Gift-giving can be frustrating—we get it. No need to beat your brains out for the perfect gift idea. Whether it's for your partner you've exhausted resources towards (not complaining!), the picky friend who doesn't want anything or the colleague you picked for the annual Secret Santa, we've got you covered. Avoid the holiday rush and purchase online with this practical guide. (Let's face it. At some point, they will need it.)
Tickets to Give Back Music Festival (P650)
There’s nothing wrong with early gift-giving! For OPM fans, Give Back Music Festival is happening this December 6 at the SM By The Bay at the Mall of Asia Complex featuring iconic Pinoy musical acts like Rico Blanco, Up Dharma Down and IV of Spades. Best of all, 100% of proceeds will go to the charitable organization of your choice.

A Monthly NBA League Pass (P485)
Men are particularly hard to shop for—trust me, I’ve tried. If you want a foolproof gift idea (other than a plain shirt from the favorite store of the patron saint of Christmas, Jose Mari Chan), a monthly NBA League Pass is a guaranteed fit. No more YouTube replays crawling with tiresome ads, plus download for offline viewing!
Purchase a monthly pass here. Weekly NBA League Passes are also available for P180.
A Viu Premium Subscription (P270 for 3 months and P520 for 6 months)
For the best friend who fits the “kinain na ng K-Drama” category, why not give a premium subscription from Viu? Pick from a wide selection of Asian dramas and movies with titles like Descendants of the Sun, My Love from the Star and Touch Your Heart. Fall into the black hole of K-Dramas with unlimited downloads for on-the-go viewing. Best of all, there are no ads for non-stop kilig!

0917 Vanguard Windbreaker Jacket (P1,795)
As the temperature drops—I say this loosely—with Christmas fast approaching, we are given the liberty to layer. This unisex white windbreaker effortlessly perfects any look and gives one the illusion of being put-together—even if you actually just threw it on for another night of merrymaking. It’s casual minimalist dressing at its finest. (Plus, it hides the resulting consequence of the dreaded food coma; you’re welcome.)

0917 Series One Pocket 10000 Powerbank (P699)
The last thing you want during the -ber months is to be stuck in a two-hour Grab ride along EDSA with your phone battery trickling into non-existence. For the on-the-go multi-hyphenate and the professional binge-watcher, a trustworthy power bank is a must-have. With a dual-port, it even enables multi-port charging. Now, how to recharge from all the social gatherings this holiday season?
