Last year, I got to meet new, amazing people at work. I made friends with them right away, and we clicked perfectly. Before the year 2025 ended, we planned to have our exchange gift with a twist. Since there was a trending exchange gift idea online, we decided to try it.
We set a budget of 30 Pesos for each person. When we got to the office, we prepared the meeting room. We put up a banner and get the table ready. Then, we took photos together before we started giving the gifts.
We started giving the gifts one by one, and the room was filled with laughter. We are enjoying the moment since we shared gifts that are budget-friendly but useful. It made us think creatively as well.
When we started giving them to each other, we found ourselves buying the same gifts too. Some bought a toothbrush, tissue, a mirror, and nail cleaning products. Those were witty ideas!
We were so happy with everything we got, and it was a fun moment together. It's an ice-breaker moment in the office before the year ended. Of course, we made the day special by taking lots of pictures together for our memories.
When I get back from my desk, I cannot forget to take pictures of everything I received from my workmates. They are all useful for me, despite being budget-friendly. It was a fun moment and at the same time, memorable.
