Your Loved Ones in a Holi-Daze With These Skin-Loving Christmas Gifts!

 

The Yuletide season has always been a vital part of the Filipino tradition. We have always been inclined to prepare weeks before the anticipated celebration. Earlier than the rest of the world, we hang our garlands and Christmas lights, decorate our Christmas trees, blast tunes that allude to the said holiday, plan out our wish-list, and haul gifts for the ones we hold dearest — an exciting routine that leaves us hyped and ready for the real thing.

Holiday Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your Christmas List


It’s once again the season of giving! No other time in the year do people spend more time (and money!), carefully thinking and purchasing gifts for the ones they love. And while it is fun to receive gifts, a lot of people would agree in saying that this season was really meant for “giving” rather than “receiving.”  So for those of you who wish to give the best, here are a few gift ideas to get you started.

Purple Oven Goodies

I have been receiving Purple Oven goodies as Christmas gifts from friends for a couple of years now. These Purple Oven goodies have been very popular with my friends because they said that Purple Oven Bakeshop is one of the pasty suppliers of the largest chain of coffee shops here in the Philippines.

Even if I loved these yummy goodies, I haven't had a chance to go the store itself (and buy) because I knew that I would be receiving them anyway, especially during Christmas, haha!  But because I have started a series of Holiday Gift Ideas, I went to their store in Makati to take some photos and share them with you....

Holiday Gift Ideas #5. Sosi Bayongs

Shop, Save the Planet and Make a Statement with Sosi Bayongs!

Eco bags have become increasingly popular because many people have begun to see the importance of  helping to protect our environment and our planet.  When we use environmentally friendly (or eco-friendly) bags, we do our part in reducing the waste in the world because it could reduce the high number of non-biodegradable plastic bags found in our landfills.

However, the problem with some Eco Bags available here is that they kinda look dull and unstylish...that's why, not everybody wants to carry them.  When I went to Centris Market a few Sundays ago, I found these Sosi Bayongs, and yes! They are a great alternative to the dull eco-friendly bags .. could really make a statement (looks Sosi talaga!) .. and the best thing is that, (since they are actually Bayongs), they are proudly Pinoy!

Holiday Gift Ideas #1. Merry Macarons

I've always wanted to give gifts that I'd also love to have (or to eat:)).  This holiday season, I will be sharing some gift ideas or suggestions which I think both the giver and the receiver will be happy to have.

When we, Filipinos hear about Macarons or Macaroons, we think of Coconut Macaroons, one of the principal ingredients of which is shredded dry coconut.  Merry Macarons is not that kind of macaroon...they are French Macarons!  A French Macaron is a dainty cream-filled sandwich cookie which melts in your mouth and tastes like heaven!   While regular French macarons make use of almond flour, Merry Macarons are made from a mix of ground almonds and...cashew nuts! That's simply because cashew is so delicious and best of all, it's local :)  and unlike other French Macs available here, Merry Macs are reasonably-priced..hence, they landed on my list of Holiday Gift Ideas :)
