The art of gifting yourself
Once the holiday high has settled, festivities have wrapped up, and the flurry of the season has calmed, we can’t help but get into a more reflective mood. After months of thinking about gifts, giving said gifts, and gathering our nearest and dearest, I hope you’ve had time to think about gifting another very important person: yourself.
Of course, you shouldn’t scrimp on gifting yourself. After a long year of hard work, and taking stock of all the colorful experiences the past year has given, I wondered, what could be a good gift for myself? I asked three discerning men for ideas.
If you had P10,000 left to spend after gifting everyone else over the holidays, what would you buy for yourself?
