I have high respect and admiration for teachers. Hats off to them for doing that kind of job. 30+ kids in one room?!? I just could not imagine. And my heart is specially close to those who teaches my kids, specially those who’s doing it more than they should. Aside from Teacher’s Day, Christmas is another day to let them know that they are appreciated. Sharing with you 5 Best Christmas Gifts For Teachers.

5 Best Christmas Gifts For Teachers

Baked Goodies or Food. I thought I am the only one who lovesss food as present. If you are going to give food, make sure that it is for sharing. It was mentioned that food given as gifts are usually shared at the faculty room. Sabi ng friend ko “good shot pa sya sa co-teachers nya.”

And I just found the PERFECT food (na for sharing) to give this Holiday: Red Ribbon HoliDozen Gift Boxes. It comes in a festive box designed with a colorful Christmas parol and a gift card!

HoliDozen Assorted Mamon (P252) includes a variety of melt-in-your-mouth mamon with flavors like Butter, Ube, Mocha, Creamy, White Choco Almond, Caramel, Cookies and Cream and Cheesy Mamon.

HoliDozen Cheesy Ensaimada (300) comes with a dozen of the mouth-watering pastry, topped with butter, cheese and a sparkling of sugar.

HoliDozen Assorted Pastries (282) comes with Cheesy Ensaimada, Butter Mamon and Choco Cake Slice.

Chocolates. Another entry for our 5 Best Christmas Gifts For Teachers that surprised me. This is best seller for female teachers according to a teacher friend.

And you wouldn’t get wrong with chocolates! Most brands comes in a cute packaging. Wala ka na problema sa gift wrapping.

Bag or big purses. Ecobag that can hold a lot of stuff is a nice gift. If you feel like being extra, add the name of the teacher for personalized effect. Teachers always have a lot to bring and a sturdy bag will be greatly appreciated.

Desk supplies or pens. Pens will do the trick, 100%. All the teachers I know mentioned pen as one of the gifts they appreciate. If you know the teacher’s favorite color, give a set of pen with different shades of her/his favorite color.

Grocery Pack or Ham for Christmas. Nobody can say no to this, even me! Specially if it is Holiday Ham hahaha. If Ham is a bit expensive for you, try spaghetti pack from the grocery. Each pack is less than 200 Pesos only. You can even add cheese + corned beef para complete na ang pang spaghetti ni teacher sa Christmas.

O ayan, hindi na kayo mahihirapan mag isap what to give to your kids’ teachers this Christmas.

BONUS: other items aside from the 5 Best Christmas Gifts For Teachers list that you can give to teachers:

Kilay kit if teacher is kilayislife. Maybelline Fashion Brow Palette is a really nice gift and it’s very cheap ha, less than 400 lang.

Water bottle or folding umbrellas. If you wanna be extra, give her 2 of each.

Toiletries Gift Sets like the one from Dove is also a good gift for teachers.

What you should not give to teachers: PLANNER! because according to my teacher friend, teachers are busy they have no time to plan haha

Ballet Philippines Presents Edna Vida and Alice Reyes’ The Nutcracker

Ballet Philippines (BP), the country’s flagship dance company, presents the timeless Christmas ballet in full Filipino splendor in Edna Vida and Alice Reyes’ The Nutcracker. Nobuo Fujino (formerly a Senior Artist at the Australian Ballet and Principal Dancer with Hong Kong Ballet) returns to BP as guest artist courtesy of Japan Foundation and Tan Yan Kee Foundation, and the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Gerard Salonga, plays Tchaikovsky’s iconic music live on select performances.

A ballet for the whole family, The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition all over the world, with professional dance companies and schools doing their own version of the beloved full-length ballet. BP sets itself apart by adding its own Filipino flavor to the time and tested ballet.

Set in the Philippines in the 1920s, The Nutcracker follows our young heroine Clara on a fantastic journey. At her family’s Noche Buena, Clara receives an enchanted Nutcracker Doll from her godfather, the toymaker Don Alfonso Quintero. Her sister gets the Sugar Plum Fairy Doll and her brother, the Rat King Doll. As midnight strikes, all the toys including her beloved Nutcracker, the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Rat King come to life, and a battle between Rats and Toy Soldiers ensues. Her Nutcracker valiantly leads the soldiers, but is soon overpowered by the evil Rat King. Just as the Rat King delivers his final blow, Clara comes to the Nutcracker’s rescue and the Rat King falls.

As the rats scurry off with their king, Don Alfonso appears and reveals the true identity of her doll—he is the Nutcracker Prince! He and the Sugar Plum Fairy have been trapped in a spell which only a person pure of heart can break.

In gratitude for Clara’s act of courage, the Nutcracker Prince whisks her away to the Kingdom of the Dolls. A feast is celebrated in her honor as she is surrounded by dolls from all over the world, dancing flowers, and the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy.

What makes this Nutcracker unique is how the late National Artist for Theater Design Salvador Bernal incorporated Filipino design elements into the sets. The turn-of-the-century grand ballroom showcases art nouveau arches with anahaw leaves and framed capiz shells. The Nutcracker is the perfect holiday treat for children.

Fujino will partner BP’s Denise Parungao as the Sugar Plum Fairy. Alternating with Parungao is resident guest artist Candice Adea and company member Jemima Reyes. They will be partnered by Lester Reguindin and Victor Maguad, respectively.

Catch us on December 1-10, 2017 at the CCP Main Theater. For tickets, call Ballet Philippines at (+632) 551-1003, the CCP Box Office at (+632) 832-3704, or Ticketworld at (+632) 891-9999 or Ticketworld.com.ph.

Sanicare Facial Tissue Liwanag Series Box

Christmas will always be my favorite. Not just for the gifts and sales no. Grabe kayo! I love Christmas because I can be OA with decorations and everyone appreciates it! I can put Christmas themed throw pillows on top of a Christmas themed sofa with a Christmas themed curtains at the back. Can you imagine? Kung may carpet ako, gusto ko din may hint of Christmas. Sanicare Facial Tissue Liwanag Series Box

Even in my kitchen, I try to incorporate Christmas designs as much as possible. For this year, I will be a bit overboard and will try to make my kitchen as Chrismassy as my living room. Buti na lang, I chanced upon Sanicare’s Kitchen Towel with Christmas prints:

Now, I am more excited for Christmas than ever. Relate ang mga homemakers sa ganiton feel di ba? Every year pala, Sanicare comes out with special Christmas prints for their Kitchen Towels. This year, Sanicare is also releasing specially designed boxes for Christmas.

Sanicare Facial Tissue Liwanag Series Box

The Sanicare Facial Tissue Liwanag Series Box.

The boxes were designed by the artist Alex Eduque, the founder of MovEd. The designs are centered on parols and stars. Alex chose to use parols on her designs because she believes parols are a symbolic representation that evoke a notion of promise and unification. It also transcends social classes and lights up all Filipino homes. The boxes are inspired by world-class Fdilipino talents and the ability of global citizens to find the silver lining amidst the darkest days.

Alex chose to integrate the stars in her design because it is a constant reminder that we share the same sky and despite the stark differences and circumstances in all corners of the world, that each one of us has a star shining brightly within.
