1. For the Nature Lover

We all need a touch of green in the office. Terrariums make perfect Christmas gifts. They are mini self-sustained gardens filled with tiny plants, and thrive with little water in small spaces.  

Not only are they a great oxygen booster, terrariums are easy to create and can be made in a variety of sizes. You can either pick a ready-made terrarium at a store or add a personal touch by customising one from scratch using bell-shaped jars here. Terrariums have gained popularity lately, so an assortment of containers is readily available–search nurseries, garden centers, craft stores etc. Here’s where you can buy your own succulents.

2. For the Foodie

Everyone has that friend who loves to cook. They are the Monica, the Barefoot Contessa, or the Martha Stewart of the group, who live for creating meal-time masterpieces.

You do not want to get them something they already have in the kitchen, rather pick out a gift that is useful, but something they will most probably will not buy for themselves. A Thermos® Food Jar, is vacuum insulated which helps keep food fresh for at least  six hours. They can now eat and drink what they create at home in the office or wherever they are.

3. For the Writer

Writers are a unique breed with very specific interests and passions. A notebook such as a classic Moleskine might seem like an obvious gift that most people overlook when thinking of a perfect gift for their writer friends, so add a personal touch by writing a few sweet words written on the inside.

4. For the Coffee Lovers

Drawing a blank for what to get a coffee lover? Coffee is not just a drink to them, it is more like liquid gold that helps them function and get through the day. 

A travel mug is a must-have for any and all coffee lovers. To keep coffee fresh and hot, we recommend the sleek and functional Thermos® Tumbler or Mug, which is created with vacuum insulation technology that prolongs temperature retention for at least six hours.  

5. For the Reminiscent

When someone already has everything, look to memories. In lieu of a framed photo, select a handful of photos and print a little book of your favourite Instagram memories detailing your friendship on a site like Photobook Philippines.

Make it special by having other friends write their favorite memory of the recipient on a small piece of paper, and include it into the photo book. When your gift recipient feels like reminiscing or needs a pick-me-up, they can refer to the photo book with funny stories, and other recounts of how they affected everyone’s life for the better. After all, memories are all we have in the end.
