Flip-flops for gifts

CEBU, Philippines - While Santa may have had finished his gift list before December, most people have not yet. What to give to the visiting relatives, the fashion-savvy nieces and nephews, the godchildren and others on the list? Here’s a fresh idea.

While flip-flops may be more associated with summer, a pair of Havaianas actually makes a much welcome and well appreciated gift.  What with its cool hues and pretty prints, and its stylish designs.  It’s a most practical gift, given the year-round warm Philippine climate.

With collections that range from celebrating one’s pride of place to favorite sci-fi movies, a pair of buttery-soft flip-flops is a unique gift for the different types of people in one’s life.

The new Havaianas Filipinas 2016 collection consists of pairs in blue, red, and black – with iconic symbols that are distinctly Filipino, for relatives who are coming home for Christmas. The geeks in the family will love the Star Wars-themed pairs. The little ones will be jumping in joy with a pair featuring their favorite cartoon characters.

The fashion-savvy too will love to get a pair of flip-flops – it can be in classic rose gold to match her handbag and gadgets, a fun print in purple for casual meet-ups, or a floral design for the beach.

With various designs to suit every personality on the Christmas list, a fun, fashionable and functional Havaianas gift is sure to delight everyone this holiday season. In Cebu, The Filipinas and Starwars Collections are available at All Flip Flops Ayala Center Cebu, All Flip Flops SM City Cebu, All Flip flops SM Seaside, All Flip Flops SM Consolacion, Rustan’s, and at the newly opened pop-up shop at the ground floor of Robinsons Galleria.
