The new normal has shifted mall shoppers to e-commerce and this industry is developing faster than the previous years. Necessity is the mother of all inventions as they say, and we are all pushed to find ways to achieve our business goals. This year I won't be visiting malls as much as I used to but will be relying mostly on my smartphone. As I shop for this joyous season, I would like to share with you some Christmas gift ideas from online stores this year.
Menu Planner
When the community quarantine was enforced, a big number of my friends on Facebook became cooks and bakers.

Subscription Boxes for Preschoolers
Another alternative to toys as gifts are subscription boxes. Our favorite is Parkwood Playschool's subscription boxes for 5-year-olds. We have an unboxing video about it which you can view here: https://youtu.be/C3V_YPs7dlo
They also have boxes for kids ages 2-3 year olds and for 4-year-olds.
And guess what? They have a special Christmas Busy Box this month!

UV Bags
Almost everyone, specially moms, became germophobic this year because of the corona virus, and for a very good reason. In fact, the essentials now inside our houses include products for sterilization such as UV products. UV Protect Philippines offers different products that uses UVC (ultraviolet light) which can be used for disinfecting and sterilizing, and can kill over 99.99% of germs in a short amount of time.

Room and Linen Spray
Everyone's home!!! This also means more mess and yes, sometimes the icky yucky stuff that comes with more people living and moving inside a the house. As a person who enjoys tranquility and fresh aroma, a room and linen spray is a go-to arsenal of moms.
I have always loved the scents of Belle En Blanc Parfums and now they have room and linen sprays in their line of products. They also have customizable perfumes, a wide variety of gift selection from mini perfumes, hand sanitizers, fragrance lotion, scented candles, to unique perfume bottles. Another plus about this store is that the products are all ready for gifting when handed out to customers. Ms. Jade Bejosa, the person behind this woman-powered business has been on Bloomberg Philippines where she shared about her passion and entrepreneur journey.

Neem Tree Oil for the Plantitos and Plantitas
I grew up with neem tree planted around our house. My parents taught me that these unassuming plants can ward off insects naturally. ProPlanet, a store in Shopee is offering 100% pure neem oil for plants. Their neem oil is certified organic by the US Dept of Agriculture which you can use for your organic garden and farm.

Digital Application for Kids
For our kids and godchildren, we can opt to give them digital gifts that will help their home education. One of our favorites right now is the Night Zookeeper application. Night Zookeeper is an online tutoring service and gamified learning platform that inspires a love of creative writing in children. Our son is loving the application and it has increased his interests in writing and improved his grammar in just a few weeks. Night Zookeeper is offering a 50% discount on annual subscriptions.

Devotionals for Kids
Listen up, godparents! We, godparents, were tasked to lead our godchildren in Christian values. And one way we can do so is by gifting them devotional books. I got these from Shopee. Click the photos to be directed to Shopee shop.
