Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

Contributed by Tina Relampagos

 

We are literally hours away from Christmas! By this time, you’re both excited and worried. Excited about your family get-togethers, but worried because you’re not yet done with your Christmas shopping. What makes this part extra difficult is that you’ve already run out of ideas, and obviously, you’re running out of time. Well, here are our blogger friends to the rescue! We asked them what Gifted.ph gift card they want to receive this Christmas and here’s what they have to say.
