We are exactly thirty days away from Christmas! WHAT? REALLY?! Yep, that was my reaction because I am so not prepared for the most wonderful time of the year yet. I usually start buying gifts as early as September so I don’t have to scour shopping centers in December with everyone else. But this year, I forgot. Yes, I forgot!

Although Christmas is really all about love and thanksgiving, it’s a bit Grinch-ish to celebrate it without gift giving. I’m not being materialistic here. I’m just saying that I can’t let Christmas pass without me giving even the simplest tokens of appreciation to the people I care about.

I’ve been super busy the whole year that I feel it just went by like a breeze. One moment I started my business and opened my office, the next moment it’s almost Christmas! I expect busier days come December because of all the pre-holiday work and parties. Imagine ha, as early as now, all my December weekends are booked!

That said, I don’t think I’ll have the time to go all-out gift shopping this year. I’m looking into giving out pre-packaged gifts since it won’t take much of my time to prepare. All I need is to write a greeting card then off it goes to the recipient!

Here are some (pre-packaged) holiday gift ideas for you:

For the food lover, you can get them these Holiday Baskets from S&R. Each basket contains loads of goodies that anyone will love! S&R’s New Year Tidings Basket (PHP 1,499.95) has everything a coffee lover will need for a relaxing coffee break during the holidays. The Holiday Bounty Basket (PHP 3,499.95) is perfect for the king (or queen) of the kitchen who plans to serve a feast during Noche Buena.

Now, I know that the holidays means LOTS of exchange gift parties. We’re part of a ton this year because we’ll be attending Christmas parties with the family, with our co-workers and with our co-parents in Assumption. If you’re looking for a Kris Kringle gift, then you have to check out these hot buys from S&R:

The Loc Maria Crepe Choco (PHP599.95) sure looks like a delicious gift to give! For the kids, a can of Kelsen Danish Cookies (PHP 179.95 – what a deal!) would be a wonderful gift. I love receiving a can of danish cookies when I was a kid because I get to keep the can afterward and store my toys in it. 😀 Tell me you did that too!

Like I always say, you really gotta #LoveSNR for all their amazing products and deals! Now that my Christmas gifts problem is settled, I can relax and enjoy the days leading up to the most wonderful time of the year. 🙂
