Customized Gifts Philippines: Ideas for the Christmas Season

As part of my yearly tradition of supporting local brands during the Christmas season, I’ve decided to write another article on some gift ideas you might want to consider! These are practical gift ideas for family and friends that are both unique and affordable. What makes them unique is the fact that they’re customized gifts! So if you’re looking for customized gifts in the Philippines, keep reading.

Personalized Stationery and Cards

First on the list is Papel at Al. They’re actually my sticker supplier for Greta’s Junk Shop and Mama Jessie’s Kesong Puti. This year, I decided to order adorable custom note cards for my siblings and cousins after seeing the designs they posted on Instagram. Aside from Christmas gifts, I ordered our family’s Christmas gift cards as well. Their designs are so beautiful and timeless. I actually had a hard time choosing because of the many pretty options!

Custom Home and Personal Care

Up next is SamTing Personalized—a local brand I discovered through my cousin. When we moved into our house early this year, she gifted us with custom hand soap bottles for all our bathrooms. I loved the idea so much that I decided to order custom hand soap bottles for our married friends. It included their 500ml amber glass hand soap bottle, peppermint soap, and personalized stickers—all wrapped in beautiful buri packaging. I didn’t have to worry about gift wrapping anymore!

Handcrafted Leather Goods

The third on the list is Habi MNL, which focuses on affordable handcrafted leather goods. They make personalized cable organizers, key holders, bag tags, purses, cardholders, and more. I love how responsive they are on Facebook, and they always kept me updated with the status of my orders. Another option for leather goods is Astrid Leather. They make sophisticated handcrafted leather in the Philippines—from keychains and wallets to passport holders and mouse pads. The quality of their leather is superb. I bought from them a few years ago to give to male family members, and they still use my gift to this day!

Custom Jewelry and Glassware

Istorya Creations is a brand that goes way back. For Christmas one year, I ordered custom necklaces to give to my close friends. During our wedding, my husband and I ordered custom jewelry from them to give to our entourage. Last but not least is Myriad Print Concepts—another brand I’ve supported since 2014 or 2015. They were also one of our wedding suppliers—we ordered custom wine and whiskey glasses from them to give to our entourage!

Exquisite Gift Hamper Options

If you are looking for food gifts, the Exquisite Gift Hamper is a culinary dream come true. From the rich and aromatic Doña Elena Olive Oil to the hearty Ram Pork & Beans, it's a feast of flavors that will transport your taste buds to food heaven. Every item in the Exquisite Gift Hamper was fresh and tasty.

I hope my list helps you out if you’re still looking for unique gift ideas this Christmas. Happy Christmas Shopping!
