Make Gift Giving Hassle-Free with GC Regalo!

Although buying something for ourselves and shopping for new clothes, gadgets or goodies can always be a source of happiness for us, there is no greater joy than the joy we get from giving gifts to other people. And with Christmas just around the corner, everyone is already busy scouting the malls for the perfect gifts to give their loved ones. For those who are stumped on what to get the special people who made a difference in their lives for the past year, below are fool-proof gift-giving ideas for all occasions:

•  Make it all about them and not you.

• One way to ensure that the gift you will give will be appreciated? Go out of your way to really know the person -and most specifically- find out their likes, their hobbies, favorite characters, etc. Just spend a week observing what they do in their free time, or look at their social media accounts for clues on what they like based on the photos they have posted in the past. Once you have an idea about what they like, then you will find it easier to shop for what they want. Remember that although you may be tempted to give them a gift that YOU yourself want for yourself, they may not appreciate it as much, and they will be much happier in getting a gift that truly reflects their interests and likes. 

•  Personalize your gift. 

•  Another way to make your Christmas gift or birthday gift extra special is by personalizing it. Personalizing a gift is really very sweet and thoughtful as it means you have put ample time and consideration in preparing it as opposed to just getting a last-minute gift from the mall. In deciding on which gift to personalize, you can either base it on your own talent. Are you artistically inclined and is skilled at drawing, painting or calligraphy? Do you like baking cupcakes in your free time? Perhaps you can make a short poem for them? How about serenading them with your epic guitar skills? Or if you don't have any specific skill or talent, you could just have a shirt or pen customized with their names, school, club affiliations, or anything they're currently interested in at the moment. 

•  Give them their favorite food. 

•  What could be better than their favorite food? Everybody loves food and it's guaranteed not to go to waste as their is always someone they can share the food with. So multiply the joy by giving them their favorite food... whether it be their favorite dessert (cookies, brownies, cakes and ice cream), favorite chips, nuts or snacks or their favorite food from a restaurant (pizza, fries, donuts, chicken).

•  Simply give them a Gift Certificate. 

• When all else fails, just give them a Sodexo Premium Pass Gift Certificate or GC Regalo. By getting them a Gift Certificate, you are relieved from the burden of having to gift wrap a present, and you are also saved from having to carry a bulky and heavy gift package which you have to hail a taxi cab to be able to deliver as you just need to hand the certificates enclosed in an envelope. Best of all, you give your loved ones the freedom to just be able to choose their gift however they want it as the Sodexo Premium Pass Gift Certificates may be used in around 100 restaurants and food establishments, major department stores and supermarkets nationwide, skin clinics, salons and spas, electronic and appliance stores, pharmacies, clothing and shoe stores as well as leisure parks, theater and bowling alleys. By purchasing the Sodexo Premium Pass Gift Certificate or GC Regalos, shopping for a gift this Christmas is truly hassle-free and convenient to do!
