Share
Adulting can make you realize many things, including how some Christmas gifts that didn’t spark your interest when you were younger *actually* deserve so much appreciation. From wallets to body care essentials, practical gifts that can help you survive stressful times as a grownup begin to hold so much value and spark your joy—because hey, that’s one valuable thing for everyday life that you won’t need to allot a budget for a while.
If you need a great Christmas gift for someone who is currently adulting, check out our recommendations below. And a bonus treat, these holiday finds are all under P1,000!
Humidifier for self-care at home
Adulting somehow unlocks people’s affinity for all things home and living, especially knickknacks that add comfort to personal spaces like fresh pillows, scented candles, and humidifiers. Aside from bringing fresh air for a relaxing atmosphere, humidifiers also have many health benefits which make them an excellent pick for a Christmas gift.
This home device adds moisture to the air to prevent your skin, nose, throat, and other body parts from drying out and getting irritated. It can also ease symptoms of common sicknesses like allergies, flu, or colds—which is perfect for working adults with few sick leaves left. Hurry and get this humidifier from Surplus Shop in SM City Batangas at a markdown price for under P1,000 until January 8!
Insulated water bottle for your daily drinks
As a kid, you probably weren’t too thrilled to receive tumblers as an exchange gift during Christmas parties. But upon growing up, you see the value in practical and for-daily-use gifts like these. Bonus points if it’s an Aquaflask insulated drinking water bottle, which has a sleek design and can keep your hot drinks warm for up to 12 hours and iced drinks cold for up to 24 hours. Since this popular stainless steel double-wall insulated tumbler is reusable, you can also refill your drink as many times as you want without hurting the environment. What a responsible thing to do as an adult, isn’t it?
Enjoy 75% Off on the Aquaflask (32oz40oz) Wide Mouth with Cap Lid Vacuum Insulated Drinking Water Bottle Aqua Flask, which you can now get for only P750. Score this promo only at AquaFlask in SM Center Pulilan and SM City Baliwag until January 31.

Gentle cleansers for soft and smooth skin
Remember when your titas’ Christmas gifts would always be toiletry sets in fancy boxes and wrappings? Adulting surely helped you realize that getting everyday essentials like body washes and cleansers for free during the holidays means you can enjoy a bit of extra savings on your next grocery trip. That’s why you shouldn’t think twice about getting practical gifts like Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser for your fellow adults—trust us, they’d thank you when they realize they can use the budget they originally allotted for toiletries to other nice treats for themselves instead.
Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser helps keep the skin soft and smooth while cleaning it and removing residue that can clog pores. Its mild and non-irritating formula is also designed for all skin types, and even babies with ultra-delicate skin would love this gentle cleanser. For less than P1,000, you can buy two Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 250ml bottles and get another one for free at Watsons SM City East Ortigas until January 31.
A stylish wallet that fits everything you need
At this age, you probably have credit cards, small IDs, and loyalty or membership cards that fill your wallet alongside a handful of cash. To avoid misplacing any of these important items, it’s more convenient to have a wallet that can hold all of them in one place. However, you don’t need to sacrifice style just to keep your cards and cash organized. A perfect gift for fashionable but practical adults, CLN’s Zelly Wallet has a debossed monogram pattern that gives a sleek design to its sturdy leather build.
This bi-fold mini wallet has a zipped coin compartment for all your loose change and a spacious bill compartment for your cash. It also has multiple card slots that can fit up to seven cards or IDs and slip pockets where you can stash receipts and parking tickets on your next day out.

Get the Zelly Wallet for P799 at all SM branches of CLN until December 31.
