THIS CHRISTMAS, GIVE THE GIFT OF CHOICE WITH SM GIFT CARDS AND GIFT PASSES

The countdown to Christmas has begun, which means it's officially time to start thinking about gifts.

We all have a list of loved ones to shop for and finding the perfect present for each one can be a real challenge. There are those who are easy to give gifts to and ones who even tell you straight what they'd like. But most of the time, it feels like you have to read people's minds to be able to choose something they'd love. Which one? What color? Is this the right size? Are they still into this? But wait, what if they already have this?

Then there are those people who are extra-hard to buy gifts for — the ones who seem to have everything or never want anything. You think and you think, overwhelmed with choices, and what should be a joyful tradition ends up becoming a source of stress instead.

But there are gifts that are sure to bring a smile to your loved ones' faces—SM Gift Cards and Gift Passes. Take away the guesswork and let them choose exactly what they want. Thoughtful and flexible, these gifts give your loved ones the power of choice. They get endless options, you get peace of mind. Win-win.

Whatever it is they'd like — clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, toys, beauty products, things for their home or their kitchen, cool gadgets - they're going to find it at SM, a place known for having it all.
