Holiday Gift Giving On A Budget

By

Ber months have already started and here in the Philippines, most households are already starting to decorate their houses with Christmas decorations. During this time of the year, our wallets get crucial due to the sale here and there. More often than not, we over budget because, SALE. I have been once a victim of this and way back and not falling for the same thing again. So here, I am sharing with you tips on how you can wisely spend your bonuses on gifts.

Make a list. Doing so narrows down whom you are supposed to give gifts only. It saves you time from thinking of what to give. 


Set a budget. Setting a certain budget for gifts keeps us from spending more than our target. We just need to make sure to stick with it or we are screwed. for the rest of the holidays. 

DIY. If you have the gift of DIYing, then this is also perfect for those who are on a budget. You can save a few bucks from doing DIY instead of paying someone to do it for you.


Plan Ahead of Time. Holidays are the busiest. You need to plan when to buy and when to give out. That way, you save your sanity from getting stuck in a horrendous traffic during the holiday season. 

 Take Advantage of Sale. Who doesn't love SALE? Remember to be wise enough to stick to your budget so you don't end up with an empty wallet the following year. 


If you want to know the different stores that have their items on sale during this season, you can check my post here:
  • Shopwise Alabang's relaunch has a lot of items on sale. If you are from south, you might want to check them out.
  • HMR has a lot of treasures and their items are on discounted price. Again, make sure to stick with your budget or else you don't want to end up broke. 
  • Shopee has ongoing holiday sale. You want to save from shipping cost? Download their app now! Also, you can visit my shop here Sophistique Collection.
  • If you are planning to buy toys for the kids, you can check also Richwell Prime, we usually go here to get the kids' toys at a discount. 
  • If you love shoes, you can buy discounted Converse shoes at their warehouse here.

Myra Ultimate Dietary Supplement Review

Health is wealth. I have said this countless times to my children and everyone else. Now this pandemic reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves more since we are battling a virus. Aside from exercise, healthy food, and vitamins that we take everyday, we also need to take care of our skin. Even though we are at home most of the time, we must not neglect the protective layer of our body. I learned skin care through my mom who was health conscious too. She would take vitamins and supplements of all sorts and strictly follow a skin care routine day and night. She is my biggest influence when it comes to taking care of myself. I learned that in order for us to have a good glowing skin, it should start from within.  I came across Myra a few years back at a drugstore when I started working and began taking their Vitamin E supplement. Now they Myra Ultimate, a new product that I tried and here are my thoughts. One week of taking it, I noticed a significant change in the glow of my...

Purple Fairy Cosmetics Review x Giveaway

If kilay is life, liptint is life also for me. There was a phase in my life where I'd hoard every new lipstick in the market. But suddenly, I grew tired of it. BOO.   When I purchased my first liptint and knew how versatile it was for a busy mom like me, I had already a thing for liptints. In a span of a year, I bought several local and foreign brands and of course there were mixed emotions about it. There is just something about it that tells me still, they do belong to the same mother but unique in every way.  It is about time for me to throw some of it because I have been using it beyond six months already. Do not get me wrong though, I store my liptints in a cold and dry place (refrigerator) that is why, I could still use it beyond it's shelf life. Now it's time to hunt for a new local brand when suddenly I came across the owner of the brand I have been eyeing to try for the longest time.  Anyway, so much for blabbing here and let's get to the review...
