By Caidiva @caidiva

Sorry loves for the uber late post, I've been really busy! I know this post is kinda late, but I know a lot of people who are not still done yet with their Christmas gift shopping so guys, this post is dedicated to you! Hahaha!

Anyway, this is an awesome list and whether you're done shopping or not, this is worth looking into as you'd find it useful even for other occasions.

The following products/items are on my list for 3 things:

1. I personally LIKE the product.

2. I'm very sure people would be happy to receive them as they're something that I'd want to buy or receive myself. And lastly,

3. They're either useful or super yummy!

So here goes:

1. Vanilla Body Care and Vanilla Bears from A Vanilla Story

I'm super in love with this brand, from their organic vanilla body care line (which I use on Rafa all the time) to their vanilla scented knitted bears (sooo adorable!) and their super lovely packaging...love love love it!

By the way, A Vanilla Story is the sister company of Manila's supplier of world-class vanilla extract, pastes and beans known as The Vanilla Co.

This is my currently my favorite lippie brand. They're very easy to apply and the colors are all very pretty and impressively pigmented too! It's a must-have for kikay girls!

We've been buying Alice Blue candles for years now. It was our mom who discovered it and we all liked how nice it smells - it has a pretty good throw and it burns for hours. Candles always make good gifts!

Chef or not, everyone would be happy to get this chef's board as it can be used for not only for food preps but for styling as well! It could actually double as a nice perfume tray on your dresser table! ;)

I super love Mommy Patch baby products! I'm a fan of their rice baby powder and massage oil and have been using them since Rafa was still a baby. You can never go wrong with their products, they're perfect gifts for inaanaks (godchildren)!

10. Alunsina Handbound Journals

There's just something special in a personalized, leather, hand-bound book that you'd still choose it over the convenience of a digital app with matching emoticons and endless choices of fonts. It could be the scent or maybe the feel of the leather that makes it fulfilling for one to fill all its pages with doodles, lists notes, favorite inspirational quotes and Bible verses...

I'm a fan of their soaps, very moisturizing and the scent stays on the skin for a long time!

12. Pan de Manila Instant Coffee/Tsokolate

We loooove Pan de Manila. we're super suki! We love the pandesal and their 3-in-1 beverages especially the Cafe con Leche. Their instant coffees/chocolates are nicely packaged in tin cans - so sosy looking!

13. Beurre & Sel's Truffled Mushroom Dip

Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present to you my new business venture - Beurre & Sel. This is one of the reasons why I'm lagging behind in blogging, sorry!

Anyway, one of our bestsellers is the Truffled Mushroom Spread and for a reason - it's super yummy and highly addictive, which, makes it an awesome Christmas giveaway and hostess gifts for the parties you'll be attending!
