The SM store of today: Their gift registry

Manila Bulletin

|

August 24, 2025

(Part I)

Recently, I was invited to the housewarming party of a young couple, and I got myself stressed out wondering what would be the appropriate gift to get them, as I wanted to be sure it would be super-useful, and right up their alley.

Of course, I did not take a good look at the invite, and a friend told me the couple had signed up at the SM Store Gift Registry, and there was a link in the invite I could opt to use.

Got intrigued by that and as I live by SM Makati, had the chance to visit the SM Store Gift Registry on the fifth floor, and was pleasantly surprised by the attention and quality of service the staff afforded me, and how they took me through the process of registering. That I was looking for a gift for someone who had registered posed no problem, and they proceeded to show me the array of selected gift items of the couple. The selection covered a diverse range of prices, and it was a sure-win proposition, as all the items had been pre-selected by the couple.
