What made Mom Violy step out of her comfort zone and try Las Flores for lunch?

Thinking Ahead it is Christmas in September



It’s Christmas in September!

We are staying home the only thing that comes in mind is the Christmas Holiday that is coming as we start preparing ahead to think what we can give to our family and friends we start listing down a list of items that we can start buying for them online.

Everyone wants to feel they have accomplished something ahead of time and I am one of the type of person who things ahead. I had started ordering Christmas wrapper online because if you buy months ahead of the Christmas holiday you can buy it in an inexpensive price.

Buying items by the dozen you save your cost when you live in the Philippines you will realize everyone wants the same item you plan to give a family member there is no more complaining because everyone has the same item.

I live in a household where everyone wants the same item given to each family member I always give something that is both for unisex this way no one complains why their gift is better than the others and everyone becomes unified from kids, teens and adults just each color of the item is different based on their favorite color.

The best gift is giving something that is practical and can be used by its purpose for example these are the following gifts I have given in the past to give you an example of what I am trying to refer.

  1. Water resistance laundry bag with drawstring that can be used at home or when traveling
  2. Make up organizer that is water resistance with drawstring
  3. Gadget pouch organizer with zipper
  4. Bag organizer or luggage organizer
  5. Water resistance foldable mat to use when you have a picnic
  6. Mesh caddy organizer
  7. Pencil rolled up organizer 
  8. Car side pocket organizer
  9. Pajama top and bottom set 
  10. Printed sando with matching shorts (kids)
There are so many type of gifts to give as a Christmas gifts and to be creative sometimes I even make a basket of different type of Korean snacks for those who have everything and seem difficult to buy for it seems easier this way who knows they never knew those snacks actually existed.
