For Overseas Filipino Workers it is very important to be with the family during Christmas and New Year’s Eve. But you maybe in a situation that you are unable to go home. Perhaps you are out of vacation leave or you are required to stay because of the present demands of work.
In cases like this you are there is not much to do but atleast send them gifts. You could ask a Kababayan to carry you gifts for you when they go home. Or you can have them shipped. But the problem with shipping is that the carriers maybe too busy, especially since it’s already November. Your package may not arrive until after the holidays.
You could try the online gift stores:
PHGifts.com
PhilRegalo.com
MyRegalo.com
GiftsnIdeas.com
RegaloManila.com
These are but some of the online stores. They will deliver straight to your relatives’ home since most of these stores are based in the Philippines.
These stores accepts all major credit cards, paypal, western union, bank payment, etc.
They can be much more expensive than buying locally. But hey, it’s better than nothing when you are running out of options.
