For the officemate running to their workout or class after office hours, a trusty pair of grip socks makes a good gift. Pilates and physiotherapy studio ONELIFE dropped their Grippies Crew Socks earlier this year featuring an orchid embroidered with blue thread that's chic as it is functional. The high-traction grip provides stability for pilates, yoga, barre, or other activities, while the breathable cotton blend fabric keeps feet cool and comfy in class and out of it. Apart from the function, the minimalist design and sleek look can also elevate any pair of sneakers.

Available at select OneLife Studio branches. Also available via the OneLife Studio website.

One can never have too many collared tops, especially if you're presenting reports and meeting important people in the office. This Oxford Boxy Long Sleeve shirt from Uniqlo is a go-to for many, and if your work bestie doesn't have one yet, now's the perfect time to get them one (or several). The shirt from the brand's collab with designer JW Anderson uses a cotton-rayon blend fabric that's light on the skin and features double buttons for adjusting the cuffs, finished off with a logo embroidered on the front hem. We also love that it's oversized, cropped, and comes with a pocket so while it may feel casual, it makes office ensembles look put-together.

Available in Uniqlo branches nationwide and on the Uniqlo app and website.

Laptops are an essential—be it in the office or for remote work setups—and your officemate could benefit from a sleeve that's both practical and still matches their aesthetic. Local brand Blanc Nué has a laptop sleeve that can be hung over your shoulder either horizontally or vertically and is available in vibrant colors that you can mix and match with their straps. The Bubble Sleeve for the laptop comes in black, off-white, and blue and is available in 15-inch and 16-inch sizes, while the Pillow Strap comes in seven colors: black, off-white, khaki, blue, green, pink, and red. It's puffy all around so your device is cushioned, and the silver zipper keeps it secure on the go.

Sleeve available on Shopee. Strap available on Shopee.

If your work bestie is a budding perfume fiend or they're adding on to a collection, the Discovery Set from local brand Tadhana makes for a great gift. The set contains six fragrances from the brand's Persona Collection so your officemate can showcase different sides of their personality depending on their mood—after all, there are some days they're feeling soft and romantic or they're more magnetic or mysterious on others. The 3ml vials house scents that are Asian-inspired and Filipino-rooted, so they're reminiscent of very familiar experiences and smells that add on to the whole experience of spritzing on a perfume.

The best part? The small bottles are portable plus you can figure out longevity, drydown, and preference without breaking the bank or hoarding full-sized bottles. You even get a P600 voucher on the next full-sized bottle you get.

Available via the Tadhana website.

Nails are undoubtedly part of the office OOTD, too. Keeping them short and clean is an option, but you can also opt for sleek colors to tie it all together. Just in case your work bestie is swamped with deadlines and has no time for a mani sesh, an instant no-frills mani is the next best thing. Kiss imPRESS press-on nails come in a variety of shapes and colors and get the job done in minutes minus the time constraints, hassle, and stress.

Got an important meeting or event? Just find the right sizes, peel the backing, press the nail on, and go. Each kit contains 30 nails, a prep pad, mini nail file, and manicure stick so your bestie can get a fresh mani whenever, wherever.

Available on Shopee.

Who says office outfits have to be bland? These statement Gaia pearl studs from local jewelry brand Studio Sunspell are made from stainless steel with 18k PVD gold coating so they can withstand the elements and give that extra oomph during an important presentation. The naturally-shaped pearls are big enough to stand out without being too distracting, plus the metal findings are guaranteed to be water- and sweat-proof so your bestie can wear them to go swimming, to the shower, and even on their workout.

Combination-to-oily skin is hard to get right, and if your best friend at work has been lamenting the state of their skin during one of the most stressful times of the year, then it's time to step in with a skincare product. Local brand Pure Culture has the Wild Algae Glow Up Serum that contains Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to address hyperpigmentation, blemishes, whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamation. This lightweight but potent serum can be used day or night and doesn't have that sticky feeling that's worsened by the tropical climate.

Available on Shopee and via the Pure Cuture website. For more information, visit the Pure Culture website.

Christmas may make the months cooler, but that's not to say the Philippines is cold. It's still pretty hot, especially on commutes, and the best way to combat the heat is with a portable fan. At just 145 grams, the rechargeable Aecooly Aero Handheld Fan in the 3500mAh capacity is a light and compact device that can fit in bags, pockets, or even around wrists or necks with a strap. It has five adjustable speed levels, a clear display for monitoring the fan's settings and battery life, plus it comes in beige, blue, pink, and white. It's also perfect for vacations, trips, and concerts!
