Another way to help save the environment and discourage the use of single-use plastic is by gifting friends and family with their own sets of stainless utensils. This shop can hand-stamp names, anecdotes, and even spells (a la Harry Potter) on spoons and forks.

Shop Sissy PH
Since everyone's practically glued to their phones these days, giving someone a personalized phone case and grip makes perfect sense. Have your friends' names, important dates, or photos printed on both the case and the grip so they'll be reminded of your thoughtfulness 24/7.

Things Remembered PH
From pouches to ribbons to glassware, this shop can personalize almost anything for you. No wonder—it's Kris Aquino (who's known for being particular about organizing and personalizing her stuff)-approved! Just a bit of a warning though, it's not for the indecisive. You can choose the item you want personalized (wallets, passport cases, ribbons, mugs, tumblers, and even essential oil bottles), the color of said item, the font, and even the font color for some items.
