practical gifts nowadays, include common items in the house or office...
hindi na uso yung gifts na nakikita sa "gifts corner" sa stores... some of which turn out to be virtual whyte elephants, to be re-cycled or passed on to other un-suspecting gift recipients thru the years...

I feel like for the past 10 years. the cheap wine has replaced the fruit cake

ang dami na naming bottles under the tree.

at least wine has a longer shelf life

still better than those years when everyone was just giving away mugs and tumblers

I normally give chocolates/cookies to my colleagues and neighbors.

I received 3 phone stands last year - I didn't even take them out of their boxes.
5 plants - only 2 are left

I feel na with chocolates and cookies, they can eat it tapos gone from their lives forever.

whyte elephants?
some years back, a popular item was this multi-function kutsara. it was so popular, every other exchange-gift participant got one. but in truth, i never saw anyone actually use it for eating.
ice above, confessed to having received three phone stands that he didn't even take out of the box.
years ago, i got a nightstick-size maglite... it was missing a part, rendering it useless as an illuminating tool..

previous gifts that we gave,
usb-powered electric fans, emergency lights for brownouts, 18650-powered personal electric fans (for Worship Day! heh heh.), plastic face mask cases, plasticware, auto tools, UV sanitizers, LED household bulbs, plumber's friend, bath towels, socks! ...

gifts that we received that seemed strange at first, but proved useful eventually,
faucets, electric massage tools, blenders (housing and whirling blades only! no food container!), small alligator jack, rachet set, laser pointer, ice pick (hey! stainless!), ice trays, kitchen wipe stand/dispenser, nylon rope for sampayan, clothes hamper, a bulb-changer gadget! ... ordinary, everyday items that we would need to buy at one time of another...

Yung electric fan na sinasmpay sa leeg. Dami ko nakikita ganito sa school pag hinahatid ko anak ko.

i have two models of neck fans that blow air upward, to cool the neck and face.
the one with the exposed blades is more effective.
heh heh.

Mga novelty or gift with humor items?

Likr a covid ART kit na nasa case.
Or yung uso dati na stick ng yosi with "Break glass in case of emergency".

I find it funny that most FB friends I have that sells baked items are "on holiday break" during the Christmas season

and the popular ones that are open for business are swamped with orders, thus: "we will not be accepting orders until january..."
heh heh.

I was thinking of giving my BIL Johnny Walker black label. If I remember correctly above 1k sya but less than 2k.

as an aside,
how does one store fruit cakes?
by our experience kasi, storing them in the refrigerator may preserve them against deterioration, but they also get hard and un-fun to eat.

ako kasi I microwave cakes/pastries para lumambot ulit (I think 5-10sec lang depending on the slice)

Balutan muna ng clear plastic bag na food grade, para ma preserve moisture sa loob bago i ref.

Fruitcake and breads ni freezer namin (after ng platic seal). Para tumagal. Lagay lang sa ref or room temp the day before kung kakainin na.

Puwede din i defrost sa microwave at i warm after gaya ng suggestion ni ice15.
