With only four days to go before Christmas Eve, the lot of us are in a mad rush to complete our Christmas lists! This is the last weekend before the big day so this is pretty much our last chance to get those last minute presents for our loved ones. And with crazy traffic and crowded malls as our major road blocks, it is really better for us to know what to buy before making that trip to the mall. No doubt, it can be quite overwhelming to go from store to store without a plan (or a list), which is why I’ve decided to share my little Christmas shopping trip to Muji with you, so you don’t have to walk aimlessly throughout the entire mall before you decide what to buy.

Muji is all about design and function, which pretty much guarantees that the person you’ll be buying the present for will love his/her gift. This Japanese premium lifestyle brand carries streamlined products and designs that are clean, classic and true to their function. I love Muji, and this has always been my go-to store when buying gifts for my family and friends. I remember having to buy all my Christmas gifts from Muji Hongkong, when I used to work as a model (I was usually in Hong Kong from September to December). Of course, that was before Muji opened here in Manila so my only setback then was paying for my excess baggage. Now that Muji is all over Metro Manila, I really don’t have to worry about all that and I get to buy the best gifts for my loved ones. Muji is globally known for their best-sellers such as the Muji to Go travel size PET bottles, Luggage, Neck Cushion, Organic Cotton garments, ergonomic Furniture, recycled Notebooks, pens and eco-friendly, polypropylene Storage Boxes.

So I picked out six Christmas gift ideas that any of your loved ones with absolutely love. These are super useful, innovative and they look good, too! Check these out.

(1) Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser, (2) Face and Nose Trimmer, (3) Electric Eyelash Curler, (4) Wall-mounted CD Player with Radio, (5) Solar Table Light, (6) Cuckoo Clock. 

Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser – An iconic home accent, the Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser gives off a scented dry mist to fill your room with a relaxing, fine fragrance. Taking off from its success in Japan, China, Korea and Europe, the Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser is a key home fixture that spreads the aroma of essential oils in their truest form. Enjoy up to 3 hours of soothing scents that can transform the room for a private retreat any time. With its two-level brightness option, it bathes the room with a soft, ambient glow using its adjustable LED light. Presented in an elegant product design, the Aroma Diffuser uses the technology of its ultrasonic function, consistent temperature setting and indirect room lighting. The Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser sets a positive and calm mood at home, in the office, in the spa or any space that work as a personal haven. A few drops of the essential oil can be blended into 100ml of water to release a dry, scented mist in the room.

Face and Nose Trimmer – An electronic personal essential, the face and nose trimmer has an interchangeable brush heads that trim unwanted hair gently and carefully. The skin does not get bruised nor irritated and regular trimming becomes easy and pain-free.

Electric Eyelash Curler – Finally, a cool innovative product that is every girl’s dream. It is small and slim enough to fit inside her make-up kit but sleek and functional to curl her lashes and open her eyes up. This cute beauty gadget operates on AAA battery.

Wall-mounted CD Player with Radio – Brighten up the room with great music using the Wall Mounted CD Player. First released in 2004, this iconic functional art piece has a power cable that acts as a power switch. You can mount it on various kinds of walls, including gypsum board walls, to save valuable space in your room. With built-in speakers that are deceptively loud and a power cord that doubles as an on/off switch, this impressive sound gadget is one of MUJI’s brilliant products in store.But more than being an entertainment display, the MUJI CD Player represents design ingenuityas it has received recognitions worldwide. In 2002, it received the German iF Gold Award and D&AD Award while in 2005, it was added in the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). How’s that for having a functional piece of art for your entertainment in the confines of your own home!
