Doctors’ PPE Manila makes super-stylish yet functional Doctor’s Coats.
So if you have doctors or nurses or front-liners on your Christmas list, this is the perfect Christmas gift idea for them.

Each piece is made of oven-baked polymer clay, dedication, love, passion, overflowing creativity, sleepless nights, and meticulous hands! And only a few pieces are made!

Journal
Here’s a thoughtful gift for your journal-loving besties! Give the gift of mindfulness, presence, connection, positivity, and purpose with The Sunday Night Journal by Your Heart Crafted Life.
This helps create a weekly ritual to connect with oneself, reflect on things in life, and set meaningful priorities. How? There are weekly prompts that you need to ponder on and answer.
I bought their Volume 2 from last year. And this year they released Volume 3 and made the journaling experience more interactive and fun through the use of washi tapes for the prompts and to decorate the pages.
Dried Flowers
Spruce up your friend’s or sister’s WFH workspace by giving them dried flowers!
A quick search on Instagram will give you hundreds of sellers, but I personally tried and love FIORI by Shanelle.
They accept custom-made so you can request any preserved and dried flower arrangements you want.
What I like about them is that they have reasonable prices, easy to talk to, and they deliver on time. I even asked them if they can deliver my orders in advance, and they accommodated my rush request!
House Plants
For the plantita and plantito in your list, surely another plant would make them super happy, right?
Share the love and help them grow their plant collection. You can find different beautiful succulent plants from Succulents PH!

Scented candles help create a cozy, inspiring workplace that they would actually love working at. They’re definitely work from home essentials!
Plus, they can light one up if they need to destress and relax. Certain scents can do wonders for one’s mood — like chamomile and lavender.
Homemade Peanut Butter
Give this Homemade Peanut Butter by The Fat Guys to that friend of yours who always loves snacking!
The Fat Guys originated from Cebu, but Nimi Philippines is their official reseller here in Manila.
Now your friends can enjoy guilt-free snacking as there are no artificial flavors added (and homemade ones are always better than commercial ones). They can spread this thick, creamy, buttery goodness on their choice of bread or eat a spoonful on its own.
They’re so good, I swear! I repurchased already so I’ll have some stash for the holidays.
Gourmet Spanish Style Sardines
Spanish sardines should definitely be a staple on anyone’s pantry! They can be used in many different ways — for pasta, sandwich, or topped on hot rice!
These gourmet Spanish style sardines from Cucina Cinco are so delicious! Just the right amount of saltiness, the kind that is not so overpowering.
They have bundles that come in holiday packaging, so they’re an excellent Christmas gift idea for loved ones!
Homemade Desserts
Homemade desserts are the perfect Christmas gift idea for anyone who loves sweets! Wildberry Manila specializes in cupcakes, cheesecakes, and tiramisu.
They’re my go-to when I need to surprise someone with a sweet treat or cake during this pandemic. Pictured above are my latest order from them — strawberry cheesecake and tiramisu. Yum! Super worth it (and worth the calories too, hehe).
Coffee Drips
Looking for a Christmas gift idea for your workaholic friend? Why not give them some dose of coffee to keep them on top of their A-game?
This coffee drip set from Sip N Chug PH is available in different flavors — Arabica, Barako, Robusta, Excelsa.
What’s great about coffee drips is that it makes brewing your coffee so easy! There’s no need for coffee makers, french presses, or any coffee equipment.

Give your loved ones something that can help relieve their stress or anxiety.
This All is Well Oil from Zenutrients is a must-have portable aromatherapy. It helps calm the body with its therapeutic ingredients.

Yung first 4 may kinalaman sa COVID-19 which I think mas kailangan talaga natin ngayon. HAHA gusto ko magkaroon ng alcohol spray keychain. Para di ko na kailangan ilabas-pasok sa bag yung alcohol pag gagamitin ko
House plants yung naisip ko… dahil kasi sa quarantine dumami ang family, relatives and friends na naging plantitos at plantitas. At gusto ko naman tikman yung homemade peanut butter at yung coffee. 🙂
I have been eyeing for scented candles and dried flowers for so long now! Now I know where to get it as a gift for myself, too! Might get a PPE for my mom who works at a clinic!
Naalala ko last year yung gourmet spanish sardines ang pinaka sikat na gift sa office. Gusto ko yung handmade accessories para sa mga tropa
These are some nice finds. Also a couple of practical and handy gifts for this pandemic times on this list. I actually need fresh scented candles for my wfh office set up now. Huhu. The others, ill look into gifting my friends. Haha
