Shopping
We can't help rushing during the holidays. And because of that, quick gift ideas are a must. Ive compiled a few things that could be great gift ideas for those on a budget or avoiding the Xmas rush crowd. If you are late, these are great ideas for the yuletide holidays.

Here's a few worth mentioning:
The Cafe: Everyone has enjoyed the blends of big name cafes such as Starbucks, Seattle's Best, etc. Ever notice the huge cupboard where they stamp their name on various things like cups and tumblers? Almost everyone can appreciate a tumbler with a Starbucks logo on it! The great thing about what cafe's can offer is that there's enough variation for everyone! So grab one now!
Price range should be about 300-1K
The awesome head massager: These are as useful as paperclips are to paper. Such simplicity is a great gift idea for everyone, especially those on a budget. Once I used this, it became a guilty pleasure that I'm sure will be the same case to whomever you give it to!

Where to find it? Practically any tiangge that litters the metro. Grab one now and make someone's scalp happy!
Expect this to be about 100 pesos or less.
The Amazing Slingshot Helicopter: Avoid those remote controlled ones from Toy Kingdom. Ever been to the corner of Shangri-la Mall facing EDSA and seeing these men shoot lighted contraptions which then float back to the thrower? The person who created this is a genius. Why? It's cheap, it can be played by young kids when they get together, and it makes them go out rather than sit all day playing video games. Even better, adults can also enjoy it.

Costs about 20 pesos from street vendors, but is much cheaper in market hot spots like Tutuban and Divisoria.
Dr. Dre Beats Tour OEM's : This is a tricky one. At P1,600 pesos per unit, you may say these are expensive for one item. However, if you consider that the original costs about 4k up, it's not so bad. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer which is next to none compared to original quality.
Actually this one is not considered a last minute shopping option but it is still a great idea for a gift!
The Cashier aisle at True Value: While most people rush to Department Stores, why not head to True Value. There's an aisle next to the cashier's counter where they sell a lot of interesting gift ideas. The options are plenty and the items unique. There are cool things like Glow-in-the-dark or Metallic playing cards, pocket sized LED Torch, and more!
So what are you waiting for? Get great gifts for your loved ones before Christmas arrives!
