Gifts for the Holidays

I have been busy these past few weeks buying gifts for my family and friends. I spent time choosing gifts for each one of them because I want it to be memorable and something that they would be really happy to receive. I had quite a hard time picking a gift for my favorite uncle who has just about everything in life. Since he smokes a lot and probably has smoked every brand there is, be it cheap or expensive, I decided to give him djarum black cigarettes. It is a kretek or clove cigarette rolled in black paper. It is made from natural Indonesian tobacco and is sold all over the world. I am sure he will totally love it.

Must-Have: Multi-way Dress

I am so not feeling well now so I resorted to browsing online in the hopes of making me feel better. Retail-therapy always works for me.

Today, I chanced upon Not On The High Street. Their site features a lot of gift items, from babies’ toys to sparkling jewelries. I made a few stops when I saw classic and timeless pearl necklaces. I simply adore them. As I continued browsing, I found a gorgeous Black Multi-way Dress. I want it! I have not seen something like it in the shops near me.

I have a thing with multi-way stuff. I fall in love with them the moment I see them. Let us just say that versatile stuff for me, are to die for. Why not? It is like owning several pieces but you are just paying for one. And no one can tell that unless you tell them the secret.

It is lovely, isn’t it? You can wear it in four different ways and I love all the styles! My personal favorite is the one on the top-left. This dress is perfect for evening parties, day-out to the mall or even for work. A friend of mine told me once that low-neckline dresses suits me well. Remembering that, the more I want this dress!

I will make an inquiry after I feed the little girl who has been bugging me as I write this one. Ta-ta!

What Do You Have in Your Christmas Wishlist?

We only have 21 days left before Christmas day. I have not done any shopping yet but I will, I hope. My sisters, whom I talk to via Viber, whenever we are all online already asked for my wish but I have nothing in mind. Actually, I have two items in my wish list, none of which they will give me for sure. I am wishing for a new laptop (or a tablet-laptop hybrid) and a pretty gold choker type necklace. I have been pretty good the whole year but I think my Santa has other expenses to prioritize so I have kind of accepted it already that I may not get any of my wish this year.

I do not want the usual clothes, shoes and bags anymore. I still have a handful of rarely used shoes. My clothes, I will upgrade my wardrobe when I get the space I need. The bags, I think I have enough. But if someone gives me another Coach bag, I will definitely say THANKS!!!!

And what do you know, as I was typing this post, I remembered I want a few more pans for my baking adventure! My sisters can definitely give those to me! Woot woot!!!!

So what do you have in your list?
