the bonds of affection between moms and their children. Oodaalolly x Lil’ Balikbayan has teamed up to produce a curated Mother’s Day Experience to do just that.
Studies show chocolate boosts verbal learning and memory in children and adults. It’s also something both kids and adults enjoy. The combination of chocolate with fun and educational experiences courtesy of Lil’ Balikbayan and their partners Campfire Crates and Manila Mango are sure to make this Mother’s Day especially memorable.
The experience, dubbed “A Trip to Chocolate Hills,” includes an itinerary filled with fun art activities like tarsier making, silly storytime, and more. It also has a recipe for tablea tsokolate so mother and child can savor a bit of the Philippines while making interesting cultural discoveries.
This Mommy & Me Experience is a unique and memorable way for mothers and kids to spend sweet quality time together.
“A Trip to Chocolate Hills” is available for pre-order on April 17th and comes with:
Oodaalolly’s signature 100% Cacao Tablea (unsweetened 85g/3oz bar)
