There’s a Xiaomi online budol for these 5 types of Christmas gifters
MANILA, Philippines — In our second year of celebrating Christmas amid a pandemic, there’s one thing that we’ve all proven as Filipinos: we find joy and meaning in giving no matter the situation.
It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture or an expensive gift as long as we are able to show our loved ones, friends and family—not to mention inaanaks—that we remember and care. No doubt budgets have tightened but we still manage to search for great buys that give us value for our money.
During this season of giving, we also get to meet our persona with different preferences in gifts. Ans sometimes, it can be tricky to satisfy one’s gifting requirements!
Good thing Xiaomi is here with a bunch of online budols at Lazada and Shopee that will cater to all our gifting needs—while making both our pockets and recipients surely happy.
