The saying โ€œbahala na si Batmanโ€ wonโ€™t cut it this Christmas. Take charge by making a list of who you want to give gifts to and check it twice. While giving gifts should be done freely, it’s best to think things through if you want to save this holiday season. Dasurv ba nila? Another helpful tip is to set a spending limit. After all, itโ€™s the thought that counts!

For a truly big brain move, you may even suggest an exchange gift or a white elephant for your next get-together, so you only need to get one presentโ€”a win-win for your wallet and your friendsโ€™ joy.
