Still on the lookout for meaningful holiday gifts for family and friends? Fire up the Christmas spirit in your loved ones with these recommendations.
- Spend time with your loved ones responsibly.
While we are still under a pandemic, we need to be mindful of how we gather with our loved ones. Do your homework and look for places that are less crowded and observe safety and health protocols, whether it’s parks or playgrounds where children can once again feel like children, or limited capacity movie theaters to catch the latest blockbusters. Aside from the necessary precautions, what is important is the presence you bring into that time you spend with the people you value. Don’t forget to capture those moments with your smartphone!
- Personalized pandemic essentials made by local artisans
Most of us now have sanitation kits with bottles of rubbing alcohol and face masks. However, these continue to be appreciated, especially as you can find local designers and makers who have elevated them into beautiful works of art. You can even opt to personalize them for your recipient. Not only will you make an impact on your loved one or colleague, you are also helping a Filipino business and its employees.
- You can’t go wrong with Simbang Gabi or Noche Buena classics
While they are actually available all year round, post-Simbang Gabi breakfast icons like bibingka, puto bumbong, and hot tablea or Noche Buena staples like ham, queso de bola, or the controversial fruit cake just become more festive in December. They not just appeal to the taste buds, but they also seem to harken back to more innocent times when the world seemed kinder and gentler.
- Fire up their mobile gameplay
Since the pandemic, gaming has become bigger than ever. Based on the latest digital reports, the majority of Filipinos have become mobile gamers. If you have a loved one who has found stress relief in titles like Garena Free Fire, you may consider getting them a powerful gaming smartphone like the Infinix NOTE 11S.
Packing a powerful MediaTek Helio G96 processor, eight gigabytes of RAM, a hefty 5000mAh battery with a 33W fast charger, the Infinix NOTE 11S will undoubtedly make their Christmas season full of excitement. While you may start off getting it as a gift, its attractive pricing may make you consider getting one for yourself. #FireUpTheGame
- Level up their school or work experience
All of us had to work remotely at some point since the pandemic started. As school and work continue to be in a remote or hybrid setup at best, an efficient computer remains a need for daily activities. However, more often than not, trust-worthy gadgets can be costly.
The great news? The budget-friendly 14” Infinix INBOOK X1 laptop is now available, boasting the latest 10th gen Intel processors, 8 gigs of RAM, a battery that can last you up to 13 hours of activity backed with a 65W fast charger. It’s an all-around performer that has become a bestseller since its launch. Not only will it serve you well either in school or at work, it is also dependable for streaming movies with your loved ones, video chatting for hours on end, making and posting funny memes; the limit is your imagination.
