The past year has passed us in a blur, and it’s once again the time of gifts, reunions, Noche Buena , misa de gallo, and Kris Kringle. The last one is an undying office tradition where everyone’s names get put into a bowl, and everyone surprises whoever they pick with items following a given theme.
This would be a breeze if you’re someone who has the natural inkling of knowing precisely what to give a person (or if you’re close to the receiver personally), but what about the majority who don’t? In all of Kris Kringle Ideas , no one wants to be the person who gives a bath towel for the “something soft” category. Fret not because here are some office Kris Kringle ideas in the Philippines and where you can find them to help you veer away from clichéd, uninspired gifts.
1. Something that gives back: Theo & Philo Artisan Chocolates
