Christmas season is undeniably keeping everyone busy buying presents for their loved ones, their godchildren, their friends, and colleagues too.  Because we're also occupied with home and work errands, sometimes we can't squeeze in shopping in our schedule until we realize it's already December and there aren't any gifts wrapped under the Christmas Tree!

How do I know this?  Well, my Christmas tree's situation used to be that way a few days ago.  My schedule caught up with me until our work team scheduled our advance Christmas party.  I panicked honestly.  But the good news is, when I went to SM Makati and checked out SM Stationery, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were a lot of new and fun items which are perfect gift ideas for my friends and office mates!

With so many fun stationery items available at SM Stationery, it's easy to be thoughtful and give personal gifts.  Look at what items I delightfully saw during my lunchtime shopping day:

I used to think that SM Stationery is a corner for school and office supplies.  I'm excited to see that it's now beyond that.  It's a shop for fancy and fun finds that's available all year round, not just for Christmas.

SM Stationery is heaven for people like me who wants to stop and shop in one place, who likes to find functional and practical gifts, who fancies cute and fun gifts, and who believes in giving gifts with personal touch and love.
