This last-minute holiday gift guide will elevate your celebrations, help you find the perfect pair for the season’s outfits, and help you find the ultimate presents for yourself or loved ones.

Gift Love with FitFlop

This season’s agenda? Wearing comfort without compromising style.

David Licuanco joined Fitflop’s shoppers on a magical spree last December 17, 2023 at their Mall of Asia branch. David played celebrity personal shopper and picked out the comfiest footwear for the holidays. David personally got to know patrons and chose each pair for shoppers in-store. The star himself rocked the Fitflop Anatomiflex Leather Panel Sneakers paired with a bright red sweater and beige pants, giving a touch of festive spirit to the casual look.

David’s personal recommendations to shoppers were all about comfort, fashion, and a generous sprinkle of festive spirit in true Fitflop style. The celebrity Santa made the shopping experience extra special and definitely memorable.

Gifting to Your BFF

Angel Dei (@angeldei) loves keeping it comfy in a pair of Fitflop F-MODE Padded Leather Flatform Cross Slides. Cool, easy, and contemporary, these buttery leather slides are extra soft and silky on the feet. Made with FitFlop’s Microwobbleboard™ technology, these deliver ergonomic all-day comfort. This chic pair is the best gift for your BFFs (Try to resist the urge to steal it for yourself.)

Giving Back to Mom

Riva Quenery (@riva) sports a clean classic design with her Fitflop Eloise Cork-Wrap Leather Backstrap Wedge Sandals. The straps are crafted in smooth high-quality leather, and its curvy adjustable buckles (in brushed metal for a refined feel) ensure they stay on for the busy moms this Christmas season. Show your love to Mom with this perfect pair!

Going on a Tropical Vacation

Celeste (@celeste_cortesi) rocks the Fitflop Surf Adjustable Leather Back-Strap Slides. A fresh and sporty take of FitFlop's legendary supercushioning Microwobbleboard™ midsole. The pair has a rubber outsole that enhances the grip, making these suited for sandy beaches, the splashy outdoors, and the sunny tropical weather.

Gearing Up For Holiday Tours

Kim Tappy (@kim_tappy) fell head over heels in love (quite literally) with this classic pair of Fitflop Rally Leather Suede Panel Sneakers. The super popular Rally trainers with curvy paneling are softly padded, fresh, and casual. The ideal present for someone who knows how to dress up a casual outfit with a good pair of sneakers.

Kim also gave us the perfect holiday tip: Make sure to wear your favorite FitFlops for light country trails, as well as in the city, or on a busy holiday exploring on your feet.

Cozy Classics for the Season’s Parties

Vern Ong (@vernfloresong) loves to style his Fitflop Vitamin FFX Knits Sports with a casual monochrome. Perfect for both traveling and regular days at home. The sleek superlight sports trainer helps you move more and feel great. Biomechanically engineered for exercise and casual running, but equally good for dancing at this holiday’s get-togethers, the gift for someone who brings the party with them!  The best Vitamin isn't in a pill, it's on your feet…

Christmas magic comes alive with Robinsons Department Store’s Enchanting Christmas Shop


Bring in the holiday cheer with a wide selection of Christmas décor for every design inspiration

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, you know the season of joy and splendor has begun. There’s no better time to spruce up your home than now to avoid the Christmas rush.

This year, Robinsons Department Store (RDS) is pulling out all the stops to make your Christmas shopping magical and stress-free with the opening of its Celebrate Christmas Shop—in stores and online.

Robinsons Department Store is letting shoppers choose how they want to shop for their holiday décor with different Christmas themes. Browse the e-catalog and add to your cart if you’re pressed for time to go to the mall but want to start with your home decoration right now, or visit the Christmas Shop for additional inspiration as the department stores are decorated for the holidays.

Here’s a guide on how to achieve a cohesive theme for your home this holiday season.

Choosing a Christmas Tree

The first step in choosing a Christmas tree is determining the size that will best fit your space. Where will you put the tree? In the living room, dining room, or foyer? Measure the height and width of the area and ensure that there’s enough clearance for the tree—and the tree topper—to stand upright without touching the ceiling.

Robinsons Department Store’s Christmas Shop offers a variety of trees in different colors (white, silver, and green), materials (tinsel, vinyl balsam, and royal Dakota), and shapes (slim and full). Price and size also come in a wide range to suit your space and budget.

Classic Christmas

Nothing says enchanting Christmas more than the timeless colors of red and green. For those who cherish the holiday traditions they grew up with, the Christmas Shop offers delightful décor in these classic colors. Think red and green Christmas balls, Nutcracker soldiers, twinkling fairy lights, poinsettias, green and red leaves on slim branches, wreaths, tabletop trees, garlands, and other ornaments like plush toys. Classic Christmas embodies the warmth of nostalgia and holiday traditions.

Splendor Christmas

On the other end of the color spectrum are the rich, jewel colors that bring a touch of luxury to your home. The ornaments sparkle and shine in deep blue, maroon, fuchsia, gold, and even black and translucent — and are mostly embellished with silver or gold trims. Gold fillers and ribbons are strategically wound throughout the tree for that extra touch of luxury. Gold wreaths, stylized nativity figurines, reindeer, and brush-like tabletop trees complete the look.

Christmas with Santa

One of the most beloved symbols of Christmas is Santa Claus. With his never-ending supply of gifts from his sack and his jolly laughter, Father Christmas has caught the hearts of generations of children and adults. What better way to celebrate the happy spirit of the season than with a Santa theme? Mini Santa, Rudolph, and the Snow Man can decorate your tree for that festive spirit, while tabletop Santa on his sleigh, and Christmas socks and throw pillows create a cheerful atmosphere all around your space.

Christmas tablescape

Entertaining is a huge part of the holidays and you can flex your cooking as well as your decorating skills in one go. Create a truly unforgettable holiday dining experience with dinnerware and cutlery from the Christmas Shop. They range from minimalist white plates with just a hint of holiday print to colorful ones. Your table can be as opulent or as simple as you want. Pick a couple of tree ornaments or slim tabletop trees to scatter around the table. You can also create an intimate ambiance with Christmas lights bunched up in glass containers or just winding around on the table like a garland.

Robinsons Department Store’s Christmas Shop is your one-stop shop for all your Christmas decorating essentials. Browse the e-catalog here and add it to your cart on GoCart, LazMall, and Shopee Mall. Or visit any Robinsons Department Store near you for more holiday inspiration.

iNova Pharmaceuticals spreads holiday cheer to kids

The sound of laughter and joy echoed through the neighborhood as over a hundred children from the local outdoor basketball court of Barangay Fort Bonifacio gathered recently to receive a special surprise from iNova Pharma Philippines, Inc.

The kids were greeted with an entertaining magic and puppet show courtesy of iNova Pharmaceuticals. iNova Pharma Philippines, Inc Managing Director Jason Carroll swooped in like Santa Claus to hand out presents to the kids at the end of the show.

Here you go! iNova Pharma Philippines, Inc Managing Director Jason Carroll led the iNova team in giving gifts to the kids of Barangay Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City. Additionally, the company also provided the kids with an entertaining magic and puppet show as well as lunch to make for a memorable occasion.

Lighting up faces, an annual tradition

Seeing their faces light up with delight like that reminds us of the importance of giving and sharing in our communities,” said Carroll. “We are so grateful for the opportunity to give back.”

The company has been carrying out its annual tradition of gifting children in the community for Christmas since 2019. Each year, the company donates presents and toys to children in need, providing a memorable holiday experience for those who might not otherwise have one.

Due to the pandemic, the event was suspended for safety reasons. This year, the company was able to revive the tradition and was once again able to spread some holiday cheer to the community's kids.

Thanks to the combined efforts of iNova Pharma Philippines, Inc. and the local leaders of Barangay Fort Bonifacio, the event gave kids in the community a memorable day of fun and Christmas cheer.

iNova Pharmaceuticals is an international pharmaceutical company that distributes a wide range of market-leading, innovative and trusted healthcare solutions that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. The company operates in the Philippines and over 20 countries across Asia, Australasia, and Africa.

How festive is that! Jason Carroll (in green shirt), the Managing Director of iNova Pharma Philippines, recently visited Barangay Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City to give away Christmas gifts to over a hundred kids in the neighborhood.


 ‘Tis the season of giving! The magic and wonder of the season were alive and well at Barangay Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City as iNova Pharma Phils., Inc. brought the gifts to the neighborhood children. In the photo was the iNova team, iNova Pharma Philippines Managing Director Jason Carroll, and (far right) Barangay Kagawad Amante Dela Cruz Jr.

‘Tis the season…for travel: Fun holiday experiences for all

As leisurely travel awakens from its slumber, Filipinos are starting to seize the opportunity to see the world and enjoy vacations especially after being cooped up for a long period. According to data from the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), the country's air passenger traffic volume in domestic and international flights increased more than fourfold to 13.2 million passengers in the first half of 2022, up from 2.95 million in the same period last year.

The easing of travel restrictions means you can finally return to your favorite holiday destination or explore other locations for a new take on Christmas – a perfect gift for your loved ones, and a reward for yourself, too!

So, gather your family and friends and prepare to go local or international, as you visit these holiday spots that will surely make you feel jolly:

Enjoy a holiday beach getaway in Apulit Island, Palawan. If golden sunsets and tranquility is your idea of a perfect Christmas, then a trip to this luxurious island is most ideal for you. Choose your own relaxing room from among the 50 traditional water cottages, interact with wildlife, take in the breathtaking scenery, or test your strength by rappelling down the nearby 60-meter limestone cliff. This Christmas, enjoy peace and fun while being close to nature in this tropical paradise.

Have an adventurous holiday in Samal Island. Escape the noise from the metro and enjoy a unique Christmas with loved ones by going to this island’s best places. Relax and unwind at Hagimit Falls or try an exhilarating hike at Mt. Puting Bato for a dazzling view of the island from above. Greet the Monfort Bat Cave’s nocturnal animals for the holidays as they emerge from their lair, or just bask in the sun and take a dip in the pristine waters of beaches and resorts.

Chill and ski in Hokkaido, Japan. If you like adventures while enjoying the sight of immaculate snow fields, then reward yourself with a holiday trip to Hokkaido. Visit the snow-blanketed ski resorts and enjoy the local onsen and take a bath in the warm and therapeutic hot spring waters after a long day spent in the cold. You can also see the Sapporo White Illumination, in which over 500,000 light bulbs enlighten Christmas-themed decor in Odori Park and trees lining some of the capital's main streets.

Go on a Christmas getaway to Iceland. Who doesn’t dream to see the majestic skies adorned with northern lights? Iceland offers the perfect place that gives-off a native Christmas spirit with its holiday markets, foods, and drinks, while glittering Christmas trees stand ground all over the place. It’s a dreamy winter wonderland, but if you like to take a break from the snow, take a dip in the warm waters of Blue Lagoon’s geothermal waters.

Visit Santa’s home at Rovaniemi - Lapland, Finland. If “North Pole” vibes is what you’re going for, then booking a flight to this destination can be the best Christmas idea for you. In the Arctic Circle of Finland, you can see Santa Claus everywhere. In his red and white suit, the Christmas icon can be followed through reindeer-filled forests, where his elves prepare the toys. Lapland, as one of the most magical destinations, has an amazing 'Santa Park' where you can frolic in the unending fields of snow, and can be a dreamland not just for kids, but for kids at heart as well.

As you finish your holiday travel checklist, ensuring your safety and that of your loved ones wherever you go should be your main priority. Be worry-free before setting sail on your next Christmas adventure. AXA Philippines Chief Marketing Officer Nandy Villar says, “Everyone deserves to experience the joy and magic of Christmas, regardless of the destination.
