Celebrities Share their Christmas Gift Ideas from Philips

Sunday, December 9





Are you done with your Christmas gift shopping?

With only two more weeks before Christmas, if you are like me who hasn't bought a single gift yet, I know it's time to panic. Are you still thinking about what unique gifts to give your loved ones this year?

Thankfully Kris Aquino, Camille Prats, Martin Jickain, beauty blogger Liz Lanuzo and YouTube star Wil Dasovich are here to share their most loved Philips tools – giving us the perfect ideas for Christmas!

Kris Aquino, our Queen of All Media, loved the intelligent cooking system of the Philips Viva Collection All-in-One cooker when preparing her mom’s Callos recipe in an episode of Kitchen Love. With functions for slow cooking, pressure cooking and multi-cooking, this multitasker is safe to use and a perfect gift for someone who loves to cook!


Martin Jickain enjoys trying new recipes with the Philips Avance Noodle Maker because it allows him to “enjoy fresh and tasty noodles in just 10 minutes with many different flavor options”. These options include adding nutritious ingredients like egg, spinach and carrot juice for healthy and worry-free homemade noodles. 



Camille Prats uses the Philips EasyTouch Plus garment steamer to make sure she never leaves the house with creased clothes. With its wide range of essential steaming solutions for different fabrics, it is the perfect tool for any fashionista who needs to make quick touch-ups and smooth crinkly clothes.

Liz Lanuzo was amazed by the Philips ProCare Airstyler during her Facebook Live session as it “allows her to dry and style her hair at the same time”. With five styling attachments including a 38mm thermo brush to smoothen hair and a retractable bristle brush for easy curling, it is a great gift for anyone wanting to achieve different styles without damaging their hair.

Mention well-groomed and Wil Dasovich instantly comes to mind. He achieves his look with maximum comfort using the waterproof Philips 9-in-1 Face and Body Hair Trimmer. Its DualCut Technology offers maximum precision with 2x more blades. This multigroomer has nine tools to trim and style your face and hair with self-sharpening blades and a battery life of up to 70 minutes. 

What else can you add to your Christmas wish list this holiday? 

Fry, bake, roast and grill tasty and healthy meals for Noche Buena with the Philips Avance AirFryer. It uses 75% less oil without sacrificing taste and texture, is easy to clean, safe, and economical for your daily use.

Creating silky smoothies and fine sauces for the holiday feast is easier than ever with the Avance Collection Blender. It handles more than just fruits, it can puree cooked ingredients and even crush ice for cocktails! 

To create a mood-boosting fresh juice, just drop your fresh vegetables and fruit into the Philips Avance Collection Juicer, press the switch and the juice is ready to drink in no time! Perfect choice for fitness buffs and the health conscious. 

This Philips PerfectCare uses OptimalTEMP technology to keep your fabrics safe from burn marks without having to change the setting. Be it delicate silk to sturdy jeans, you are guaranteed the perfect combination of temperature and steam for professional ironing results. 



With Philips’ extensive line of kitchen appliances, personal and garment care products, you will never run out of gift ideas this holiday season, especially with the Christmas promos now available in all leading appliance stores nationwide.

10 Gifts You Probably Don't Want To Receive This Christmas

Monday, November 6


Have you started your Christmas gifts shopping? They say you should always be thankful for the gifts you receive. After all, it's the thought that counts. But what if you receive a gift that seems like giver didn't put much thought? I mean, if you know your friends you definitely know what to give them. 

If you don't want to receive these gifts on my list, your friends probably don't want either.


1. Coffee mugs

I know there are people who collect coffee mugs (usually Starbucks) but if 15 of your friends give you generic coffee mugs this Christmas.... This could be the most thoughtless gift especially if your friend doesn't drink coffee.


2. Face towels

I've read in a survey somewhere that people would rather receive handkerchiefs than face towels. Most people use handkerchiefs or tissue paper so it will be more appreciated if you give them those.


3. Deodorants

Don't you think this is too personal? Aside from the fact that people have preferences when it comes to deodorants and other personal hygiene stuff, receiving these kind of toiletries can be offensive to some people. It's like insinuating something.


4. Key chains

There are cute key chains and then there are those that are inappropriate to give as a gift. Make sure you don't give a broken-heart key chain to a friend who recently ended a 10-year relationship. And please don't ever give out key chains with your photo printed on it. Seriously, we don't want to see your face every time we use our key to open our door.


5. Batteries

Unless they come with a toy or flashlight (I'm really not sure if I want to receive flashlight too), I don't think receiving batteries for Christmas will make anyone jump for joy. I know they are useful but...


6. Fruitcake

Who loves fruitcake? I think this is one of the most re-gifted present during Christmas. And no matter what you do to a fruitcake you receive, it always seem to find its way back to you. 


7. Bubble wrap

Is this even a gift? It's like receiving a package wrapped in bubble wrap and you just thought "this friend of mine loves popping this so I'll send this as a gift instead of throwing in the trash.


8. Albatross bathroom deodorizer

I know that diffusers and home fragrances are the thing now but if you are on a tight budget and looking for an alternative gift, just don't give your friend an Albatross. Please. It's for the bathroom, ok?!


9. Party souvenir

Souvenirs from weddings and parties you've attended are thank you gifts of the celebrants. Don't ever think of giving them as gifts... with the thank you tags still attached. Worse scenario, you might accidentally give them back to those who gave them to you.

10. Adult toy

Unless you are attending a stag or shower party, it is inappropriate to give someone an adult toy. Even if you know that your friend is the "adventurous" type, Christmas is not the best time to give this kind of gift.



You don't need to spend a fortune to make someone happy this Christmas. Spending a few hours with friends over a cup of coffee to catch up or sending a card with a personal message is way better than wrapping toothpicks for the sake of giving a gift. Don't be confused with the real meaning of the phrase "it's the thought that counts."

What's the most thoughtless gift you've received in your life?
