Choosing a Gift for My Manito
Hello dear hive friends!
Last Sunday I was wandering around a store called Mr. DIY. What's inside the store are just about anything except grocery items. What brought me to the store was to look for a gift for my manito. But I was not able to decide which would be the best gift for him that would cost at least 300 Php.
Christmas is fast approaching and we are getting ready for our Christmas party in the workplace. And we all know how Christmas party goes. It won't be complete without the exchanging of gifts. It's one of the highlights of the celebration as we believe Christmas is about sharing and giving.
Last week I picked the name of my manito or the person who will receive a gift from me. To keep the element of surprise, we are not allowed to reveal who is our manito.
Although this kind gift giving is something that I should not trouble myself so much since I can just pick any item to give, but maybe it's my personality that when giving gift I want it to be something well thought of no matter how simple or cheap it is.
I want to give something that will truly put a smile on the face of the receiver. I also want it to be something useful so that it won't end up somewhere along the corners of a cabinet and will be forgotten for years.
Can you help me decide or choose which one? Which kind of stuff will make you happy if you receive it?
Should I go for...
Kitchen Wares
This frying pan looks pretty decent. It not very expensive too. I don't own a frying pan at home. I use a wok for everyday cooking, for all occassion and for any dish. Do people usually use multiple cooking wares or will this end up just hanging there in the kitchen coz it's too pretty to get dirty? 😅
How about this colorful tumblers? This must remind someone to drink plenty of water which is good for the health.
Home Decors
I found this fruit containers with artistic designs. This will be nice if the person loves fruits. But any items can be placed in it. It depends on the person how he will use it though.
I really like the native fruit containers.
Carpets must take us to a whole new world. Lol! I love carpets too, they make great decor in the sala. It seem to put together in unity the furnitures in the room.
Found this wall clock. This will remind us how pecious time is. Clocks may not be as useful now in tracking time but it will make an aesthetic wall decor other than painting and picture on the wall.
Something to Cuddle
There are times when we need someone to hug or cuddle after a frustrating day. But when there's nobody to do it then some soft stuffed toy will provide us little comfort, right? Would you love to have it or would you still choose him? 😅
How about a comfortable sleep with this soft and so comfy pillows? I would trade an an hour for a wonderful sleep.
Devices
Everything'ss getting smaller nowadays including the value of crypto. 😅 Found this cute fan and lampshade. Love how lightweight and portable this things are. One can carry it at home or during travel or just about anywhere.
This dual purpose racket is lit. As you practice your hand grips and racket skills, you also put away those annoying mosquitoes, flies and other flying insects. Isn't that cool?
These are my choices. Sometimes it's hard to come up to a final choice when there are so many to choose from. They all look nice and useful. Anyhow, I am up for more suggestions.
Thank you for bearing with and me and for reading this far. I will be giving away two hives for a lucky commenter which I will be choosing through drawing by lot for this post for helping me decide and for not judging my indecisiveness. Lol 😅. I guess we can be indecisive at times when we know being one isn't lethal. I can be indecisive but it depends on the situation. When my life is on the line, I am as decisive as ever.
Happy holidays. Enjoy he rest of the year everyone.
This store seems like heaven cause I personally love diy stuff also it's like a dollar store bunch of cool things for cheap 😍❤️
Hello biya! Yeah too many cool stuff that is why itvgets harder to choose. 😁😁. Thank you for dropping by.
Mr. DIY has been our go-to place as well! There's a ton of stuff that can be bought all around! For your question, a frying pan will be a nice gift if your manito loves to cook those non-stick pans should be changed always as the coating peels off from multiple usages. In our home, we decided to use only those wares for 6 months and after that, we dispose of them. Tumblers are overrated, carpet hmmm not a fan of them. The racket for mosquitoes is handy if their place is infested by mosquitoes. But if you want the safest gift the small device will be the best pick! A lampshade or probably a power bank will be sufficient.
That's all that I can think of haha.
Hello tp. You're back! Heheh. Thanks for the tips. Really helpful. Ekis na ung tumbler. Maybe I'll go with the pan 👍👍👍...
Most of the time we go to Mr. DIY to shop some kitchen utensils, my daughter's toys etc.
I'm like shopping as well upon reading your blog. Hehe
It's a new store here in the neigboring town. With so much to choose, made me confused what I should buy. Thank missleray.
You're welcome.☺️
Something to cuddle, very true base on experience. I like cuddles and so even by now typing this comment, I lay my left leg on my teddy bear hehe
That must felt good. Thank you faith for the suggestion.
Oh all of those you listed is a great thing to receive for me. But if you will allow me to choose from them, I will choose those pillows. They looks so comfortable. Hopefully your manito will be satisfied and grateful for your gift.
Sayang di talaga ako makakajoin sa mga palaro ni hiveph.
I love soft pillows too... I'd be happy to receive one also. Hopefully he will be hapoy 🙏🙏... It's the ultinate goal of gift giving. Making someone happy. Thank you jen.
I actually didn't know the Mr. DIY shop at all. But one thing I am sure of is if you'll give a gift to a man. Make sure it is something he can use every day because we tend to cherish and use it until it's no longer useful. Hmm, just give him a wallet. Boys rarely change a wallet unless it's heavily damaged.
!PIZZA
It's a new store in our neighbor town also. Wallet? I'll think about it. I think it's beyond my budget but that would be nice to give to someone more special hehe. Thanks den. Have a great day.
I gifted $PIZZA slices here:

We are on the same boat sis. We are about to celebrate our Christmas party tomorrow . And I am also thinking about what to buy for my manita. Well, for me, I'll go for the tumbler sis. Hehehe .. Stay safe and God bless.
That's nice choice too sis. Hehe. Christnas spirit is really in the air. Christmas parties everywhere. Glad we have a beautiful weather so far.
Yeah, thanks God above all. God bless
Sa side ko din, kapag talaga lalaki talaga nabubunot ko nahihirapan din ako kung ano ibibigay ko ayy. But mostly, mugs talaga yung naibibigay ko kapag ganito. Hihi
Anyways, ang daming items na pwedeng pagpilian, ang hirap nga lang mamili ano? Lahat kasi magaganda at for affordable din.
Sarap magshopping diyan kaso wala pang budget for that.😅
Hirap talaga sis kahit pwede naman pili agad di na pahirapan sarili 😆😆. Peeo syempre iniisip kasi ang feeling ng tatanggap kaya mahirap hehehe
Hahaha.. Sabagay may point ka naman diyan sis. Nawa'y magustuhan naman niya sana yung ibibigay mo sa kaniya.
Dli ko hilig magluto pero kung moanha kog mall moanha gyud kos kitchen wares section
Hehhe murag nindot ning kitchen ware kay hilig baja mangaon.
Kalisud jud if laki imung mabunot ren ba. Unlike of girl, bisan unsa lang nga burluloy, solve na haha. Pero kana kay monito man, murag nice ang 'something to cuddle' kay December is always a bed weather sa katugnaw haha...
Lingaw jus kaayo mag window shopping ba, mas lingaw kung tinuod nga shopping hehe 😊
Lisud btaw ug laki. Hehe... Di ta khibaw sa ilang preference. Hmm something or someone to cuddke 😆
