(SPOT.ph) Okay, you might be thinking: “Why would I even buy my siblings a gift?”. You guys don’t really do that. It’s more normal to play pranks on each other and fight about whose turn it is to do the dishes. Still, love hides beneath all the playful bickering—you grew (and are still growing) up with them after all. There’s no better time than Christmas (or their birthdays) to let your mask down and show them some love and appreciation. If you don’t know what gift to get them yet, have few ideas that might help. You can even save up as early as now to get it in time.

Here's a Christmas gift guide for your siblings:
You know, aside from your presence, a playful slap, or the middle finger.
Gagalet Woman, Gigil Woman, Gentle Mo Mukha Mo Tote (P299) from Aniya Clothing
If your older sister is the first person who comes to mind when you hear the word hotheaded (and you may or may not mean this lovingly), these witty totes from Aniya Clothing are the perfect gifts for her this Christmas. Maybe she won’t be as irritable when you give her a functional tote that can carry her essentials while she goes out and about doing older sister stuff.
No. 45 Morning Rain from W.Dressroom (P199/30ml, P349/70ml, P599/150ml, and P649/500ml)
Name familiar? If you’re an avid K-Pop or K-Drama stan, W.Dressroom’s perfumes should ring a bell. It’s a Korean fragrance brand that your favorite idols and celebrities wear. They’re already available in the Philippines if you want to sniff the scents firsthand. You can find out what scent your brother likes and pick out from the available 35 scents. No. 45 Morning Rain (P199/30ml, P349/70ml, P599/150ml, and P649/500ml) is BTS’ V’s pick if you want a recommendation.
Digital gift cards on Steam
For those who have siblings who absolutely love gaming, showering them with credits on Steam could be the perfect gift. The lowest amount you can digitally give them is P200, and they should be able to score games that they want. It can be less thinking on your part, too! But if we were to recommend a game, why not Phasmophobia?
Bonus game: Phasmophobia (P379.95)
Your brother and his friends are going to have a fun time playing this immersive horror game from Steam. In Phasmophobia, they’ll play as investigators on the hunt for paranormal pieces of evidence in haunted locations to find out what type of ghost is lurking in said house. Actual ghost hunters, we say. If they love horror and playing with their friends (a bomb combination) or you, this might be something they want to try.
Available on Steam.
Jewelry set (P720 to P1,200) from Wear Cari Label
You and your siblings share a lot of things—or it’s mostly just you “borrowing” clothes, shoes, and heck, accessories from her wardrobe. You can make it up to her by gifting her a jewelry set. This specific one from Wear Cari Label is packed with earrings, a ring, and a necklace, all in pretty minimalist designs. You can choose from different themes with differently designed pieces. But let’s be real here, you might end up borrowing these pieces, too.
Katinkoman/Katinkogirl (P900) Set
All of our joints are aching, probably more so for your older brothers and sisters (no attack here, we promise). You need to get them a set of Tita-essential Katinko ointments and oils. Help them stock up their adulting arsenal with the Katinkoman-slash-girl Set that contains 30g and 10g ointment; 10g stick; 35ml and 10ml oil; inhaler; sports spray; and 75ml of AlcoLavander 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. All the things they’ll need to relieve stress from work or studies.
MAH Tote Bag (P2,780)
If your sibling loves a minimalist and functional tote they can carry when they’re out and about the Metro, then they’ll appreciate the MAH Tote Bag. There's a very spacious main compartment that can carry their 15-inch laptops, plus it’s waterproof, too. It’s the perfect carry-all for travel, office, or school.
H1 Wireless Headphones (P5,000) from Baseus
Nothing’s better than giving someone their own peace of mind. Give your older brother a pair of Active Noise Cancelling headphones like the H1 from Baseus so he can tune out the world (and your voice, just kidding) by blasting music. He can listen for long hours—say 70—and comfortably, thanks to its “marshmallow-like fit”.
Amazon Kindle (P7,795)
If your sibling is a certified bookworm, you might want to consider giving them their own Amazon Kindle for Christmas. Sure, they love their paperbacks and hardbounds, but having one allows them to carry multiple titles—think a thousand books—without breaking a sweat on their travels. They can get books for free, too. It even has a bunch of features, like a dictionary or electronic markers should they love annotating.
Nintendo Switch Lite (P9,750)
You can’t miss out on a Nintendo Switch Lite if we’re talking about games. But be prepared in case your siblings stop going out of their room because they’re playing on their new Nintendo Switch (that is, if they’re not already doing that for their own reasons). They can let off steam or just happily enjoy playing Animal Crossing. Heck they might even let you be player two, especially since you bought it for them.
