The Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift

Admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:06:05 +0000

I stumbled upon these adorable Heart Cup and Saucer sets from The Spoon Sisters yesterday while my other half was busy teleconferencing in the other room. These china cups come in a set of 6. They are so unique and definitely will make a conversation piece at the party. These cups and saucers are great if you want to share a cup of tea or coffee with your loved one. They also make great Valentine’s Day gift.

Before I start to iron the medical uniforms, let me tell you something about what I want this Christmas. Being a big fan of home decor or you can say that I am a decoraholic, I love receiving gifts that are meant for my humble abode. I especially love handmade items. So, for those who are still trying to figure out what to get for me, here are some hints *tee hee*

Something Gray And Yellow

Remember that I mentioned earlier about my friend who is renovating her home and her favourite colours are yellow and gray? I just saw some really great bedding products at Rough Linen. These fine bedlinens are made from natural linen. I just love its texture. I think my friend would be interested in getting them for her newly renovated home. Actually I don’t mind getting them a linen set or ms70 gold eagles as housewarming gifts. The photo below is from Rough Linen’s website. I love how driftwoods are used as headboard.

I have a housewarming party to attend in 2 week’s time. A good friend of mine has moved into 3 bedroom apartment in downtown. I cannot wait to see her beautiful home. Since my friend loves to host dinners and parties at home, I am thinking of buying something unique for her home. There are a few things which I love from Ruche. Still cannot decide which one I should get for my friend.

A good friend’s birthday is coming up and I have been looking around for a gift for her. My friend loves to bake and I thought perhaps I could get her some baking items or kitchen ware.

My cousin has just moved into her new apartment about 2 weeks ago and she is planning a housewarming party. I have not visited her new home yet but I heard that she has decorated it tastefully. My cousin loves the shabby chic style and she has filled her home with lots of rustic furniture. Besides a housewarming gift, I am planning to bring over some delicious dipped caramel apples and strawberries from Berries.com. I am sure these delectable treats are going to be a hit at the housewarming party.

I have been invited to the Christening of my good friend’s baby girl. The christening will take place in 2 week’s time. I have been looking around for personalized christening gifts for my friend’s daughter but could not find anything nice until I discovered Personal Creations. This online store has a huge range of unique gifts for every special event. I found just what I wanted at Personal Creations.

I love this Girl Ways Framed Canvas which would look great on the wall of the nursery

I am also getting this Pink Lamb Bible which I think is very cute and a great keepsake.

I came across some really cool accessories for home from Elvis & Kresse last night. Thought I would share them with you here. Elvis & Kresse collect fire brigade hoses from genuine de-commissioned British fire stations and turn them into lifestyle accessories. 50% of their profits go back to the Fire Fighters Charity. Here are the stylish items made from reclaimed fire hose for the home.
