suggestions for xmas presents

[n2knee]

mga peeps i need your suggestions. ano kaya ang magandang regalo sa mga

uncles (mahigit 40/50 years old)
aunties (same as above)
mgan pinsan (28 - 35 yrs old)
mga kaibigan (25 - 36 yrs old)
mga inaanak (less than two years old karamihan at may isang ten yrs old)

limit is $50 bucks each. gift card sana pero baka sabihin tamad akong maghanap ng regalo. i want them to feel that i put some time and effort into finding their xmas presents. i want to finish my shopping asap, so i can avoid the holiday shopping rush at the malls.

t.i.a. :thumbsup:

$50 limit?...........The old standbys should work: watches, wallets, backpack (regular or laptop), clothes.

Electronic gadgets?....... not much can be had with only $50 except for portable cd players


Toys? Many options. My favorite would be the big (1:18 scale?) Burago diecast model cars.

Women's stuff? I have no clue. Ornamental Japanese/Chinese tea sets, kimono-clad Japanese dolls in glass cases, maybe? Korean mink blankets? Vases?

True... Nice din ang gift checks.

Ilan ba ang iyong tiyo, tiya, pinsan, kaibigan at inaanak?....

Assuming 3 + 4 + 12 + 6 + 10 = 35 * $50 each

$1750 iyan! (P73,500 at exchange rate of $1=P42)

Whew! medyo malaking pera ang involved.....

(Wala pa'ng mga magulang at kapatid mo....). Easily P100K ang pamasko mo lang this year!

thankfully hindi ganyan karami ang nasa listahan ko. i only have two pairs of uncles and aunties; four first cousins, isang nephew, tatlong inaanak, at yung close friends ko na mag asawa at mommy nya. pera na lang ibibigay ko sa parents ko at yung iba kong mga kaibigan hindi kami nagpapalitan ng regalo. salu salu na lang kami sa kainan at xmas cards tama na iyon. madali lang bumili ng para sa bata kaya lang yung pang adult medyo mahirap.

can i ask if it's appropriate to buy perfume as xmas present to a woman friend? relationship is strictly platonic. i don't want to give wrong signals (i'm a married man)

Stuff like perfume and underwear can be a little too personal and should be given with caution, but that's just me.

Bro.,- I am happy for you! I wish you and your loved ones a grand time this coming Christmas Holidays!

For as long as you're close enough with your lady-friend, IMO, I do not see anything wrong with it. Hey,- it's Christmas!(and it only happens once a year!)

And, the more you can make a person happy, the better. (Sa akin nga, ang last 2 perfumes ko, hindi bigay ni Kumander,- bigay ng aking/aming kaibigan na dalaga).

pinot noir wine for aunties and uncles
lacoste shirts for cousins
ralph laurens for friends
educational / battery operated toys and books for inaanaks
instead of perfume might as well opt for make ups or sets of beauty health product like clinique.
