‘Tis the season of giving – and giving doesn’t necessarily have to break the bank! Here are ten things you can do to make sure your friends and loved ones know you are thinking of them this holiday season.
Some people say regifting is not a good idea, but it can be! You can give something you own as a gift. What you’re doing is giving something you already have to someone you feel would appreciate it more. Just make sure you share things that are actually in good condition.
Spend some time with your loved ones to make Christmas ornaments and decor by hand! You can use or upcycle old items like bottles and clothes to make them. You’re not just creating special moments with your loved ones, you’re also making memories together.
While it is known to be the season of giving, it is also the season of reminiscing about the joys of the year. Make a Christmas scrapbook or album (printed or digital) and dedicate it to your loved one. You’ll be sharing heartfelt memories you had throughout the year.
In this age, we Filipinos are always picture-ready. Take a holiday family photo and frame it or turn it into a Christmas card to send to your friends and family. You can also pick out a border or sticker on Facebook when you make it your profile picture.
Send love straight to your friends and family’s belly! Santa is not the only one who deserves milk, cookies or treats this Christmas. You can make special snacks or cook breakfast, lunch or dinner for your loved ones.
You can sign yourself and your friends or family up for charity work. Try out volunteer programs that help underprivileged children and give them joy, like My Dream in a Shoebox. You can visit their website to find out how you can help out and make their dreams come true. Not only do you help others but you get to fill your heart with warmth this holiday season.
What better way to feel the holiday spirit than to visit the many bright Christmas light shows and holiday displays around the metro? Visit, enjoy, and take pictures with your family or barkada! It also makes for the perfect IG post to add to your feed.
Yes, kids write their letters to Santa about their Christmas wishes, but you can also take some time to write your friends and loved ones a special letter, each one different from the other. While we are in the digital era, writing individual letters make the receiver feel more special and sentimental.
Draw up a holiday ticket for your loved one and prepare lots of popcorn! You can dedicate a day to binge watch your favorite holiday family movies on TV, Netflix or show off that new Disney+ subscription!
Make your own Spotify playlist and put together songs that make your 2019 holidays feel more complete. You can share this with everyone and play it on Christmas Day while opening your gifts with that warm fuzzy feeling.
Whatever you decide to give, whether it’s on the list or not, make sure it’s from the heart. The effort you put in will be greatly appreciated by the person you’re giving the gift to. So no matter what it is, remember that ultimately, it’s the thought that counts.
