my precious

2007-02-15T03:53:00.000+08:00

My Valentine's gift - it is a simple, yet classy link bracelet in silver from Mondera. The inspiration is from my previous entry on charm bracelets. I will not check how much it costs online, though it is readily available. Priceless. :)

bible on valentine's day gifts

2007-02-14T04:57:00.000+08:00

VaLeNtInE's DaY

Sometimes we really do need to take a step back from our busy, hectic lives. Have you done something to make someone you love or care happy? A simple gift with lots of sincerity counts. A thoughtful and romantic dinner for two matters. 3 stalks of roses with a handwritten card (card doesn't have to be hand made) delights. Pause and think. I hope you will have a lovely Valentine's Day :)

Another opinion

Here is extract from Chronicles of a Soldier about her thoughts on Valentine's Day gifts. Enjoy the entire entry here!

Here are some valentine rules to help you.
- Do not even try to pick a fight right before Valentine to excuse your pathetic ass from gift exchange….we are soooo on to you!!!!
- Do not buy anything from Victoria Secret, That is sooooo played out so be original
- Do not give all the women in your life the same gift! That is just wicked!!! It somehow leaks and it’s a major blow to our ego!
- You don’t have to spend a whole lot of money, be creative !
- Dinner and a movie does not count as Valentine presents!
- If you must send flowers, send them to her job, women looooovvvve the attention!
- Do not recycle gifts you received!
- Just because you are married now does not mean she doesn’t get a gift!
- Do not borrow money from one chick to buy another chick a gift! (Believe me it happens!) thats just tacky!
- Perishables are not ideal gifts (We are not in Naija so save the sweet sensations for yo mama!), you want to create a lasting impression.

have a good laugh

2007-02-10T04:00:00.000+08:00

Here is my Valentine's gift to AL - we are going to watch the Beach Blanket Babylon show! It is a highly popular and entertaining performance running for years in San Francisco! I am sure we'll have a good time :) . Depending what you sit, the prices range from $70 - $40.

discover the secret of sleep poses

Interesting gift for your Valentine and unravel your secrets today! Learn more about the book or get it here. At $11

macho grill

2007-02-07T05:29:00.000+08:00

I do not like boxing - I don't really understand the use of brutal force or violence. I do not see any connection a boxer can have with a open grill. I have to admit I am wrong. This fantastic grill can cook bacon on one end and fry eggs and pancakes on the other. It's a timesaver so you don't have to wait long for your next meal. Good gift for macho men since it is endorsed by a famous boxer! At $50

your baby notes

2007-02-06T05:22:00.000+08:00

Sometime back I chanced upon this baby journal. Today I found this baby book somewhat similar. It's a really sweet gift for new mums and mums-to-be. I love the cover. At $18.

chocolate and diamonds

2007-02-02T03:56:00.000+08:00

(via Shoppingblog.com)

2007-02-01T05:30:00.000+08:00

(via Chubbyhubby)

Online fortune...FOUND!

2007-01-30T07:45:00.000+08:00

Believe it or not, I actually went to Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company in San Francisco to get fortune cookies! It is a real old and run-down place but you could smell the cookies a few shops away. To my disappointment, they do not have individually wrapped cookies! But it's a worthwhile trip as the dim sum at Chinatown(buns, siew mais, shrimp dumplings, egg tarts - 3 each) costs only $5! I ended ordering it online for a bag of 53 individually wrapped cookies. I feel contended. My co-workers will be pleased. At $6

finding my fortune

2007-01-27T06:44:00.000+08:00

I decided it is boring to bring chocolates (again) back for my co-workers in Singapore. Yes, the other likely candidate is fortune cookies! There are conflicting claims as to who invented fortune cookies but I'm 99.99% sure that it is invented here (in the US). It is interesting to find out what the tiny slip of paper says - as long as it is something good! I need to find out where to get these fortune cookies quick!

getting more chocolate

2007-01-26T07:42:00.000+08:00

I'm not sure but I think my sister will like this bag. It is roomy (height 13" x width 13" x depth 4") which can hold textbooks and papers for marking. It has a solid bottom which will keep the bag in shape. And I can't stop thinking about chocolate, it even looks good on a bag. Yummy. At $50

another pretty little thing

2007-01-25T05:27:00.000+08:00

Honestly, I didn't find this wristlet attractive till I saw it. A friend of my sister enlisted my help to bring this back (to Singapore). It doesn't hold much as the name suggests. The framed clasp adds elegance to the design but I'm not sure what is the purpose (or maybe we don't need one). With a hefty price tag for a small bag, it better look good. At $138

go green

2007-01-24T07:11:00.000+08:00

Do you know that the average child in the US uses 5,000 disposable diapers during the 30-month period before toilet training? The more alarming figure is that disposable diapers can take up to 150 years to decompose. This is what makes the cloth diaper more appealing (and environmentally concious)! It is also more comfortable and breathable, unlike its predecessor. Get this gift to new mothers as a small step to helping the environment. At $18

i can't stop

2007-01-23T07:20:00.000+08:00

There is something about Marshmallows, Macadamia and Chocolate together. I had a bar of this great chocolate from Hawai'i and can't stop thinking about it at work. Fortunately, I still have some left to savour. Send this tasty treat for friends as a gift from Hawai'i. At $4-$13

Peacock earrings

2007-01-20T05:26:00.000+08:00

I received this lovely pair of handmade earrings from a co-worker. It is a gift from India. The intricate weaving and beautiful colors on the earrings is just amazing. It resembles a feather from a peacock!Thanks S!

Going Hawai'ian

2007-01-19T05:10:00.000+08:00

The cold winter now makes me yearn for the hawai'ian sunny beaches though I was just there barely 3 days ago! I remember seeing the hawai'ian flowery printed shirts all over those tacky tourist stores and they were not cheap. A better way to get an affordable yet authentic gift is to hit the local Walmart or Target stores. You can get this cool shirt for the boys at just $10.

100% Kona Coffee

2007-01-17T05:00:00.000+08:00

Aloha! The perfect gift from Big Island, Hawaii is simply a bag of Kona coffee. Grown on the volcanic slopes of Kona, the coffee just taste and smell amazing. I got a bag of 100% Kona coffee for my parents who are coffee lovers. There are also coffee blends where Kona coffee might just be 10% of the mixture. At $15

Power Bag

2007-01-12T05:18:00.000+08:00

Heart warming parcel

2007-01-10T05:27:00.000+08:00

(A) Ginseng tea (B) My parcel (address blurred for privacy)

Hurray! Another huge envelope from home! I missed the package and had to pick up at the USPS office which was really crowded on a Saturday morning. This time I had more sauces, tom yum soup base and ginseng tea from mum. The interesting point is the total value of the stuff probably cost about $12 but it costs $36 for postage! Yes, it is not cheap. Thanks Sis!

Be charmed

2007-01-08T02:40:00.000+08:00

I came across this while reading a news article online. It's about the rise of an internet jewelry retailer, with sales just behind Tiffany and Company! Given the lower overhead costs, they are able to offer lower prices online compared to Main Street retailers. Surely this is better way to find gifts for bridemaids or flowergirls at an affordable budget. The charm bracelet is pretty on its own, you can add on charms to customise the look. Bracelet at $30

Monkey-ing around

2007-01-08T02:32:00.000+08:00
