Whether you are getting a gift for your secret Santa or family, get something that will make them feel appreciated. Here are some tips to choose the perfect holiday gift to create meaningful #ChristmaSMoments:
Make a gift guide.
A list of names and gift suggestions makes shopping a lot easier. Put a lot of thought into what you are giving whom to come up with the perfect idea!
Plan your shopping trip.
Decide on what stores to visit. Save yourself a lot of time and effort by to shopping in places with a wide selection of merchandise like SM Supermalls.
Keep an eye out.
Look through the prospective recipients’ social media accounts and pay attention to their posts. They might be dropping hints about what they want for Christmas. Scroll through and you will likely find at least one that says “NEED.”
Be creative.
Before buying a present, think hard if he/she will appreciate the gift. Whether grand or simple, what matters is that you put a lot of love and effort into your gift. Remember that gift-giving is about sharing a little piece of yourself with others.
Have fun.

So you’ve got your festive outfit set and the fancy gift wrapped for your “monito” or “monita”. All that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle.
The fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition, likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile.
Adding damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the natural oil and luster of your mane.
Because you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you go. Be careful of what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your ‘do.
Even stress can wear off the beauty and health of the tress. And that’s exactly what you should avoid this Yuletide season. Never put pressure on yourself just to please everyone. Just take it easy, let your hair down and party all night long.

Philippine coffee (locally sourced coffee) can compete with coffees from other parts of the world … this is something that most people do not seem to be aware of. Most filipinos are aware of the barako coffee from Batangas, known for its kick and flavorful aroma. A few are familiar with the Bukidnon coffee grown by the trancendental monks.
And then there is Bo’s Coffee — a staunch supporter of homegrown coffee, this Christmas they are promoting the coffee of Benguet.
Christmas Treat at Bo’s Coffee
This Christmas season try out the Christmas offering of Bo’s Coffee.
The Benguet Minty Cold White Brew and the Queso de Bola cheesecake are the perfect pairing.

The Christmas Beverage
Given a choice between hot or cold brewed coffee I often opt for the cold brew. My reason? I’ve burned my tongue more times than I can count when drinking freshly brewed hot coffee. 😀 I guess it is safe to say I’m not very patient, hehehe.
This made Bo’s Coffees Benguet Minty Cold White Brew the perfect drink for me. Benguet coffee is not very acidic and the sprig of mint made this iced beverage extra refreshing.
Iced coffees are often sickly sweet. In contrast, the Benguet Minty Cold Brew’s sweetness level was right on the money. As my cousin, Teddy Boy would have said when he was a kid … not to sweet, not too bitter, just right on the groove.
The Christmas Cake
The Queso de Bola Cheesecake
To the Filipino family Christmas = queso de bola. And most Christmas celebrations come with cheesecake. Therefore, it makes so much sense to make a cheesecake made with Queso de bola.
Queso de bola is a sharp, hard cheese, wrapped in red wax often served with ham at noche buena and other Christmas parties. Made into a cheesecake, this luscious dessert is tart and sweet at the same time.
In my personal opinion, the Queso de Bola Cheesecake could even be too sweet which is why it pairs up perfectly with the Benguet Minty Cold White Brew. Try it yourself and let me know what you think.
Introducing: The Bo’s Coffee Starter Kit

clear glass cup wrapped in a cosy
V60 dripper
paper filters
booklet with recipes inside

Download the Bo’s Coffe app on the Appstore and Google Play.
The Bo’s Coffee app can be downloaded from both the appstore and on Google Play.
The app is akin to a stamp card or sticker book. With every visit where we purchase food or a drink worth P250 we show the app to the barista and they “shoot” the barcode to register the sale. Each registered sale is equivalent to one voucher used plus points!
On our 10th voucher we get a free Bo’s Coffee cup. On the 15th voucher we can get the Starter Kit … for free! Yey! Yes, I said free!
The stamp card concept is not new. Many establishments do this … from sandwiches, donuts, chinese restaurants … it is their way of tracking loyal customers.
Whether you are a loyal customer or just trying it out, make your way to Bo’s Coffee this holiday season and try out their holiday offerings.
