Given the world’s current situation, holding Christmas parties in person is not practical and safe. But thanks to technology, you can have virtual Christmas parties to bond with your loved ones during the holidays. Still, just because the country is under lockdown doesn’t mean we can’t continue the gift-giving tradition. Contactless transactions have become a common theme this year, extending to presents. Aside from Christmas gift ideas like physical presents, there are digital gifts that anyone in your life—a parent, a friend, or a colleague—will appreciate.

Check out the list below for five digital holiday gifts you can give without leaving home!

What makes digital portraits better than available subscriptions and e-gifts? This Christmas gift idea adds a personal touch that you can give to your loved one/s. Your giftee doesn’t need to be an artist to appreciate a well-made artwork of themselves or their pets and family. Many local artists on Instagram and Twitter offer commission portraits so that you can start your search on these platforms: Christa Vega, Kenneth Santiago, Sid Gonzales, Jill Arteche, Kristina Micotti, etc. This digital gift takes time; make sure to book the portrait one to two weeks earlier than the party date.



5. Virtual Workout Membership

Barre 3 (https://barre3.com.ph/)
Evolve Yoga and Fitness (https://www.facebook.com/evolveyogaph/)
