Social media influencers aren't called influencers for nothing.

Take it from someone like Mimiyuuuh, David Guison, Angelique Manto, Denise Heredia, Peter Laguisma, Vince Velasco, Mika Salamanca, Davao Conyo, Ashley Yap, and Ches Cabrera to curate the perfect gifting list for you.

Mimiyuuuh
Social media icon Mimiyuuuh makes sure that her family is always taken care of. This holiday season, she already knows what to get for them.

"Ang parents ko feeling ko bibigyan ko sila ng weighing scale kasi kailangan nila makita po at ma-watch 'yung weight nila kasi ang lakas nilang kumain," Mimi said, laughing. "And for my kuya, I'm going to buy a lot of polos from Lazada kasi magwo-work na siya so nagpunta ako sa LazLook. For my baby sister, since first time mom siya, magsho-shop ako ng mga needs niya for her motherhood!"

For her part, Mimi is looking to add to her collection of jeans, along with other beauty items. "I really love looking for jeans sa Lazada and I have around five favorite jeans and napakaganda ng quality and I bought it na very mura," she said. "And for beauty naman, mas skin-care ako. Nag-add to cart ako ng Pond's Bright Triple Glow Serum. I super love this. Bumili kayo nito grabe glowing ang skin ko talaga!"

David Guison
For lifestyle content creator David Guison, his rule of thumb for holiday outfit shopping is trying to look as joyous as possible.

"I try to go for the festive route kasi masarap tignan at nakaka-good vibes siya," he said. "It really gets you into the holiday spirit."Aside from clothes, David says he's on the lookout for other items that ups his style, from hair products to accessories.

Angelique Manto
Content creator and TV and events host Angelique Manto is eyeing more shimmer from Lazada.

"I'm going to be buying a lot of Christmas make-up like all the glittery eye shadows and lip glosses from Lazada," she said, adding that the plan is to apply her
three-step strategy in online shopping. The first is to weigh whether the item is for daily use and if it will last with her. Next is to check the quality through reviews. And third, "I make sure that it is stacked with vouchers so that I can get the best deals ever!"

Denise Heredia
Actress Denise Heredia's shopping list has different items for her family. "For my loved ones, of course, gadgets for my dad. For my mom, she likes a lot of home things like candles, mga fragrances for the house. And then, for my boyfriend, maybe buy new pet food."

Denise is also planning to get for herself her favorite local brands, including Strokes and Sunnies Face, to go along with "a lot of shimmery clothes." She says: "A lot of my clothes are from Lazada and excited na ako mag-shopping for the holidays!"

Vince Velasco
The thought process of TV events host and fitness enthusiast Vince Velasco before making a purchase involves asking himself three questions: "Do I need it? Do I want it? And when do I need it?"

Vince usually buys clothes from Lazada for his hosting gigs, including neckties and long-sleeved shirts. This Christmas, he's adding to his cart more tech items, as well as home organizing and fitness stuff.

"Make sure you put all of your items together and don't forget to use all of your vouchers," he said.
