Congratulations to all the winners!

If an album is a bit pricey for you, then a photocard of your friend's bias will do! A lot of K-Pop fans are really into collecting K-Pop photocards. An album photocard mostly ranges from 80 pesos - 300 pesos per photocard, depending on the member.

But if you're wondering why other photocards are pricier than this, it's probably because it's a limited one, a pre-order benefit, or some sellers bought those photocards in a higher price.

You can buy photocards on Facebook Marketplace groups and BNS Twitter. But of course, make sure to be alert when buying online.

If your friend is a photocard collector, then these items are a must-have so that their photocards will be safe.

There are actually different types of binder - A4, A5, Collector's Book, etc. But for this photo, it is the A4 Binder. The 9P sleeves are usually seen in this kind of binder. They need this to store all their photocards together. Plus, it'll be easier for them to check their collections.

The binder have no pocket sleeves inside so you need to buy it separately. The pocket sleeve is where you put your photocards, postcards, bookmarks, and other paper-type inclusions. There are different types of pocket sleeves, but I'll be talking about that more in my next blogs.

For now, the highly recommended sleeves for A4 Binder, is a 9P UltraPro Sleeves.

Recently, these card protector sleeves have been in demand. Before placing the photocards in the UltraPro sleeves, collectors usually put it these first to add some protection to the photocards.

Sultan Card Sleeve has different sizes but the most common ones are these two. Normal size photocards fits well in these card sleeves. You can actually buy these in Shopee.

If you love supporting small business and artists, this is a good thing to buy for your friends. Some fan-made merch are cheap but it's really cute. Mostly, these are fanarts of K-Pop groups or K-Drama actors and actresses. These fan artists are usually on Twitter and IG.

It may not be an official merch, but still it's a merchandise that your friend will be happy to get especially when the art style is so good.

Who wouldn't want a box full of Korean snacks? I mean, food is life. Since there are a lot of Korean Marts nowadays, Korean snacks are easy to get already. A snack box is also good when watching K-Dramas because you can eat those while watching.

These Korean socks really are good gifts this Christmas. It's something your K-Pop or K-Drama fan friend can use that is still related with Korea. There are different designs. Some are chibis of the famous Korean artists. It's cheap but useful. Same goes with the T-Shirt and Hoodies. It can be useful everyday.

Although most season's greetings won't arrive here in the Phippines this year, it's still a great gift for your friend. This is quite expensive (more expensive than the K-Pop albums) since this can be used the whole year! It consists of calendars, photocards, postcards, and a lot of different inclusions.
