Christmas season is here! But let’s not kid ourselves—getting presents (tied with the free pass to pig out)—is what we’re most excited about this holiday. Gentle reminder though: It’s the season of giving, not receiving. So before you daydream about your own wishlist, make sure you remember your loved ones’ as well. Personally, while I find shopping for other people fun, I understand all too well how stressful it can be to choose a gift. Giving a present for someone just for the sake of it is one thing, but it’s doubly fulfilling when you know they genuinely love it. Hey, you’ve got no right to be salty once you see your gift goes unused, if you didn’t put effort into it in the first place.
So how do you avoid all that drama and choose the perfect gift? The key is simple: Really know the person you’re giving it to. The next step is of course, to consider where to shop. For this, we recommend you go to a one-stop shop for less hassle. There are plenty of stores across the metro. Robinsons Department Store, in particular, offers items that suit a wide range of personalities, and we’re sure you can find one in there for that lucky someone you’ll share the Christmas JOY with. Choosing a gift given the wide array choices may be intimidating, but don’t worry fam, we’re here to help you do just that. All you have to do is answer the quiz below.
Now that you have decided on a gift, it’s time for our favorite part—shopping!
