Got a long list of people to give Christmas gifts to this year? Are you—and your wallet—ready for the season of giving?

Instead of stressing yourself out thinking of gift ideas for everyone on your list, relax and take it easy! Why not come up with bulk Christmas gift ideas and get the same items for your inaanak, relatives, officemates, and corporate clients? Save thoughtful, personalized gifts for the people you’re closest to.

Buying Christmas gifts in bulk saves you not only effort but also time and money. You can get discounts when you buy wholesale. Haggling for items in bulk at tiangges is easier, too. And when you save money and stretch your holiday shopping budget, you can afford to give everyone a present.

Bulk Christmas Gift Ideas in the Philippines

Shopping in bulk doesn't mean your Christmas gifts can't be meaningful and useful. We've scoured the internet for a few awesome bulk Christmas gift ideas your recipients will actually use, eat, or enjoy. Here are 15 of them.

Chocolates, candies, cookies, and other sweets from international brands sold in malls are typically expensive. If you're planning to buy loads of sweets as gifts for your inaanaks or as giveaways in the office, you can save a great deal when you buy from local wholesalers.

SMR Chocolates, for example, carries famous brands like Hershey's, Toblerone, Oreo, and Pepero at wholesale prices. You won’t run out of cheap bulk gifts to choose from as SMR also carries affordable snacks like Gery chocolate wafer rolls from one of Indonesia’s leading food and beverage brands.

While SMR caters mostly to resellers, customers who need to shop for Christmas gifts can also enjoy low prices when buying products in bulk.

How about giving the people you care about cheap bulk gifts that are still practical and useful? If you have loved ones who constantly complain about not getting approved for a credit card, a prepaid card is a great alternative they'll find useful.

A Maya card, for example, can be used for many online transactions. You can shop online or in-store wherever Visa, Mastercard, and Bancnet are accepted. With this card, you can book flights and movie tickets online, as well as subscribe to Netflix, Spotify, and other apps. Freelancers can even link a Maya card to their PayPal account to receive payments.

Maya cards are currently on sale, with each one costing ₱150 instead of the regular price of ₱200. You can also buy bundles of two or three to avail of their free delivery promo.

CBTL is one of the most popular coffee shop chains in the Philippines—and rightfully so as it doesn’t only serve good food and drinks; it also takes its social responsibilities seriously.

CBTL gives back to the communities that grow its products by supporting their educational and medical needs. It also gives back to its own employees by supporting their growth, and to its customers by providing them avenues for creativity on top of serving them carefully crafted tea and coffee beverages.

Price: Starts at ₱595

Where to buy: Filbar’s online and physical stores

Christmas is one of the holidays in the Philippines where you can guiltlessly indulge people by giving them gifts that fall under the “Wants” category than “Needs.” Of the many barkada gift ideas we can suggest, this one is sure to delight your recipients, especially if they belong to certain pop culture fandoms.

Funko Pop vinyl figurines, bobbleheads, and other similar collectibles have been around for a while now. If you’ve put off buying a bundle of these for your geeky friends, now’s the time to reverse that and go all out.

Tote bags never go out of style, so they’re perfect to add to your bulk Christmas gift ideas. A tote is simple, humble, and unassuming—three qualities that give it its charm. While it typically has a utilitarian look, many designs meld comfort with style to create a bag that’s both fancy and functional.

Totes and Beyond is among the many brands that sell affordable tote bags. Its Shopper Tote Monotone is one of its more affordable options at only ₱750 each. You can choose among 14 available colors and get one in medium or large. It’s perfect for all ages and genders, too, so you won’t leave anyone out by giving them this everyday bag.

Final Thoughts

Just a warning: these holiday gift ideas may tempt you to also buy some stuff for yourself, thinking it won't hurt because you're getting discounts anyway. Later, you’ll realize you don't need the extras you've purchased. Remember to focus on your goal—which is to shop for Christmas gifts for others—and fight the urge to splurge your 13th-month pay away!

Which of these gift ideas do you like the most? Any other affordable bulk Christmas gift ideas that can help shoppers save money during the holidays? We'd love to read your recommendations!
