For the Hallyu addict

This one’s for the K-drama or K-pop addict who wishes to see their favorite oppa or bias in real life – it’s a fun gift that they wouldn’t be able to resist! While your friend dreams of meeting their idol someday, you can make this come true with a human doll pillow. Photo Fusion’s 19-inch human doll pillows come with a pre-designed body; all you have to do is send your fave’s photo and they’ll edit it for you. Made of polyester, this pillow is super fluffy and soft, which is the perfect cuddle buddy when binge-watching shows and fan-cams.

They’re all kept in a gorgeous box designed with photos taken in these locations!

For the plant parent

Help make your friend’s plant babies thrive by giving them food!  MNL Grow Kits’ DURABLOOM Bio-Organic Fertilizer is ideal for almost all plants. It’s made with 100% processed chicken manure with selected fungal cultures and enzymes, which makes it a microorganism-rich organic fertilizer. DURABLOOM comes in three variants: Pelleted Fertilizer, Liquid Foliar Fertilizer, and Organic Fertilizer Powder.

A box costs Php 50; perfect for giving to a lot of friends! You can order it here.

For the friend who needs to de-stress

Long days in work or school are bound to give stressful days and one way to alleviate it is through aromatherapy. Cosmic Candles’ zodiac-inspired soy candles aren’t just soothing. Each can is crafted according to the receiver’s zodiac sign, topped with gorgeous dried flowers, fruits, and ornaments. Instead of writing the zodiac sign, you can also have it replaced with your friend’s name, which adds a more personalized feel to it. Plus points if your friend is a fan of astrology too!

You can order it for Php 450 each here.
