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.

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.

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 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.

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.😅
