It’s Christmas season and people are definitely feeling the gift giving spirit! I never forget that this is the month when everybody tells me that I am a very difficult person to give a gift to. The reason? I’m a guy! I’m very well aware that a lot of people, specially ladies, have no idea what they should give to a guy. So here’s a list that, for sure, a guy would like to receive this Christmas!

7. Plain Shirts

Yes! It is as simple as that! Any plain shirt will do. These are items which guys either neglect to buy or takes guys so long to buy a new one. It can be long sleeves or a basic t-shirt. Just make sure that it is in plain color unless he demands the printed ones. To be safe, you can opt for anything black or white. These are wardrobe staples which can be used multiple times in a vast variety of ocassions.

6. Aviators

Why so specific with the style of eye wear? It’s because you can never go wrong with aviators. It’s a classic and it fits any face shape. Trust me, it will look good on him. It would be best that you invest on a good brand for this so that it will last long. I’m sure your special guy will use this over and over again. Might even use it as his daily driver.

5. Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Sometimes, we also want to show off our playlist and everyone loves music. The good thing about portable bluetooth speakers is that you can bring them anywhere without the hassle of wires! That’s right, guys hate hassle. This is definitely convenient for the music lover guy.

4. Backpacks

In my opinion, a guys must at least have one quality backpack that can be used everyday. Men’s stuff are mostly bulky and our sling bags may not be sufficient and/or they are gym bags. Haha Just get the right backpack for you guy and he will use it when needed. Hey, he might be a mountaineer! You can get him that highly functional trekking backpack he’s been eyeing. 

3. Headset/Earphones

Most guys are gamers or just want to shut off the noisy world around them. Earphone will surely be useful. It would be best to get the ones that produce high quality sound. Yes! The quality of sound varies mostly depending on brand. It makes a lot of difference in the whole experience of gaming and/or watching videos. If you get him those high end headset/earphones, he will automatically throw out the ones he has!

2. Watch

This is what I call a classic gift to a guy. I don’t know why but most guys naturally gravitate toward watches. We all know that our smartphones already have a watch in it. However, it is still better to take a look at the time with just a flick of the wrist. For men, watches are basically equivalent to jewelry to women. 

1. Shoes

This is a no brainer! Most guys, if not all, love shoes. From sneakers to dapper brogues, guys have an affair with shoes. Haha Just make sure that you get the right size and the right style. You will surely make his Christmas a memorable one!

Believe or not, guys may have a lot in common but we have different preferences. The list I made is just a rough guide. Your guy might not be so interested in them. Luckily! You can find all these at Metro with their “Pasko sa Metro Gift Guide!” With this gift guide, I am sure you will get the most of your hard earned money and you also get to make the guys in your life happy!

Metro’s 35th Anniversary Sale is finally here! Trust me, you do not want to miss this one because it is one of the biggest sale event of the year. Splurge on your hard earned money because there’s no guilt here. I’m sure you’ll get a bang for the buck. Huge discounts, great finds, and amazing prizes await you at Metro!

Just to make sure you’ll get the most out of Metro’s 35th Anniversary Sale. Here are 3 TIPS and 5 SECTIONS for you to watch out for.

Let’s start with the 3 TIPS!

Tip Number 1: Watch out for the banners. These banners are your friends! The red ones are the percentages off the original prices. They can go as high as 50% off! Ain’t that amazing?! However, never underestimate the white banners. These banners indicate the already discounted prices of items which can go as low as Php 50. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the 50 peso banner.

Tip number 2: Always be vigilant of the price stickers. There are orange stickers already stuck on some items in the store. These orange stickers indicate the already discounted prices of the items. White price stickers, on the other hand, are the usual price stickers which indicate the regular price. However, never be too shy to ask the friendly sales representatives around. There is a huge possibility that these items are on sale too. I found a white shirt earlier which was priced at Php 89 which is already pretty sweet. It turns out, it was only Php 59! That’s even sweeter! 

Tip number 3: Never ignore those tables on the aisles. They literally contain items at the lowest price possible. Always take a look and you’ll be surprised!

Section 1: Hardware! These items may be at basement 2 but they still pack a punch at discounts. They have buy-one-take-one items too!

Section 3: Bags/Luggage. I know these luggage may seem to be always on sale but just take a look at that photo above. That’s 50% off! 50% off! That’s like buying a piece of luggage for the price of a backpack! I also found these duffel bags at only Php 499 from Php 999! Mind you, these duffel bags have wheels at the bottom too.

Section 4: Shoes. My jaw dropped again. I first saw the 70% of banner which surprised me because I initially though it was only up to 50% off. Metro is definitely being generous with these occasional 70% off gems sneaking around. You thought that was a huge discount? Wait until you see those comfortable slip on shoes at only Php 199!

Section 5: Clothes. Of course, never miss out on these clothes. These items can go as low as Php 59. I also saw some chic basic t-shirts which are at very good quality for only Php 149!

Metro already has a lot to offer and they even have more discounts for their valued shoppers. Imagine this. These items are already priced reasonably and they still slashed off a good amount. Now that’s a sale! 

If you think that’s all, there’s more. There’s always more! Haha Get a chance to be one of the 35 WINNERS of Php 35,000 worth of Gift Certificates each! All you have to do is purchase a total amount of Php 1,500 only and you’ll have 1 raffle entry. It’s that easy!

Wait! There’s still one more! Metro Supermarket is bringing back their HAKOT! HAKOT! Cart of  groceries raffle draw! Get a chance to be one of the 335 winners just by purchasing Php 1,500 worth of groceries to get a raffle coupon.
