Do you agree when we say that the appearance or presentation of the gift is as important as the gift itself? In fact, beautifully-decorated gift boxes - whether laid out by the Christmas tree or having its own special spot at home - are one of the things we love about the holidays. Despite her busy schedule, Kris really went the extra mile this year personalizing her Christmas gifts with her favorite colors and handwritten cards. You can make it all special too with these tips:

Food is something we can never get enough of during the Christmas season. And most likely, there's a foodie or food lover among our circle of relatives and friends. The question is: what to give them. More so, how do you make a great impression and make your gift stand out among all the items that have been given. Our answer: make it personalized and homemade. Your recipients will appreciate the time and the effort. Here are some of our suggestions:

Boys will be boys, and boys will always have their toys! Josh and Bimby are shown in photo having fun with their new Spy Gear Night Vision glasses, a gift from their loving mom. These binoculars are battery-powered and use infrared light to illuminate your vision so that you can see even in pitch dark. Perfect for when you're pretending to be James Bond defending Skyfall. Toy Night vision glasses make a perfect gift for the kids this Christmas. In the meantime, Josh and Bimby won't go to bed without it.

Kris loves beautiful things and she wants to be surrounded by them to feel good vibes and positive energy.

November 21, 2012 By Kris Aquino This year I will fulfill my wish to deliver all our gifts before December 15! I'm just waiting for our personalized Christmas cards to be ready this Friday (November 23) & starting next week we can start delivering our gifts. I wanted to support Pinoy entrepreneurs. I have an organic soap basket w/ Bench hand towels. I was also able to order soy candles in a special lavender-mint blend & my all-time favorite baby powder scent. I work hard to personalize my greetings so this Friday, Saturday & Sunday I'll be busy writing on our Christmas cards. This year has been wonderful because I visited so many new places, was entertained by so many charming hosts & I get to show my appreciation to everybody during this holiday season.
