Bea looked back on the first item she bought from Lazada. It was a makeshift tent, “where I could change clothes whenever I’m taping,” said she. “Minsan kasi there are locations na walang changing room talaga na maayos. That’s the first thing I bought from Lazada and it came on time. You can just fold it and put it in your bag.”

Aside from the makeshift tent, Bea has added to cart items that range from camera and painting stuff, kitchen ware, fashion items to gadgets. She will definitely add tin ware and table ware on her shopping list this Christmas “because I’ll be entertaining a lot of people at home and I’ll be cooking a lot as well. So siguro yun din ang ibibigay ko kay mama.”

Bea added that “I think even when we’re saving, we shouldn’t lose the spirit of giving this Holiday season.” There are ways that Filipinos can still give their family and friends presents and value their hard-earned money. They can avail deals and exclusive offers from platforms like Lazada. “You can still shop, but be smart about it,” said she. “When we add to cart something, we have time to think about it.”
