The holidays is a perfect time to take a break from one's usual hectic grind. Unfortunately, for most of us, the holidays also brings with it its share of errands which threatens to deprive us of our much-needed break, afterall. To ease your gift giving load, may we suggest sharing the gift of music this holiday season.

     Gingersnaps – the leading children and maternity clothing line known for its unique and innovative designs, has once again paved the way for another industry first, by coming out with its own, limited edition music CD exclusively created for Gingersnaps by EMI Music Philippines.

     Gingersnaps For The Soul, Music To Uplift The Spirit – the music CD, is the perfect companion for parents who want to squeeze in moments of relaxation amidst their busy day whether at home looking after the kids or a day in the office when one definitely needs a quick recharge, or for those who simply enjoy the pleasures of soothing music in the background at certain points in their day.

     The CD is a compilation of carefully-selected musical pieces from Sarah Brightman, Vienna Boys Choir, Charlotte Church, Kate Winslett, and more. It has a total of 13 tracks and covers a range of musical styles, so there's surely something for everyone.

     And helping Gingersnaps spread the spirit of giving this holiday season is XS86 Men For Others Foundation – founded by Xavier School's Alumni Batch of '86 whose primary goal is to serve others through educational empowerment for children of the poor. Through XS86 Men For Others Foundation, Gingersnaps is able to reach out and share blessings with the Lumad children (an indigenous tribe in Mindanao) because all CD sales will be donated to the Pamulaan Lumad Learning Center – a non-profit organization, with a DECS-approved educational program that uses a curriculum that is relevant to the Lumads' needs and realities in life. This simply means that every CD you buy helps in the education of a Lumad child.
