As each day inches us closer to the holidays, Lifestyle.INQ and SM Supermalls have partnered up for a series all about gift-giving. Let us help you figure out what’s best to get for your loved ones. We’re thinking of starting early so that you can have time to think about a present that would match the different personalities in your life: from the foodie to the techie, and from children to those who are still kids at heart. Watch out as each week we will have videos and lists all to help you get just what you need to spread Christmas cheer.
I don’t know about you, but I love a good personalized gift. It speaks of the intimate connection you have with a loved one.
Personalized gifts aren’t just about having something engraved or embroidered. You also need to find an item you know they will use every day. Perhaps something they didn’t even realize they needed, but you observed out of your days together.
It means that you know each other enough. Personalized gifts aren’t always about big gestures, but about letting people know you care about them.
In our kick-off to our series of gift-giving guides with SM Supermalls, we took the advice of host and entrepreneur Tricia Centenera about getting an early jump on customized presents. You need not just time to think about which item you’re going to have personalized but also some allowance for your chosen store to work on it. Remember, as December comes closer, you might find yourself competing for time as more shoppers build their Christmas loot.
