Honest question: do you think you were part of Santa’s nice list last year? Or do you think your name was on the naughty roster instead? Whatever your answer is, it’s a good time to remind yourself that you’ve made it to the new year and that you deserve to give yourself a pat on the back regardless of your journey.
And as we begin 2025, taking time to acknowledge the good things that happened in the past year is necessary as you start a new page in your book. So here are ten ways that you can celebrate yourself and the people you love this new year.
- Gift a spa date for your parents.
Being a parent is a 24/7 responsibility, and what’s a better gift for them than a relaxing spa day where they can only focus on themselves? If you want a more personalized touch, you can even make your own ‘coupons’ that they can use whenever they want where they can get a ‘free day of cooking’ or ‘pick up little siblings day’ from you.
- Give your siblings their own budget for their birthdays.
Give them ‘credits’ that they can spend for whatever their heart wants on their birthday. Not only will this make sure that you get them exactly what they want, but it also teaches them how to work with a budget.
- Go on a ‘No-Internet’ day with your significant other.
Make the most out of your bonding sessions with your S.O. by going on a day without any devices or access to the internet. Instead, try doing other activities that can help you connect minus the distractions, like a couple’s painting session or even playing board games.
- Take your best friend out on a date.
Best friends deserve the same love that other people in our lives get. Dedicate just a day of bonding with your BFF by doing a set of activities that they chose themselves. Quality time matters!
- Upskill yourself.
You’ve done great last year and surely, 2025 only has better things waiting for you. Welcome the new year by investing back in yourself through upskilling. Pick up an online course, learn a new language, or maybe finally get into that driving school. You’ll thank yourself for sure in the end.
- Dedicate a day to your grandparents.
For many of our Lolo’s and Lola’s, there is no better gift than a day with the rest of their family. One-up your bonding session with them by holding a party we all used to enjoy while we were kids, complete with dance numbers and all! Better yet, introduce them to a new party favorite like Nestlé Temptations Extra Creamy Mocha & Cashew and Extra Creamy Cheese. Enjoy the leveled-up goodness of these two flavors and make your bonding moment extra special.
- Give your fur babies an extra special treat.
This list wouldn’t be complete without giving our furry best friends their special gift. This year, get them something that can level up their enrichment time, like a cat wheel, interactive dog treat puzzles, and many more.
- Help your work BFF relax.
Let’s admit it. Most of us cannot survive without our work BFFs making our days a little brighter. Upgrade your gift for them with a custom set of aromatherapy oils for any work-related woes. This-could-have-been-an-email migraine buster? Overtime saver blend? You’ll be their lifesaver.
- Enjoy a cheat day with your gym buddy.
So you’ve made significant lifestyle changes last year, and most of it you have achieved thanks to your favorite fitness buddy. After all the sweat and the unwavering dedication, give yourselves the time to enjoy a day of just indulging whatever you are craving. Pizza? Ice cream? Remember, it is part of good change to accept that sometimes, it is okay to give in to our temptations.
- Give yourself the time to recenter.
Start the year by thanking the one who matters the most—YOU. Give yourself the luxury of quiet by dedicating a day just for yourself and spending it to reminisce about all the ways you’ve leveled up. While doing so, give yourself a sweet treat like Nestlé Temptations Extra Creamy Mocha and Cashew or Extra Creamy Cheese; because you can AND because you’ve earned it.
This 2025, make your celebrations even sweeter with Nestlé Temptations’ two new improved flavors. The Nestlé Temptations Extra Creamy Mocha & Cashew is a perfect mocha treat filled with roasted cashew nuts, peanuts, and choco bits that is sure to make it a favorite at our party tables. The Nestlé Temptations Extra Creamy Cheese, on the other hand, is decked with chunks of grated cheese, making it a favorite addition to charcuteries during social nights.
You can check out Nestlé Temptations Extra Creamy Mocha and Cashew and Extra Creamy Cheese in all leading supermarkets and partner stores nationwide. The two new improved flavors are available in 1.3 liters and can also be ordered from food delivery apps FoodPanda and GrabMart. Check out Nestle Temptations Facebook page here for more flavors.
