A beauty/wellness treatment e-voucher (₱1000+)
When was the last time you pampered yourself to a beauty treatment? (If you’re like me, the answer would definitely be “too long ago”.) Perhaps it’s time to change that — and because homegrown beauty platform Parlon’s having their Beauty Festival, you can make the most of their deals!
You can get beauty and wellness treatment e-vouchers for you and your friends, making the most of up to ₱40,000 in discounts! From spa experiences like massages and body scrubs to beauty procedures like microblading and Keratin treatments, it’s a great way to feel good and save!

Push pop fidget toys (₱39)
Via Shopee
You might have already seen these bubble fidget toys on Tiktok and ASMR accounts on YouTube, but if you’re not familiar with them, they’re not just for kids — they’re actually quite therapeutic! Fidget toys like these cute push pops can decrease stress and anxiety with repetitive, rhythmic movements. It’s like popping bubble wrap, except this time with something you can reuse!
Get it on Shopee.
Meditation Cards (₱199)
Via Shopee
Know someone who could use some stress management techniques? Are you that someone? No judgment here, but this deck of cards might help. The Stress Less Cards deck has 50 exercises designed to help you relieve stress and deal with anxiety. You can use it in any situation — on the commute, at work, while doing errands, or before going to bed.

Face Roller (₱32 – discounted price)
Via Shopee
Skincare junkies are probably already familiar with jade rollers, and while the jury’s still out on whether or not they actually do anything, one thing’s for sure: going the extra mile to gently massage your skin with cool jade will make you feel like a million bucks — even when your face roller costs less than $1.

Reading Pillow (₱1,545)
