There’s something amazing for everyone on your list at SM Supermalls

It’s getting down to the wire to buy your last-minute holiday gifts. It can be hairy, yes, but it doesn’t have to involve boring and recycled items.

And just because you’ve waited ’til the 11th hour to do your Christmas shopping doesn’t mean you’re totally out of options.

At SM Supermalls, procrastinators (like you) are in for a treat. There, you’ll find a wide array of gift items that are still available to make the foodie, health-conscious, beauty junkie, gamer/techie and the adorable little tyke in your life feel loved and appreciated.

The best part? Some of these products are from small and medium entrepreneurs, who are still struggling to keep their businesses afloat — two years into the pandemic.

Gifting with thoughtfulness

Through its SM Startup program, SM Supermalls is lending a helping hand to aspiring and startup entrepreneurs to get them back on their feet by setting up shops in SM Malls.

The SM Startup package offers affordable rental rates, free use of kiosks and carts, marketing assistance for the businesses to have free exposure in SM online assets, and ad spaces inside SM Malls.

For SM, Christmas 2021 is all about “gifting with thoughtfulness.”

When buying gifts, think of how you can help the small and medium entrepreneurs who were badly hit by the pandemic; and think of what the people you love want and need.

Convenient ways to shop

While nothing beats leisurely roaming around your favorite SM Malls, there are services designed to help you beat the holiday rush. All it takes is just a few taps of your finger.

Enjoy your own mall-wide “personal shopper” with the SM Malls Online App; get everything you need from The SM Store through ShopSM, the online shopping platform of The SM Store; and via #SMCalltoDeliver, where you can have the items delivered the same day. You can also avail of same-day grocery delivery via SM Markets Online (SM Markets PH).

Lastly, there’s the SM Gift Registry App that lets overseas Pinoys order, pay, and deliver gifts to their loved ones wherever they may be in Philippines.

So get your gift list, eco-bags or virtual carts ready before time runs out.
