Can you believe it is just a few weeks before Christmas? Our most favorite time of the year is finally here and yes, unfortunately, it is also the busiest, and for some, the most stressful. But do not let all the excitement and the many lists of things-to-do, not to mention the horrendous traffic everywhere, dampen your excitement about the merriest season of all.
Here are a few thoughtful Christmas gift ideas to get you started with your Christmas shopping:
- Health Kit ~ most people, especially mums, will appreciate this thoughtful gift as the Christmas season is also the time of cough, colds, and other weather-related illnesses. You can simply get a clear box and fill it up with vitamins and medicines from your trusted brands like Unilab {just like the ones in the photo}. I recommend Biogesic and Solmux, as they can come handy this time of year. You can be as extravagant as filling the kit to the brim, or you can also opt to just include a couple of items the receiver will most definitely use.
- Power Bank ~ who will not be delighted to receive a power bank? Everybody needs one to stay connected to their loved ones or social media on their mobile devices, or keep up with all their online games even while on the go without worrying about their batteries going dead. I highly recommend the ASUS Credit Card Size 10050mAh Quick Charge Power Bank, as I totally love using it! It is very handy and can be easily stashed in your purses or bags while traveling. It is also quick-charging and can easily charge 2 gadgets with its 10050mAh capacity.
- Books ~ anyone will appreciate a good book and I do not they will ever go out of style. It is a perfect gift for book lovers, as well as for children to encourage them to read. Mums will also appreciate them, as they sometimes do not have enough time to buy something off the bookstore shelf for themselves whenever they go there to shop for the children’s school stuff. And just a tip, if you are planning to give books to your inaanaks or your loved ones this year, there is no better way to get them than at the Scholastic’s The Big Christmas Blowout Warehouse Sale where you can get children’s books for as low as Php20! I have already been there over the weekend and I cannot wait to share my shopping haul with you. The sale will be up until 23 December, and they will be open from 9am-6pm. I shall include more details in another post, so watch out for it!
the little man in our previous visit to Kidzania, where he cannot wait to go back - Awesome Experience ~ gifts carefully wrapped under the tree are not the only thing you can give your loved ones and friends this Christmas. Great experiences, like outdoor adventures, amusement park visits, or travels are also awesome and thoughtful gifts to give. The Christmas break is the most perfect time to do these wonderful activities as everyone in the family is at home. It is a great time to bond with everyone and create beautiful memories that everyone will surely remember for years to come.
anyone would appreciate a lovely trip to the spa - Relaxation ~ the whole year had been busy and bustling with activities, especially for those who keep a 9-5 job or for mums who has school-aged children, that they will surely appreciate the gift of relaxation. This can be in a form of a Gift Certificate to a favorite salon for some pampering and relaxation or a day of bonding at the spa for a whole body massage or foot spa.
We do not really have to shell out a ton of money to make our gifts for our loved ones this year unique and special. A little touch of creativity, a ton of thoughtfulness, and making sure the gift is tailor-made for the receiver and I am certain your Christmas gift will be a big hit! Enjoy spreading the holiday cheer! 😀

I always give books to my grandkids, along with other gifts. They love to read and are always thrilled when they receive new books.
Yes, books are also one of my most favorite items to give and receive as gifts! 🙂
There are so many great gift ideas here in this list. I love the idea of gifting a power bank, because it’s such a useful and practical gift that can really come in handy!
It sure is!
These are great ideas. I know my husband and I could really use a relaxation type gift!
That is one of my favorites, too. I hope you get one this year! 🙂
I know it looks unusual, but I would so appreciate the Health Gift box is someone gave that to me. Full of things you need in the cold season all in one kit.
That is true! I am sure most mums will appreciate this thoughtful gift.
Number 4 is a fantastic gift idea. I love creating happy memories with my family so giving the gift of a awesome experience is right up my alley.
It is one of my favorite things to do with my family, too. I hope we all get to do this soon! 🙂
I do not know what I would do without my powebank, looks like I need to get one for my sister as she keeps trying to steal mine.
That’s a great idea!
I’m all for awesome experiences! Sometimes people never think to do it themselves unless they are gifted the opportunity.
The same reason why I included it in my list! I hope we all get to experience something awesome with our families before the year ends! 🙂
I think with the volume of things we can do with our phone, powerbanks have been a must know. This would be a really great gift idea. A health kit would be helpful too.
Indeed, the reason why I added it on my list. Yes, a health kit will also be great and I am sure anyone who receives one will highly appreciate it!
I could definitely use a power bank this Christmas! I always have a gadget that needs charging.
Don’t we all? I hope you get one under the tree this year.
I want that health kit! And… the rest of the list as well. 😀
I wish to have an awesome experience with my kids soon. Maybe not this year but soon. :yes:
An awesome experience with the kiddos will be priceless. I hope you can bring them to Kidzania when you visit Manila one of these days, and make sure to tag us along so Jared and Bella can have a playdate, ayt? ^_^
I love the idea of gifting an experience. I know I’m a lot more likely to do something I want to do if the door is opened…so to speak. I just enjoyed a Paint Night outing and probably would never have gone if I hadn’t been given the voucher!
It is something that everyone will appreciate and enjoy! 🙂
I also cant believe Christmas is coming really soon, great post, i really like the idea of giving a power bank (external battery charger) as a gift, that will be very useful for him or her, thank you for sharing 🙂
Time flies, right? You’re welcome, I totally appreciate having a power bank + I am sure anyone will, too! 🙂
These are really great gift ideas! I’d choose the power bank for my husband, books for my daughter and relaxation for myself 🙂
Great choice! I will also opt for relaxation! 🙂
I love these gift ideas. Very unique. As a mom I would totally love to get a health kit.
I guess most mums will appreciate one, right? 🙂
I’m planning to get some power banks. But don’t tell anyone!!! It’s a secret!
Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me! 🙂
