It’s that time of the year again. And since gift-giving can be taxing, we know you want a fool-proof plan this holiday season. Easiest tip? Give a gift to the people you’re thankful this year according to their personalities and lifestyle.
If you think your friends fit in these four categories, here are some items to consider.
For the travel blogger
Got that friend who’s always nowhere to be seen but everywhere to be found? Give them luggage if they need one, a camera for more quality Instagram posts, sunglasses that promise protection from harmful UV rays, or headphones that keep them occupied during long-haul flights and rides.
For the eco-advocate
We love that sustainability is getting so much attention nowadays, converting lifestyles into greener ones. For those who are more keen about their carbon footprint, give them metal straws, notebooks made from recycled paper, naturally-made sea salt spray and body scrub, and succulent plants.
For the nocturnal creative
We in Nolisoli always preach the importance of getting quality sleep. But let’s admit it, we don’t always get what we want—especially those who work in the creative industry with deadlines to catch. Give them a reed diffuser to refresh their environment, whiskey stones for those who function well when tipsy, Barako beans for the caffeine-head, or a MacBook to power their creative pursuits, if you’re feeling extra generous.
For the gym rat
There’s always someone in a barkada who relaxes by going to the gym or a health spa. Devoted to maintaining their shape and wellness, sensing guilt whenever they miss a fitness or workout class, here are some items you can give them: a duffel bag, headphones, fitness watch, and sugar-free banana chips.
