Instead of handing out cold, hard cash, earn the best ninang/ninong award with cute accessories for gifting. Hair clips and barrettes are super trendy, so choose varying styles, from chic pearl-studded designs for the ladies/ tweens to colorful snap clips for our bulinggits.

This year, make the first move and gift them something functional they can use for the whole year like planner or journal. If your cousin is on the creative side, opt for bullet journals wherein they can customize and design on their own. (Click here for more planner options!)
