Why the gift of choice is your best bet this Christmas

As we’re hurtling towards Christmas and the New Year, our to-do list has become kilometric, thanks to back-to-back holiday and yearend parties and reunions. Worse, we get caught up in figuring out the best gifts for our loved ones, colleagues, and connections; it would be Valentine’s Day by the time we make the decision.

Good thing there are now SM gift cards that can eliminate one of our worries by giving the recipients the liberty of buying what they want this holiday season.

No more second-guessing what your Gen Z inaanak wants

Gen Z are known for being intentional— placing more importance on things and experiences that are meaningful to them personally. As a godparent, it could be daunting thinking about what to give your Gen Z goddaughter this Christmas. Fortunately, there's an SM Gift Card that can save you from this predicament.

Available in ₱500, ₱1000, and ₱2000 denominations, the SM Gift Card adds a layer of flair to the traditional pamasko without breaking the bank. Trust us, giving Gen Z the choice of how to use the SM Gift Card would make you the cool Tito/Tita and make up for the times when you were N.M.I.A. (Ninong/Ninang Missing In Action).

Something special for family members who have ‘everything’

Buying gifts for our grandparents and favorite older uncles and aunties can be difficult because they don’t always have a specific need or interest. After all, most of them are not into trends or making a fashion statement. What do you give someone who seems to have everything?

Make your favorite family members smile with an SM Gift Pass, which is available in denominations of ₱100 and ₱500. Gift Passes don’t need to be activated and have no expiration date, making them simple and easy to use. It’s one way of saying, “You can have anything your heart desires.”

PRO Tip: Make it a shopping date—the memory will last longer than just the gift.

Level up with corporate yearend giveaways

If you work in HR or own a business, the kind of yearend giveaways you choose often affect the employee’s perception of the company.

One way to make the worker feel special is amping up your rewards at company parties. The SM Gift Pass Choice provides the ultimate corporate rewards and recognition solution. This can be distributed via email or SMS and be personalized for a special touch.

Streamlining gifting is now possible with SM gift cards. Head now to any SM Store branch and purchase an SM Gift Card, an SM Gift Pass, or an SM Gift Pass Choice.
