As college students, sticking to a budget can be challenging. There are things that can make a dent on your savings: academic costs, unforeseen expenses, and the inevitable “I-deserve-this-after-a-toxic-week” purchases.
With the holidays coming up, help your friends press the brake on their spending. Give the perfect money-saving gift to tell them “Wake up, sis. It’s time to save money.”
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SM STORE
Save your friends from unnecessary expenses and save their holidays.
1. Sleeping eye mask

Give your friend an eye mask to keep them from browsing the sale rack or seeing a buy-one-take-one promo. Plus, this will definitely help improve their Zs.
2. Fuzzy sandals

They’re a cute, subtle reminder to motivate them to get back on their feet—and a little something to break their fall after seeing their ATM balance.
3. A box of tissues

Props for when they ask their parents for additional allowance. Just the perfect amount of ply-thickness for crocodile tears.
4. SM Gift Card

Give your friend a gift card to spend on something they need for the coming year. (Note that the operative word is “need.”) They’ll be motivated to spend within budget because of the set amount per card and completely cashless transaction.
