The holidays are upon us again, and that means it’s once again time for us to start thinking of not just what we’ll be serving on our Noche Buena tables, but also the gifts we’ll be putting under the Christmas tree. And if you’re on a budget, you might think that finding the perfect gift for your people is simply impossible. That’s just not true, though, since if you know where to look, there’s always going to be something online that’s not only affordable but is also something that they will like and enjoy using!
Below, we’re listing down 8 of the many gift ideas under P500 that you can give to your friends and loved ones this Christmas. Check them out below:
Scented Candle
For the friend who’s obsessed with candles, you can check out Yoke Candle Co.’s handcrafted vegan candles. The brand has a variety of scents you can choose from, but one scent you can try is the Caspian Sea, which has notes of spicy cardamom, sea salt, and amber. The standard-sized 7oz candles burn for 25-35 hours, while the double wick 17oz vessel burns for 60-70 hours.

Planner
A planner is the perfect gift for someone who likes to stay on top of things and take note of her upcoming tasks and schedules. While there are so many options out there, something which is as simple and as minimalistic as this one from Muji can be your best bet. It comes in 2 sizes and has monthly or weekly spreads which will help your friend keep track of your appointments and notes.

Double-Walled Mug
Another good gift idea is a double-walled mug that can keep your friend’s drink cold or warm for a longer period of time. This particular kind of mug is quite durable and can also be ~aesthetic~ additions to their workspaces and dining tables. Locaupin’s double-walled mugs come in three sizes — 250mL, 350mL, and 450mL.

However, if you want something they can bring with them anywhere they go, you can gift them a music box keychain which they hang on their bags and play whenever they feel like it.

Tote Bag
We all have that one friend who brings a tote bag wherever they go, and if you’ve been thinking about what else to give them for Christmas, it would definitely have to be another tote bag which they can add to their collection. Totes from OberDer all feature a design that’s simple yet to pretty to look at, is big enough to store their essentials and more, and even comes with a zip enclosure so you can be assured that your items will be safe and secured!

Oil Blends
Lastly, for the oilbularyo friend of yours who always has oil blends in their pouches, there’s Pili Beauty’s Essential Oil Blends which come in a set of travel-sized bottles. The set has a blend for every purpose, may it be for when you need to destress, have a good night’s sleep, or awaken your senses for the day. It can also be a good buy if you’re up to trying out new scents and blends to see what works best for you.
