Look: My #ChristmasIdeasAtSMCityMasinag Last-Minute Haul

Ugaling Pinoy?

Well, most of us Filipinos would find ourselves rushing to malls two days before Christmas or on the day itself to buy gifts for our friends and family.

While you can just grab whatever item you have from last year's celebration then cover it with a fancy wrapper and call it a day, it's always a great idea that you put extra thought into whatever's wrapped beneath the tree.

The best gifts need not be expensive, it's always the thought that counts. The " I saw this at the mall and thought of you" gift still works (for me) all the time. In case you missed out on all the big 12.12 deals last week, it’s not too late as you can always shop #OnlyAtSM!

It's always #ChristMasaya finding a range of thoughtful gift ideas for all the people you love most: for the parentals, for the teens, for the jowa, for the fur babies, and for yourself because why not! No matter what you settle on, you can rest easy knowing that you got everything you need before Santa comes to town.

The SM Store is one of our favorite "tambayans" because it is a haven of such fun ideas especially when you're on a budget, ready to customize your Christmas presents.

This holiday season, I considered adopting a health theme for my holiday shopping. Revicon Forte for my always-on-the-go mother whom I loved dearly. This supplement is the best to improve her immunity and it’ll do wonders to her overall health and body. You can gift this to support your loved one’s “health is wealth” mindset.

You can shop for your health essentials and beauty must-haves at SM Beauty section. Bobbie Cosmetics provides a full range of nail care products and solutions so I got my teens quality nail cutters each since they constantly lose theirs. Ugh.

I recently joined the community of glow-getters! Yes, St. Ives products are part of my list and you can find them at SM Beauty section. One can be kind to your skin and kind to animals, too, while achieving #TotalGlow from head to toe, so I'm glowing safely with St. Ives' complete range of 100% paraben-free and 100% cruelty-free #DeliciousNature goodies, hihi!

Adilete Clogs are great finds for your sporty and stylish loved ones this Christmas! Giving these to the jowa :)

Adidas Outlet is now open at the Lower Ground Floor, SM City Masinag. Get great deals on Adidas footwear, apparel, bags, and more.

Even the smallest gift can make a huge difference, the reason why I got the jowa this long lasting fragrance Air Spencer Marine-Squash from Ace Hardware, the leading one-stop-shop for the latest solutions in home improvement. And they are on sale up to 50% off on best brand now until Dec 25 at SM City Masinag!
