Now, even if Christmas parties aren’t highly recommended given the health risk, one can still share the joy of the season through some thoughtful gifts to help your loved ones brace the new normal way of living.

Here are some gift ideas that you might want to consider giving under the new normal this Christmas.

FACE SHIELDS
