Gifting food is often easier than picking an item for each person on your gifting list. Food can be consumed, easily bought in bulk, and usually doesn’t end up among items that remain unused by a recipient.
But it can also be tricky, especially because many food items have short expiration dates. Plus if you’re giving it during birthdays and Christmases, people’s fridges and pantries are usually full and your gift might not be consumed right away.
Here we’ve listed several food gift ideas and healthy snacks that have longer expiration dates so your recipient can enjoy them for longer. These items are also available through online stores in the Philippines, helping you save time and avoid traffic jams especially if you’re buying gifts for the holidays.
