It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The festive spirit’s fully taking over with bright decorations everywhere. For most people, it’s the season of togetherness and
celebration, with many wanting to make the most of the holidays. They might have
already prepared their presents as early as September, but most people would do it at
the eleventh hour when the most-wanted items go on sale. The last-minute shopping
frenzy adds to the excitement of the holidays, and the heartfelt preparations outweigh
whatever hiccups that can happen during the season.
If you’re like most people still preparing their gift list, then you’re in luck: we’ve come up
with some suggestions on what to give this Christmas for your special someone.
Because the more, the merrier, right?

For the Passionate Ones Who Feel the Beat Within
We have kids attending dance or voice classes after school, and even adults who want
a healthier and more active lifestyle. They get in the zone where their heart beats loudly.
For these go-getters, they need something that fuels their creativity for long hours.
That’s why oftentimes you’ll see people wearing headphones or earphones to listen to
their favorite music or to simply find inspiration in podcasts. This gadget will be a perfect
item as these individuals take on the world.
Our recommendation: The 1000XM5 headphones and earbuds will do just the trick,
offering top-tier sound and comfort at the same time. These industry-leading
noise-canceling headphones from Sony also have adaptive sound control. With up to 24
hours of battery life for their earbuds and 30 for their headphones, productivity is
guaranteed. Now at Php 17,999 and Php 15,999 for a limited time, grabbing these as
gifts has never been easier!
Want more options? Check this out: the WF-C510 earbuds with a compact build for
all-day sound. It’s currently listed at Php 3,299 for the delightful December season.

One for All, All for One: The ULTimate Year-End Gift
We all look forward to holiday parties, because you know how parties are in the
Philippines – it’s just more fun! Sooner than you know it, slots for work meetings get
replaced with party reservations on your calendar. Isn’t it the best feeling? These parties
are a time for stories and laughter. No matter the situation, a powerful speaker runs in
the background, becoming your ultimate party essential.
Our recommendation: There are a bunch of speakers available that also have lights
for your party needs. What they don’t have, however, is a dedicated wireless
microphone. The ULT Tower 10 is a complete package for a unique Filipino party. It can
serve as a makeshift amplifier for your guitar, with even user-friendly speaker controls.
Equipped with wheels for better mobility, it’s definitely a must-have for every occasion.
Too on the nose? Don’t worry – they have the compact wireless ULT Field 1 speaker
that performs just as well, so make sure to visit Sony and other authorized dealers in
time for their holiday promos.

An Eye-catching Treat For Moms (and even Dads)
‘Tis the season to slow down from the busy world and (finally) spend time with folks at
home. While most of us are wrapped up with work or school, our moms face their
challenges at home with things we often miss – from caring for the family to managing
the household. As a small yet rewarding treat, they catch up on watching their favorite
shows or movies. Even dads like to sit back and share a laugh at comedy shows. At an
age where screens come in all shapes and sizes, TVs remain a staple item at home; it
is a symbol of togetherness and relaxation for the family. And for the holidays, we can
make gatherings more meaningful and cozy with a multi-functional TV.
Our recommendation: opt for Smart Mini LED or OLED TVs, like the Sony BRAVIA 7
Mini LED TV and BRAVIA 8 OLED TV. These two technologies provide the best
solutions. The 7 Mini LED TV’s brightness is unmatched, while there’s that crisp balance
when watching movies as the OLED 8 gives you closer to real blacks. The BRAVIA 7
offers more size options with a starting net price of Php 156,999. Meanwhile, BRAVIA
8’s quality and sleek design push the best cinematic experience, beginning at Php
131,299. Both big screens give a fantastic look either way and will be on sale in time for
Christmas.
A bonus: Complete your home entertainment set-up with the BRAVIA Theatre Quad for
Php 144,449.

And Snap! Take a Shot of Life’s Priceless Moments
There’s something so beautiful and magical about Christmas that makes your
surroundings pleasantly warm. The experience comes in different forms for all of us, but
one thing is certain: we’d want to immortalize these moments as they come. From
champagne toasting shared with loved ones to singing songs as a chorus, we get the
urge to take a snap of these scenes now more than ever before.
While capturing memories has become more convenient now thanks to smartphones, a
camera offers better quality for intricate moments. What’s exciting about gifting cameras
is that we get to see how others treasure the moments from their perspective. Its
emotions remain raw, yet powerful in every snap.
Our recommendation: You might consider gifting a camera that is as versatile as its
future owner, so the Sony A7C II mirrorless camera is an ideal gift that delivers photos
of professional quality. It can also record 4K videos without the heavy weight of a
professional camera that confuses novice camera users. This can be paired perfectly
with the FE 16-25mm F2.8 G and FE 24-50mm F2.8 G lenses. The latest ZV E10 II
vlogging camera is also a good alternative with its flip-out screen that can adjust to
portrait and landscape recordings. It’s a good tool for folks who enjoy content creation
on social media like TikTok and Instagram.

Bonus gear recommendations: Consider gifting a gear boost with an ECM-M1
Shotgun Microphone or an ECM-S1 Streaming Microphone, which is fit for closed
spaces like singing or content shooting.

With all these recommendations, bear in mind that finding the perfect gift is all about
matching thoughtfulness with usefulness. Some of these gadgets may lean more on
style or functionality, but they’re gifts to brighten the season nonetheless. So for this
Christmas, we hope you rekindle the joy and spirit of giving priceless items. At the end
of the day, the best gifts come with love and sincerity – making this season truly
memorable.
