Hostess Gift

So I received an invitation to a housewarming party next week.  My friend, the hostess loves to cook and entertain her friends.  She has dinner parties at least twice a month.   As housewarming gift, I have decided to get her this lovely Bows and Roses apron from NeatoShop.com.  I love its strapless design with roses print.  It has adjustable ties at the waist.

Housewarming Gifts

So a dear friend of mine has just moved into her new home.  She just called me a while ago and asked if I know where to get the electric pool heater. Then she invited me to her housewarming party in 2 week’s time.  I have been looking around for a housewarming gift and I saw a couple of things which I think she would like at ThreadSense.com.

 

Three Faces of Buddha Canvas.

 

Cathedral Distressed Birdcage

 

Not sure which one to choose for the housewarming gift now.

Christmas Gifts I Heart

How was your Christmas everyone?  I had a good one.  Spent a few awesome days with my family and friends.  We did nothing but eat and chat.  I hope your Christmas was a good one.  Cute and quirky gifts is the theme for this year.  I received a few lovely items such as the Deer Me porcelain dish which is just perfect for the entryway.  I can use it to put my best selection of custom coins or display my sparkling accessories.

I also receive a beautiful set of Housewarm and Tasty Bowl.

Gift Buckets For Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching. Have you started your gift shopping yet? Well I have started mine about 2 weeks ago. I just love shopping for gifts. The best part is wrapping them. I also love to check out some crafty blogs or Pinterest for creative gift wrapping ideas. While gift-shopping online after I have helped my friend to look at some water fountains for her office , I stumbled upon these lovely storage buckets at Chewing The Cud. They are so pretty and very functional too.   Besides using as gift buckets, they can be used to store knick-knacks at home too.

Gift For A Friend’s New Workplace

A friend of mine just started her own professional cd duplication business and is now operating in an office downtown.  I would like to get her a gift for her new office and was looking around for some ideas last night.   When I was at Urban Outfitters, I stumbled upon this cute Cork Letter wall decoration.  This fun and functional piece is great for decorating and it can work as a mini tack board too.   I think my friend is going to like this in her office.

Reusable Wine Bag

I cannot wait to visit my friend to see her new kitchen cabinets.  She managed to get very good discount rta kitchen cabinets for her apartment.  My friend who loves to cook is over the moon with the new cabinets.   She has invited a few friends over to her place this weekend for dinner.   I have decided to bring a bottle of wine over for the dinner.  Yesterday I spotted this Bazaar Reusable Wine Bag from MixTStudio which I think will be perfect for the wine I would be bringing over to my friend’s.    The bag is made from fabric-like paper and is resistant to water and unable to tear.  This material is just great for the bag to be used again and again.

Housewarming Party

A friend has invited me to her housewarming party this weekend. She just moved into her new home about a month ago. My friend loves to sing very much and because of this, she has converted one of the rooms in her house in a karaoke room. She said it is more fun for parties and she plans to host many more in her new home.   As hostess gift, I intend to get her a bottle of wine and wrap it up with a nice tea towel like what is shown in the photo below.  I got this idea from Pinterest.

 

Pretty neat eh?

Strapping Storage Bins For Children’s Room

I am loving these colouful storage bins from Land of Nod.  I bet they look just great in children’s bedroom or playroom.  These storage bins are nice and deep which make them perfect to hole toys, books or whatever knick-knacks.  They are woven over a sturdy steel frame.    Available in a variety of colours like blue, pink, orange, green and more.   If you are looking for some storage bins to organize the room, well do check out Land of Nod.    An idea just struck me.  I can even use them to make adorable baby gift baskets. My good friend will be giving birth next month so I think this would be a perfect gift. I can put some baby clothes, socks and bibs into one of the bins and wrap it with a transparent wrapping paper.   Nice?
