Summer 2026 Made Brighter: Anko Philippines Launches Beach, Picnic, and Outdoor Family Essentials
Passions of a SAHM
February 27, 2026
The countdown to summer has officially begun. Soon, alarm clocks will be silenced, school bags tucked away, and calendars cleared for spontaneous swim trips, relaxed merienda picnics, and backyard playdates that stretch until sunset. For Filipino families, summer is more than a season — it’s a time to reconnect, recharge, and create simple yet meaningful memories together.
Just in time for these sun-soaked moments, Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko introduces a new collection of affordable, thoughtfully designed summer essentials made to complement the way Filipino families celebrate the season. From beach escapes to shaded park picnics and at-home mini adventures, Anko makes it easy to plan bright, stress-free days outdoors.

Make Waves with a Quick Beach or Pool Day
Nothing says summer like a spontaneous trip to the beach or pool. Whether it’s a full-day outing or a quick morning dip, the key to a successful swim day is preparation — especially when little ones are involved.
Help young swimmers build confidence in the water with the Swim Vest (₱880), designed to support safe and comfortable play. Add excitement to splash time with the 4-Pack of Dive Fish (₱260), perfect for underwater treasure hunts that keep kids engaged and active.
After hours in the water, dry off quickly with the Hooded Cotton Beach Towels (₱390) for kids, offering warmth and coverage in one easy step. Parents can lounge comfortably using the plush Turkish Cotton Beach Towel (₱590) — ideal for setting up a cozy family “home base” on the sand or poolside.
Snack breaks are just as important as swim sessions. Keep treats organized and colorful with Pastel Tumblers, Plates, and Bowls (₱130 each) that are lightweight and easy to carry. When it’s time to pack up, the durable EVA Tote Bag (₱690) keeps everything secure. Its waterproof, wipe-clean material ensures damp towels and swim gear stay neatly contained, making cleanup effortless.
With the right essentials on hand, even a quick swim day transforms into a relaxed, joy-filled family experience.
Enjoy a Shady Park Picnic (Even for Simple Merienda)
A picnic doesn’t have to mean an elaborate spread. Sometimes, a simple merienda under a shady tree is all it takes to make a weekday feel special.
Start with the versatile 2-in-1 Bag and Mat (₱790), which unfolds into a ready-to-use picnic surface in seconds. Keep snacks elevated and stable on grass with the practical Picnic Table (₱660), while the stylish Retro Cooler (₱1,190)ensures drinks stay refreshingly cold throughout the afternoon.
Store homemade favorites or takeout treats in the spacious Large Food Containers (₱1,120), designed to keep meals fresh and organized. Parents can unwind in comfort with the classic Blue Stripe Chair (₱790), blending functionality with timeless summer style.
To keep energy levels high, bring along the Catch Ball Set (₱290) for lighthearted family competition. And for families bringing their furry companions, the Toy Novelty Cooling Set (₱890) helps pets stay cool and included in the day’s fun.
With minimal setup and thoughtful essentials, even a short park visit can turn into a refreshing summer ritual.

Turn the Backyard into a Mini Adventure Zone
Not every memorable summer moment requires travel. For busy families or those who prefer staying close to home, the backyard can easily become a space for exploration and play.
Encourage active movement with the vibrant Rainbow Twirl Ribbon (₱90), or let imaginations soar with the lightweight Foam Glider (₱160) and the thrilling Aerospace Power Rocket (₱840). For friendly competition, set up the Archery Set (₱260) or challenge kids to master the Skip Ball (₱260).
Younger children can dive into imaginative play with the Truck Adventure Set (₱290), perfect for storytelling and creative scenarios. After an afternoon of laughter and games, cool down with sweet treats served in the charming Ice Cream Bowl and Spoon Set (₱370) — a simple way to end the day on a delightful note.
These small yet meaningful activities prove that summer magic often happens right at home.

Everyday Moments, Made Brighter
Summer memories are not defined by how far families travel, but by the shared experiences that fill each sunny day. With Anko’s fresh collection of seasonal must-haves, parents can relax a little longer, kids can play a little harder, and every outing — big or small — becomes easier to plan and more enjoyable to experience.
This limited-time summer collection is now available at Anko stores located at Ayala Malls Glorietta 2, TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, Manila Bay, and Feliz. Families are encouraged to visit early to grab their favorites before stocks run out.
