Vogue Philippines’ discerning edit for the holiday season brings together the best local finds, luxurious experiences, and leveled up splurges for your consideration. Next up: gifts for the experimental millennial in your life.
Millennials have a bad rap on the Internet right now, but to be honest, they (fine–we) probably aren’t even on the algorithm anymore. The 30+ something demographic has gone the way of nights spent indoors, tending to wine cabinets or baby bottles, with the collective aesthetic moving toward quirky details, interesting materials, and niche hobbies. Who else has all of the padel courts and tasting menu tables booked up?
For the millennial experimenting with different styles in their lives, the choices are unlimited: Play Nice fashions discarded textiles into takeout-inspired bags, complete with a pair of chopsticks; Jo Malone signature scents are upgraded with cute touches; the Levi’s look gets a ’00s update via the NewJeans collaboration baby tee. There is so much to be said about the libration of one’s aesthetic inclinations, and for the millennial in your life who’s just looking to have fun, all of it, really, sparks a bit of joy.
