00:00 If you're looking for a special Christmas gift,
00:03 why not try personalizing a gift made of ganchillo?
00:08 Here are some budget-friendly gift ideas in Katrina Sun's report.
00:13 Bags, clothes, flowers, and even dolls.
00:21 All of these are handmade from the ganchillo.
00:24 These were made by 24-year-old Julia Cecilia Santos.
00:29 She started just a few hours ago,
00:31 until she had customers.
00:34 What inspired me was that I wanted to make clothes
00:38 because I'm a fashionista.
00:40 I don't like spending a lot of money.
00:43 So I thought, what if I crochet my own clothes?
00:46 Julia's Pocker Crochet is not a joke.
00:49 It takes her 15 minutes to 3 days,
00:52 depending on what she wants to make.
00:55 So now, we'll try it.
00:57 Her products can also be personalized,
01:00 just like this Taylor Swift-inspired doll.
01:03 If you're fond of flowers,
01:06 there's a budget-friendly dried flowers eco-friendly wreath.
01:09 It was started in 2021 by Noor Ayn Burse Mamowalas.
01:18 Young people can buy this.
01:20 It's less than P100.
01:22 If they're looking for a big bouquet,
01:25 it's a bit expensive.
01:27 It's not as budget-friendly as the other ones.
01:29 So I thought of a product that's small,
01:34 but unique.
01:35 Dried flowers can last for months,
01:38 depending on how you care for them.
01:40 You can have them delivered to your house,
01:42 so you won't have to worry about Christmas rush.
