Hi guys! Well, I know a lot of you already did some Christmas shopping to avoid “Christmas rush” but, for those who’s not, this is a perfect discussion for all of us.
I usually do my Christmas shopping first week of December (after my birthday) haha! I see to it that I have listed down the names of the people I’m buying presents for, and some gift ideas to save time and money.
Since, I’m working at daytime my only available time to canvass or look for gift ideas is at night but, sometimes I really get lazy because, I am eager to go home to have my well-deserved rest.
Good thing, there’s internet! During my free time at work (or days, I’m too lazy), I browse the internet to check some gift ideas. It was really fun for me because I get to see the item and even check the price, or maybe buy online.
One of my recommended online shops is Zalora. They have a nice and wide selection of clothes, accessories, shoes, makeup and bags. Zalora has a great selection of stylish tops that would make perfect Christmas gifts for your female friends and family, to view them click here! If you’re interested to buy online, just register to their website and you can get a P250 off upon signing up.

You have the option if you want to pay it thru bank deposit or cash on delivery. For Metro Manila, it takes 1 - 3 days delivery, provincial 3 – 7 days. They also offer a 30 days FREE return and a free shipping for purchases above P995.00. For orders below P995.00, there is a P100.00 shipping fee.
Once you confirmed your orders, you will receive a notification from them regarding the status of your order. They will even text you if the parcel is already out for delivery.
For your guy friends and family, don’t worry..... Zalora also carries stuff for men!
For more details, please do visit their website here!!!
Btw, I purchased Too Faced Eyeshadow Palette at Zalora, and I was impressed with their service, will do separate review on that.
Next is, Mean LiciouzShoppe, well, the clothes I like are too expensive in the mall and I’m planning to buy tons of clothes as Christmas present for my girlfriends. The clothes I’m pertaining to is available in her online shop at a very affordable price. I decided to transact with her without even knowing her background, I just want to get those clothes!

Inquire first, if the item is still available and she will reply to you asap (you may contact her thru viber or SMS). If you’re sure with your orders, she will send you an invoice indicating the unit price, as well as the total amount including the shipping fee. Inform her of your preferred payment method (bank deposit via BDO or money transfer). Once payment has been made kindly send her a copy of your deposit slip for reference. She will reply to acknowledge your payment. Send your details: name, shipping address and contact details. She will also send you the tracking number and day when she shipped your parcel. Courier is XEND, so check your status at Xend website with the tracking number she provided. It will take 1-2 days for Metro Manila and 3-5 days for provincial. If you’re interested to check her shop, click here!

She changes her cutoff every month (orders, payment and shipping) so be sure to check her FB page from time to time.
I bought sets of clothes from her (personal use), and I’m sooooo happy with my purchase. Will discuss and show it to you guys soon.
Lastly, I Love NL Clothing. ILOVENLCLOTHING (Where Budget meets Fashion) true to their word!!! The items they have are really affordable and I was happy doing transaction with her. Like the owner of meanliciouz shoppe, she is very nice and polite. They also carries stuff for men though. Check them here.

Inquire if the items are available, confirm your order and she will send an invoice. Payment can be made thru BDO, BPI, Palawan Express, LBC, Western Union, MLhuiller or Cebuana. Just let her know which is more convenient to you. Again, send her a copy of your deposit slip then she’ll acknowledge it. Send your details: name, shipping address and contact details. Courier is JRS and LBC. Though Zalora, Meanliciouz and Ilovenlclothing have different couriers, deliveries were fast!
I bought clothes from ilovenlclothing and I was satisfied and happy!
For other gift ideas, (like accessories, decorative items, etc.) Zalora, Meanliciouz Shoppe and Ilovenlclothing carries it. So be sure to check their sites if you wish to save time buying presents this Christmas.
Of course, there are people who love to shop at the mall to see the items personally before purchasing however, for people like me who’s busy at times and too lazy to go out (especially during my rest day) online shopping is not a bad idea at all, like now, for sure a lot of people will visit the mall soon and it’s really exhausting and tiring due to the volume of shoppers.
You just have to take the risk and yes, it’s a trial and error because I know that there some online shops that have lousy service and incomplete details re the items. But, as for me I already have my 3 trusted online shops and I'm glad to share it to you.
I will enjoy my birthday first then, do my Christmas shopping. Am I early, or late?!
Have a fun Christmas Shopping!!!
