OVS Holiday Picks: Top 5 Christmas Gift Ideas Under P700

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the spirit of giving remains alive this Holiday Season. After all, we all need a reason to smile and the best way to do that is through the age-old tradition of gift-giving.  

With only a few more days before Christmas, you might as well beat the crowds and shop for the perfect gift this early on. Apart from that, you also need to know what to give at a cost that fits your pocket. 

Luckily, OVS has got you covered. Here’s a list of the top five Christmas gift ideas at P700 or less!

 

If you know someone who is an avid coffee lover, then this coffee brewing kit from BrewsCo would be the ideal gift. It comes with a 350mL French press and 200g of Mount Apo Arabica grounds. The kit costs P699 plus the shipping fee — unless of course, you have an extra free shipping voucher lying around. All in all, it’s still a great deal if it means satisfying someone else’s daily caffeine fix.

 

Stationery and calligraphy enthusiasts will definitely appreciate it if you give them fountain pens this Christmas. While these luxury writing tools can cost as much as P20,000, you can look for entry-level fountain pens that cost less than P500. Consider the Platinum Prefounte fountain pen which retails for P495 at Scribe. With its transparent resin body and stainless steel nib, this pen is sure to trigger an obsession in the person receiving it!

 

While 2020 is going to be the year of canceled plans, we can only hope to fulfill these plans in 2021. People deserve a better year and it’s for this reason that giving out planners to your well-organized friends won’t go out of style. Let them say goodbye to 2020 by giving them a 2021 Daily Interact Certified Positive Planner, complete with motivational messages for a year filled with possibilities. 

 

For the plantitos and plantitas who have been growing their collections this year, help them nurture their newfound hobby by gifting them with rare succulents and cacti. You can easily find plant sellers anywhere, but if you don’t want to expose yourself outside, you can always try out online sellers like The Greenthumb Souvenirs. Though they offer ornamental plants that are intended to be given away as souvenirs, the store has a wide selection of succulents, cacti, and even rare plants starting from P350. 

 

A staple among work-from-home employees, stress relief rubs are affordable and easy to find. And with so many aromas to choose from starting at around P100 per 50g, you might as well buy an entire set for someone who really needs them. Our top pick for this would be Meiyi Creations Spa Essentials, which is available in four different scents: lavender, bubblegum, ginger, and herb. We suggest getting all four so your special partner gets the full spa experience.

Whatever it is you want to give this Christmas, it’s important to keep safe while you shop for the best gift for capping the year!
