Metro Gift Guide 2024: Gifts You Can Give Yourself This Holiday Season

<p>Ah, the holidays! Who doesn&#x27;t love the rush? It makes us feel excitement, enjoyment, warmth, fuzziness, and all good feelings. We don&#x27;t like long queues, traffic jams, endless to-dos, and you know <em>the &quot;S&quot; word</em>—stress. While the holidays can truly get busy, we can always take a step back, assess our priorities, slow down, and find ways to fill our cup.</p><p>That&#x27;s why we at Metro came up with a gift guide for picks you can give yourself this Christmas and beyond—wellness picks, tips, and advice to help you get through the hustle and bustle unscathed, and even ready for the new year to come. Keep scrolling, and we hope you find something you fancy! Happy holidays, everyone!</p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>1. Gift Idea 1: Waterpik Cordless Portable Water Flosser</strong></div><p>There&#x27;s a reason dentists remind us to floss daily. While this step in our oral hygiene often tends to be neglected, there&#x27;s growing awareness about why this is indeed vital. While brushing our teeth is the first crucial step in oral hygiene, adding mouthwash and flossing are must-dos too. Flossing daily helps remove dirt that toothbrushes can&#x27;t reach, and avoids the build-up of plaque, cavities, halitosis, and even gingivitis. This holiday season, with lots of parties (a.k.a eating) on the horizon, arm yourself with an extra layer of dental care by flossing daily!</p><div><br/></div><p>We love Waterpik&#x27;s innovative Cordless Portable Water Flosser, as it comes from a brand recommended by dentists. Not only that, as the Waterpik Water Flosser has settings that allow you control the movements and output to your preference. Expect nothing but deep cleaning, minus the waste. This pick is great for travel too, allowing you to keep your dental hygiene in check wherever you may be. <strong>Shop </strong><a href="https://oralhealth.ph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:621px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732864607442Waterpik Flosser.jpg" style="width:621px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Waterpik Cordless Portable Water Flosser</span></span></span><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>2. Gift Idea 2: Eight hours of quality sleep daily</strong></div><p>The holiday season is notorious for making people lose quality sleep. Let&#x27;s not let that happen to us this time around by carving out a proper sleep schedule amidst the hustle and bustle. According to sleep coach <a href="https://www.instagram.com/himbing.ph" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Maria Campos Lopez</strong></a>, &quot;If food is fuel for our body, sleep is fuel for our brain. It supports healthy brain function and maintains our physical health. It affects all aspects of our lives.&quot; Does it ever occur to you that when you haven&#x27;t properly slept, you&#x27;re more irritable, you can&#x27;t focus, and you just feel spent all day?To echo coach Maria, it affects all aspects of our lives! </p><div><br/></div><p>While our well-being depends on it, our looks do, too! According to Dermatologist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedermamamaph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jarische Lao-Ang</a>, &quot;Having enough sleep is often an overlooked factor when it comes to taking care of our skin. adequate sleep is important for the skin’s renewal and regeneration. It is the time wherein not just the body but also the skin rests and repairs itself.&quot; </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732865052287pexels-vlada-karpovich-5357341.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="true"><a href="http://: https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-woman-sleeping-on-bed-5357341/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Vlada Karpovich on Pexels</a></span></span></span></div><p>Dr. Jarische goes on to share that timing is also crucial when it comes to sleep. She adds, &quot;When it comes to adequate sleep, it is not just important to look at the hours of sleeping, but the sleep quality is crucial as well. 9 PM to 11 PM is the time that skin repair and renewal starts; cell production, melatonin, and collagen production happens within this time frame.&quot;</p><p>So if you&#x27;re at a loss for ideas on what to give yourself this Christmas? Start with the basics. Start with better sleep. We promise, you&#x27;ll thank yourself for it!</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>3. Gift Idea 3: Joyce &amp; Diana Pillows and Sheets</strong></div><p><strong></strong>When we talk about sleep, our environment matters. If your room is messy, and cluttered, with a TV blasting, your laptop on nonstop, and a bed that&#x27;s less than desirable to sleep in? You guessed it—you won&#x27;t get any quality ZZZs here. We recommend investing in your bedroom, and by investing you can do a good spring clean and inventory of what you should keep and not keep. Toss out the stressors in the room, and bring in some warmth and coziness. We also recommend investing in a quality mattress and sheets for your bed. </p><div><br/></div><p>Pillows and linens from Filipino brand <a href="https://www.joyce-and-diana.com/about-us" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joyce &amp; Diana</a> boast the same 5-star quality offered in hotels. No wonder our sleep experience in hotels is different—their beds and linens hug our bodies the right way! Having this kind of luxury in your very own room will upgrade your regular sleep time to upgraded, quality snooze time. The brand takes pride in its craftsmanship, employing skilled Filipino artisans to handcraft every product for your ultimate satisfaction. <strong>Shop Joyce &amp; Diana <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/shop/joyce-diana?path=index.htm&amp;lang=en&amp;pageTypeId=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</strong></p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732865315929Joyce and Diana Sheets.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Joyce &amp; Diana</span></span></span><strong></strong></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>4. Gift Idea 4: Ogawa Master Drive AI 2.0 Genuine Leather Massage Chair</strong></div><p>Who isn&#x27;t a fan of massages?
