12 Best Shoes & Watches to Gift This Christmas | SM Supermalls

The “Ber” months are officially here, and SM Supermalls kicks off the season with Gala to the Max! Whether you are shopping for a fashion-forward trendsetter, a dedicated sneakerhead, or someone looking for a classic timepiece, this guide covers the most-wanted shoes and watches available at SM Supermalls stores nationwide.

From retro sneakers and ballet-inspired flats to statement timepieces and classic watches, this list rounds up some of the most loved styles making the rounds right now.

Best Sneakers to Gift at SM Supermalls 

A good pair of sneakers is a safe pick pretty much every time, especially when you go for a style people already have on rotation.

L-R: New Balance 530 from ABC Mart and New Balance 9060 from JD Sports

At ABC Mart (now open in SM Megamall), the New Balance 530 proves some sneaker trends never fade. This retro-running shoe stays a fan favorite year after year, thanks to its sporty shape and Y2K appeal. Wear this pair with jeans for an easy everyday fit, or dress this look up for something more done-up.

For a bolder pick, head to JD Sports for the New Balance 9060. This futuristic take on the classic running shoe fits anyone who wants sneakers bigger, bolder, and impossible to miss.

L-R: Nike Field General and Shoes Lie Poetry SLP01 JP Low, both from Commonwealth

If the person you're shopping for leans toward understated, check Commonwealth's Nike Field General. This low-profile sneaker taps into the return of slim, vintage-inspired shoes this season.

The Shoes Like Pottery SLP01 JP Low, also at Commonwealth, suits someone who values simple, well-made sneakers. This clean, minimalist pair moves easily from casual to dressed-up looks.

Top Balletcore & Trendy Shoes for Her 

Ballet-inspired footwear stays popular, and the trend now goes way beyond flats. Ballet sneakers and Mary Janes give the classic shape a fresh, everyday update.

At Charles and Keith, the Emiko Satin Bow Mary Jane Flats add an elevated, feminine finish with a bow detail and satin-like sheen. This pair turns a simple holiday outfit into something standout.

At Capital, the adidas Originals by Jennie Superstar SQ Ballet mixes the recognizable Superstar shape with a ballet-inspired silhouette. Gift this pair to a friend who likes their fits with personality.

For a laid-back option, the Vans Mary Jane (also in Capital) brings the same feminine shape into a casual, street-style wardrobe. Pair this shoe with a dress or a skirt for an effortless look.

Best Retro & Sporty Watches for Everyday Wear 

Christmas gives you a good reason to lean into nostalgia.

L-R: Casio Vintage A140WE from The SM Store and CLEARLY GENT from Swatch

At The SM Store, the Casio Vintage A140WE channels the retro digital-watch trend with a metallic finish and an unmistakable throwback look. This small accessory gives an everyday outfit a Y2K-inspired update fast.

For a more playful pick, check Swatch's CLEARLY GENT. Its see-through design turns the watch into a statement accessory rather than a traditional timepiece, a fun gift for a friend who likes standout pieces.

Classic Watches Built to Last 

If the person on your list stays on the move more than seated, a sporty watch fits the bill.

L-R: One of the many colorways of the G-Shock GA-2100 from Casio, and the Baby-G BGD-10KG from @Tokyo

The G-Shock GA-2100 from Casio pairs a rugged, signature look with a slimmer profile, so this watch works beyond workouts and outdoor days.

For a more colorful option, @Tokyo also carries Casio Baby-G BGD-10KG that mixes the sporty Baby-G line with a fun, Japanese-inspired accessory feel. This gift stays playful without trying too hard.

For the classic watch lover

Not every gift needs to chase a trend. Some people would rather have one piece built to last for years, so go classic.

L-R: Seiko 5 from The Watch Republic and the Orient Classic RA-AC0M 38 Bambino in Gold/White from @Tokyo

A Seiko 5 from Watch Republic fits someone who values traditional watchmaking and automatic movements. Its classic styling gives this watch staying power, moving easily from daily wear to more polished occasions.

For a dressier choice, check the Orient Classic RA-AC0M 38 Bambino Gold/White, also at @Tokyo. A compact 38mm case and a gold-and-white color combination make this watch an elegant pick for someone who loves timeless accessories.

Whether you shop for a sneakerhead, a balletcore girl, a retro fan, or a classic watch lover, SM Supermalls gives you enough options to go all out this Christmas. Check the mall directory for store locations, and look up a branch near you if you need a mall near me open now option for a quick stop before your schedule fills up.

Swipe your SM Advantage Card benefits, or SMAC, every time you shop, and learn how to earn SMAC points with every purchase. Watch your SMAC card benefits add up while you check names off your list, then put them toward your next haul.

Watch for ongoing mall promos and mall sales, and time a visit around the next payday sale weekend for extra savings.

Bring the family along for the trip, grab a bite at the SM food court, and turn a shopping run into real bonding time together. SM Supermalls also lines up mall events through December, from tree lightings to gift-wrapping stations, so treat a shopping trip as one of the best things to do in SM this season. Pair the errand with other family day ideas SM offers, like a movie, a walk around the shops, or a stop at a favorite cafe.

With the holidays still weeks away, now stands as the right time to start your list, hit the mall stores near you, and shop to the max this Gala to the Max season.
