(SPOT.ph) It is officially the season of Christmas...gift shopping, that is; at least for those of us who prefer not to cram all our purchases into the week before the big day. With quarantine protocols still in full swing all over the country, planning what presents to buy may be a task that takes a little more time this year considering the delivery delays, curfew hours, and social distancing protocols slowing down the process, so we suggest you start ASAP.
At the very least, list down all the things you plan on buying. To help you out, we round up some simple gifts under P1,000 you can shop for your friends and family, depending on what their interests are. Whether your loved ones are tech nerds, plant parents, bibliophiles, or what have you, you’re sure to find something worth considering.
