Smartbox Is A Smart Gift

18 November 2010 By: Marlene18 Comments

“I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. Christmas is all around us, and so the feeling grows. It’s written on the wind, it’s everywhere we go.” It seems like the past Christmas hasn’t ended yet and now it’s here again. It’s the season for giving and receiving again. Sometimes it’s a surprise gift, sometimes it’s what we wished for. Christmas will never pass without emptying our pockets. For Christians around the world, it’s always a tradition to give something at Christmas. And the happiest are the children who always expect to get a gift from their parents or relatives. But adults deserve to receive gifts, too, though they may be more expensive than children’s gifts. Forget thinking about gifts for your teens, they always tell what they want and get what they want, if they’re lucky.

I saw these boxes at the mall many times and I thought they were music CD’s or something. I was curious so I looked and browsed once to find out what’s inside the CD box. But to my surprise, they weren’t CD’s at all! They were gifts with different themes. Smartbox™, as what they’re called, is like giving away a gift by way of a memorable experience. The categories vary from culinary to entertainment and good for the whole family, couples or your friends. It’s not a physical gift of thing you’re giving but an experience of a lifetime. Smart, eh?

You may be surprised if you receive a Smartbox™ and perhaps you wouldn’t know what to do. But don’t panic cos it’s like a gift check in a form of a box though it’s more options to choose than the former. Like, if you receive a Table for Two Smartbox, you choose which restaurant from the list you will spend the voucher. The Smartbox comes with a little book where you will find the options list so you don’t need to sweat thinking about where to present the voucher.

I like this idea of giving a Smartbox™. I do like to receive any of it, too (wink). It’s available in most countries in Europe, the USA, Canada and Japan. But it’s expanding fast so it won’t take long and soon you’ll find those smart boxes in your country, too.

    Smart gift indeed specially to someone who’s celebrating her birthday in the next couple of days. 🙂

      Amor, sino kayang magbibigay sa kin nito, hehee!

      Oo nga, I visited your site mga three times this week and I thought of asking you this weekend sana. It’s going to be a story to write on your blog, maybe.
      Aha, kaya pala doble ang kabisihan mo ha.
