For women
1. Fanny Pack
Suggested item: Flap-top belt bag
Price: PhP870
In the last two years, fanny packs have made a major comeback. The iconic 80s staple is back with a modern twist, as you can see in the flap-top belt bag from Forever 21. The bag is small and can fit necessities such as phones and wallets. It also features a snap-button closure, interior slip pockets, and a belt strap with a square buckle. The bag is available in brown and black.
2. Flattering Top
Suggested item: Cropped wrap top
Price: PhP898
A flattering and
stylish top is always a great gift for your fashionista loved one. They can wear it on multiple occasions, especially during the holidays when people look forward to dressing up in their best outfits. For example,
ForMe’s cropped wrap top comes in a deep yellow color and a silhouette that flatters most body types. Made from a crepe material, the top is versatile for both office outfits and casual OOTDs.
3. Sliders
Suggested item: Velcro sliders
Price: PhP349
For those who prefer comfort over style,
flat footwear like slides are better options. But who says you can’t give the gift of style and comfort this Christmas?
Penshoppe’s trendy velcro sliders come in a cute holographic design. Its soles are also made from 100% rubber and the buckles are detachable with velcro. It can be worn on lazy days and while chilling at home.
4. Shades
Suggested item: Kiko sunglasses
Price: PhP499
Summer might be months away, but shades are still wardrobe staples for true blue fashionistas. Sunnies Studios’ Kiko sunglasses would be appreciated by the girly girls because of its chic and updated version of the classic cat eye frame. It is also made with ultra thin frame so it is not heavy to wear. Kiko’s pretty rosewater mirror would also be a delight for pink lovers.
5. Hair Accessories
Suggested item: Satin headband
Price: PhP445
Hair accessories are often overlooked, but they are very useful for on-the-go women who have no time to fix their hair. Headbands, for instance, are useful for keeping hair away from the face during commutes. A dainty headband like Bershka’s satin headband will add more flair to any hairstyle. With its pretty color and fabric, it also adds femininity to any simple outfit. You can choose from two colors: pink or black.
For men

Women are not the only ones who want to look their best during the holidays. Men would also appreciate a sophisticated clothing piece that they can wear many times like The Ilustrados’ Efren button down polo. The polo has a blue striped print that looks good with plain pants. Made from comfortable linen material, the polo comes in extra small to extra large sizes.

3. Hat
Suggested item: Bucket hat

For the always trendy friend, you can give them something to add more coolness to their wardrobe.
