Guys are always the hardest when it comes to gift giving because in my experience, we don't really know what they want and they're not that adventurous. This is the reason why I came up with this gift guide in the first place!

So welcome to the last installment of our gift guide series for men; if you haven't bought anything for the special men in your life yet for Christmas, then be sure to take note of this guide when you go shopping this weekend!

GUY BFF

SPEND: OTTERBOX MOBILE CASES

Otterbox has pretty much become an essential for any phones because it has proven that it is sturdy and effective in protecting our beloved mobile phones from hard falls. An Otterbox gift will surely put a smile on your guy BFF's face!

SAVE: CASETIFY MOBILE CASES (Around P2,000 (free shipping worldwide))

Casetify is an international brand of funky tech accessories; what's cool about them is they have collaboration collections with some notable contemporary artists abroad like this plane ticket tech accessory collection made in collaboration with Canadian artist Pangram Pangram; the plane ticket smartphone case is such a hit because it can be personalized with names as well!

HUSBAND/SO

SPEND: APPLE WATCH SERIES 5 (Around P27,000)

A gift that I hear men talking about as I walk in malls, eat in restaurants, and mosey around authorized Apple retailer boutiques in malls that's why I had to put it here! Apple Watch is a smartwatch for people on the go; it's a fitness tracker, heart and noise monitor, and iPhone partner in one!

SAVE: FITBIT VERSA 2 (P12,890)

If your SO doesn't need all that extra and cares more about the fitness tracking capability (aside from it being a watch), he will equally love the cheaper Fitbit Versa 2; it's a fitness tracker with a got a heart rate monitor, Amazon Alexa built- in, and sleep tracker.

Which one will you get for the special guys in your life this Christmas? :)
