Vogue Philippines’ discerning edit for the holiday season brings together the best local finds, luxurious experiences, and leveled up splurges for your consideration. Next on your list is the most important one on your list: your mom.
Mothers–whether you are one or you are gifting one–always deserve something special. Whether that means giving up your pleated Carl Jan Cruz skirt to her so she can wear it as a top, this is the season to heed all of the Instagram posts she “accidentally” forwards to you.
By way of recommendation, tug on their heartstrings a little. My own mother has worn a bracelet with floating heads of myself and my brothers since we were kids–it’s a little cheesy, but JMA Jewelry’s necklace version will have any mom smiling ear to ear.
If not, then stun them with a life hack. Zero waste e-comm outfit Last Object‘s take on the typically single-use bits and bobs of the home can check off any name on your list. Available both online and at Beauty Bar locations, a usable gift is honestly the best one.
