The holidays are just around the corner and if you’re still clueless on what to give your significant other, friends, or family, look no further as we’ve gathered the best gift ideas for them this 2022.
Christmas this year is starting to look different, with things slowly returning to normal and people’s lifestyles are slowly changing. It can mean wanting various items for the coming year.
For the K-pop or K-drama fan
Korea is more accessible than ever! You can quickly buy K-pop merch or tickets to your favorite actor’s meet and greet. Merch is available online from resellers and online shopping platforms, like KPOPTOWN, or you can even directly purchase it from a store in Korea and ship it to the Philippines with the help of a logistics partner.
Be sure to find trusted online resellers to ensure a positive experience. You can check their legitimacy through positive feedback or agreeing to pay cash on delivery for the item.
However, if you want to make someone’s Korean dream come true of meeting their ideal and have the means to splurge more, there are back-to-back concerts and meet and greets this 2023 where you can cop early bird tickets after a few clicks! Convenient right?
SM Tickets are one of the most reliable sources for tickets. You can visit their website or go to the nearest SM branch in your area to purchase tickets.
For the one looking to ‘glow up’ in 2023
Everyone’s going back to their regular programming next year. That can mean going back to school, working, or traveling. We’re all about looking and feeling our best.
You can give your loved one an all-expense paid trip to the salon or Watsons! Multiple stores accept Sodexo as their mode of payment in case you’re too shy to give cash directly. You can check which brands accept gift vouchers as their mode of transaction on their website, where you can also purchase gift certificates.
Place your order, and they will deliver it right to your doorstep. No need to worry about location because they will ship anywhere in the Philippines!
Another way to show them your love is to subscribe them to a beauty subscription box so they can try out new skincare and makeup products every month!
For the one trying to get their life together
You could never go wrong with a planner! The new year is always the perfect time to start organizing so you can start strong and get a hold of your schedule.
Thanks to online stores, there are plenty of planners to choose from, depending on preference. You can even check the inside pages to see if the layout suits your needs! However, if you are the type to want to see the actual product, Typo has plenty of planners to choose from, and they are all must-haves!
National Bookstore also carries numerous planners, but if you want to add a personal touch, get them a customized planner with their name or a short message on the cover page.
A quick search on Lazada or Shopee will show numerous sellers that customize a wide range of things, from planners to mugs, you name it! The best part is it is inexpensive and convenient to do.
For the game enthusiast
If your partner is into gaming, a steam card is guaranteed to keep him in awe! There are plenty of games for him to purchase and play. Lucky for you, it doesn’t need to cost as much as a new PS5. You could choose from a digital voucher or a physical gift card with your selected amount.
However, if you’re feeling a little extra generous this year, a brand-new PS5 won’t hurt either! Stop by Game Xtreme or Datablitz the next time you visit the mall so you can start scouting for the best prices and freebies!
For the music lover
We can’t stress enough how many great earphones and headphones are in the market that fit all budgets!
For earphones under P1,000, the Baseus wireless earphones ensure a great listening experience. You can buy it directly from their Shopee Mall store and even score it at a discounted price when you stack vouchers.
If you’re willing to splurge a little more, Sudio’s ETT earphones are a great match to Apple’s Airpods Pro! Both can be found in Power Mac stores nationwide.
However, if you’re going to go all out, the second-generation Apple Airpods Pro will bag you the best gifter award this year!
And if they’re not into earphones, then Sony’s WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones should be on your radar. It has gained popularity and positive reviews over time and has been a great alternative to the Airpods Max, which costs almost twice as much.
You can cop these wireless headphones at Abenson, Electroworld, or Sony’s official Lazada or Shopee store.
There are countless gift ideas to consider this holiday season. Regardless of the price or item, remember the well-known adage, “it’s the thought that counts.” Don’t go buying expensive gifts just to impress someone. Always make the gift-giving season and activity heartfelt to make the recipients know that you care for them this Christmas and throughout the year.
