GIFT IDEAS FOR FILIPINO TRAVELERS

Happy holidays! It seems like everyone is on the holiday rush. We are in the busiest time of the year-- malls are always packed and queues in the counters are very long. Us Filipinos, we show our love and appreciation through gift-giving. It also says, 'I remembered you this Christmas and I wish you and your family a happy holiday.' This gift-giving developed as our Christmas tradition.

We still have a couple of days before Christmas, so don't you fret! This post is for anyone who loves to travel, whether it's for your parents, girlfriend or even for yourself, here are some ideas to make that wanderlust-filled loved one be excited about your gift. Trust me, you can't go wrong with any of these!

1. WTN Planner 2020: Coming Home by Where To Next

Where To Next is a community showcasing beautiful photos, each sharing a story behind it. According to the founders, Ayen dela Torre and Rachel Halili, "Travel for us is no longer the desired end. It is just the means for us to connect, to create, and change people through our art. It serves as a reminder that our life is in a constant motion, some things will happen to us regardless of what we do, but for the things we have control over, we have to grab it by the reins and evolve with it. We hope that in our little ways, through our products and events, we can help you realize that too."

Their travel planner, WTN Planner 2020: Coming Home, is a carefully crafted planner perfect for any traveler. Inside is a 2020 & 2021 calendar, dateless monthly & weekly pages, bucketlist for the Philippines and world, packing list, world map and so much more! Did you know that for every planner purchased, 5% of the profit will go to the Aeta communities in Yangil & Botolan, Zambales. Learn more about their stories and planners here.

We love all things personalized, unique and we can call out 'this is so me!'. Another must-have for your beach OOTD is a swimsuit that flawlessly feature your beautiful body!

Hodgepodgemnl started with the struggle of finding a swimsuit that fits since S, M, L, don’t really fit perfectly for everyone. Their brand has been empowering women in all shapes and sizes. This way, everyone can feel confidently beautiful in a swimsuit. All their designs are custom made. Designs either depends on what the client wants, or follows the current trends, like the tube top high waist swimsuit.
