MANILA, Philippines – Christmas shopping season is in full swing, and with it comes traffic on the road and crowded malls.
Luckily, not all gifts need to be bought in stores nowadays – there are a lot of shops selling cool stuff online that would make great presents for the holidays.
Whether you’re shopping for friends for family there are good deals and unique presents you can get while beating the holiday rush.
Here are a few things you can get for your loved ones with just the click of a button.
Makeup
If you’re shopping for a girly girl, you can snag some great holiday makeup collections and sets online. Try Sephora.ph or BeautyMNL if you’re looking to avoid the busy beauty counters at the mall.
Our pick: There’s a lot of makeup you can buy at counters that are also available online, but we suggest you give your friends something that can only be bought online. Try Sephora Collection’s “Blush, Bronzed and Ready to Glow! Face Palette,” which is only available online in the Philippines.
Planners
You don’t need to collect stickers and stamps at your favorite restaurant to get planners – other stores let you order them online. Check out our list of 2017 planners here to see which one is perfect for your loved one (or yourself) next year!
Our pick: Witty Will Save the World’s planners are a hit every year, because they’re chock-full of hugot quotes, words of wisdom, and hilarious lines about relationships and life. Check out Tita Witty’s 2017 planner here.
Music
You could get your friend a music streaming subscription, but there’s nothing like well-thought out physical CD, complete with lyrics on the insert and beautiful album art.
Our pick: A lot of young artists like Autotelic and Ben&Ben have released albums or EPs this year, and you might like to surprise a friend with those. But taste in music is really personal, so if you’re unsure, try listening to some of the great artists we’ve had over for Live Jam.
Stationery
Cute stickers and stationery are great gifts for kids and kids at heart. Decorate your friends’ desks with calendars and notebooks from The Lunchbreak Project or fill some stockings with stamps and washi tape from Hey Kessy.
Our pick: Washi tape are great stocking stuffers for any crafty friend, while calligraphy pens and markers are good options for an artsy friend who wants to try out something new. Wrap them all up in some cute Christmas-themed wrapping paper, which you can buy online too.
Leather goods
If you’re looking to give someone a more luxurious present, there are many online shops where you can order quality leather bags or wallets like NiQua or Katre.
Our pick: It’s a little difficult to choose what bag will best suit a friend’s lifestyle and fashion sense, but wallets like NiQua’s Cerniera wallet serve as more versatile gifts.
