Quirky, cute and fab gift ideas from Rustan's

MANILA, Philippines - This Christmas, choosing the perfect gifts for your loved ones is a breeze at Rustan’s Department Store.

Rustan’s Young Adults offers a wide array of items for all types of personalities and interests.

Bag enthusiasts will have a heyday shopping for handbags, purses and clutch from Tokidoki, Harajuku Lovers, Loungefly and Chocolate NY, while music lovers can put on their music full blast with Xoopar speakers in Japanese cartoon characters. Also check out the bear, cheese with mice styles, and even tofu-inspired speakers.

U boasts a vast collection of clothing and accessories — from nautical cap-sleeved tops, pleated skirts, ruffled cropped boleros to animal print clutch bags. The men’s section carries polos, shirts and bags for different occasions.

Shoe lovers can head over to the Young Adult’s shoe section. On the racks are trekking boots, ballet flats, wedge sandals, peep-toe pumps and platform stilettos.

Liven up your work area either at home or at the office with irresistible knick-knacks from Stuff that’s too cute to ignore. They offer animal-inspired paper clip holders, penholders, tissue roll holders and even a keyboard brush along with lovable coin banks in the shape of cats, dogs, rabbits and pigs.

After shopping, proceed to the concierge and present your receipt to claim a special gift — “Care for the Rare” stuffed toy — for every minimum single receipt purchase of P10,000.

Ongoing until Dec. 31, Rustan’s “Care for the Rare” program is aimed at encouraging the younger generation to spread awareness on the conservation of the environment specifically the Philippine Endangered Species (PES). Supported by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the toys represent various animals that need utmost attention.

Choose from Rustan’s exclusive collection of Philippine Endangered Species by Gund: the Philippine eagle (Haring Ibon); bearcat (binturong); buffalo (tamaraw); tarsier (Mamag); warty pig (baboy ramo); blue-naped parrot (pikoy); marine turtle (pawikan); mouse deer (pilandok); cloud rat (bu-ot); cockatoo (kalangay) and the whale shark (butanding).

The same promotion will also be running simultaneously on Rustan’s Facebook. Upon joining the Rustan’s page, fans can share by posting a picture of their favorite animal and describing it by the virtue it represents. The most “likes” will win their chosen animal toy.
