[...] any to be kept as stock around the house. As an occasional treat, a small bar here and there, as a pasalubong but NO MORE BAGS OF CHOCOLATES or any other kind of candy for that [...]

Thanks for visiting earlier Mary’s Mom. I love this post! Ako rin mahilig sa pasalubong kahit very simple lang. It’s good to train our husbands to bring home pasalubong. Well trained na ang asawa ko. hehehe. Last week, he brought home shrimp from Costco.

Are you a Pinoy Mom’s member? If not join ka na rin!

A lot of traditions, sometimes, seem to be a waste of time and effort. But when they are not observed, they’re missed.
Don’t you just love it when our men will NOT admit to tender feelings!

Hey! The pasalubong that Jack brought back are so sweet! You must get him some pasalubong when you go to the mall next!

I was going to suggest Target for licorice but then remembered your post! I bought a lot of licorice from there for last year’s Hallowe’en.

We have a tradition of pasalubong except that I don’t think we have a word for it or if we do, I don’t know what it is or I have forgotten! My Dad would always bring something back when he traveled, even if it was a silly plastic toy or candy. If I go anywhere, I make it a point to bring something back for my daughter and my husband, even though he thinks it’s a waste of time and effort. He usually does not bring anything back when he travels in the US but he has a lot of stuff when he comes back from India - things I asked for, my daughter asked for and then things he thought of. His gifts are very thoughtful even though he claims that he does not believe in gifts!
