A Wonderful Gift

This is what I got for Christmas!

Mom Lori gave it to me. It was hers. She told me that it may not have much of a value but it is something she wants me to have.

I love it! and I love the fact that she gave me something she owns and she values.

Thanks Mom. I love you.

Gifts with a little heart

It's all too easy to just go out and buy something for your friends and family for Christmas. But that can also get unnecessarily expensive. I mean, if someone cares about you, they don't want you to break the bank just to get them a gift! So I try to come up with neat and creative homemade gifts to give to people for the holidays. Plus, I have a lot more fun making and personalizing the gifts anyway.

I've made food mixes and stuck them in jars and neat looking containers, but I thought that I would come up with some new stuff this year, so I went looking online for some inspiration. When I was doing that I saw some stuff on an internet company offer and decided to click here to order the service.

I decided that one of the best homemade gifts that I'm going to make this year is a little blanket for my new niece. I had a little blanket when I was little that I loved taking with me everywhere, so I bought some bunny printed fabric that I think is going to make a really cute blanket.

Mother's Day Gift Idea

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bliss Living. All opinions are 100% mine.

--------------
Mother's day is in two weeks. Gathering ideas for the perfect mother's day gift takes a while that is why Bliss Living Jewelry is providing everyone with the perfect mother's day gift idea for convenience. They have a huge selection of Mother's Day Jewelry that will be perfect for all mothers out there.

My husband is asking me what do I want for Mother's Day. Perhaps I have to tell him how much I like the Puffy Gold Heart Charm Necklace. This necklace is unique and it looks very classy. It is accented with a handcrafted gold heart charm with ruby birthstone. Silver disc and gold heart charm hang beautifully on a gold chain. Now, tell me who can resist this one?

Mother's Day are special because this is the day which is dedicated to all the mothers. It is the day when we can show love and gratitude to our mothers for all the hard work they did for us. This mother's day, I will be missing my Mom who is miles away from me, but she knows how thankful I am for all the sacrifices she made and for all the love she has given us. Despite the distance, I still want to make Mother's Day special for her that is why I am shopping for a perfect mother's day necklace for her at blissliving.com. I am loving this website because besides their wonderful products they are offering free shipping on all orders over $99!

Gift Idea for Hubby

My dear hubby will be celebrating his birthday soon. I have to find something that will be special for him. I am looking for a wonderful gift that he can use. He kept on telling me that he doesn't want a gift from us (Andrea and me). But, I can't let this special occasion to pass by without giving him something special.

Right now, my idea is to give him one of those seiko diamond watches. He doesn't like wearing a watch when he is working but the watch that I have in mind is a Seiko SRL001 Men's Stainless Steel Le Grand Sport Retrograde Date Silver Dial with Diamonds. This watch will be perfect to wear when we go out on date or when we dressed up for parties and such.

I am still looking for more gift ideas. Do you have any suggestion?

Chocolate Gift Baskets

Christmas is fast approaching and now is the time to think for a perfect gift for friends and families. I have friends that are well-off so it is hard for me to give them something for Christmas because I know they have everything that I can think of.

I am thinking that sending them chocolate gift baskets will be perfect. The chocolate basket as you can see in the picture below is Pure Hawaiian chocolate infused with spiritual energy. Scientific testing has demonstrated that consumption of Intentional Chocolate has a positive effect on mood, energy, and overall sense of well-being.


If you don't have any idea what to give your friends, send them chocolate gift basket. Order it from intentionalchocolate.com and you will be assured that the chocolate is 100% pure Hawaiian Vintage chocolate.

Religious Gift Suggestion

This weekend my sister Menmen will be attending the Christening ceremony of Agnes' daughter. Agnes is our good friend who is also from Bohol. We were discussing things on phone last night when she asked me suggestions on what would be the best thing to give. I told her that she should check the items at baptism gifts now. I am sure she will have a lot of choices if she will shop at baptism gifts now. I am a customer of this website and I like it very much that is why I recommended it to my sister. I have purchased some rosary gift set from this website and I am very pleased with their products.

If you need religious gifts for any occasion, you should check baptismgiftsnow.com!

Graduation Gift for my Sister

My sister Menmen who owns the blog called Life in Transition is back to school. She is in her last year of her nursing degree. I am so proud of her because she is doing so well in school. She passed all her subjects with flying color. I know she strives hard to maintain her academic scholarship.

Anyway, on her graduation I want to give her with a movado series 800 ladies watch. I want to buy the Movado 2600033 Ladies 800 Series Ladies Stainless Steel Silver Dial Diamonds for her. I think she will like this watch because it is scratch resistant and has a precise Swiss quartz movement.

Look at the picture below....what do you think?

Birthday Gifts

My birthday is not yet until next week. Today, when we went to see Mom and Dan, my birthday gifts (yes gifts... as in plural hehe) were already in a box! I was surprised of course because it is still early to receive a gift.. but hey I am not complaining!

Anyway, Mom handed me a box full of wrapped things but she cautioned me to open the biggest one last... So here was I carefully opening my presents... after I read the 2 cards (1 card from Mom Lori, Dan and Terri and 1 card from Bosley and Buffy, the dogs) then I opened a wrapped cantaloupe, a wrapped clementines, a pair of socks, a small chopping board, some cadbury candies and the last big one which I need to be careful opening as Mom cautioned was a COACH PURSE!

I was having fun opening the little gifts, the wrapped fruits and other goodies were silly and funny. When I opened the big package I felt that it was a purse, when I saw it I thought they were joking with me and bought me and imitation coach purse. Mom and I always joke about owning a Coach Purse... But when I checked the purse, I was shocked to see that it was an original Coach Purse! My first reaction was "Why did you buy this? This is expensive!"

To make the story short, I was surprised with my birthday gifts! Oh I am not just surprised I was shocked of what I got! but I LOVE IT!

Thank so much Mom and Dan and Terri. Of course, thanks to my Babe who didn't spoil the surprise.... Thanks Mom for the effort of wrapping those silly stuffs.. hey, I love clementines and I now learn to like cantaloupe. I always wanted a small chopping board because the big ones are too much trouble to clean up ( i am lazy). The socks are nice and of course the cadbury is my favorite.

Personalized Gift

Dave's birthday is coming up. I wanted to give him something that is not expensive yet has a sense of personal touch. I am out of idea. I could not think of a perfect one that he woul love to have.

Upon browsing the internet, I found threadsmith.com, a website that offers custom embroidery. Perfect! I could make a personalized gift for my husband. The website offers a very easy way to make your own creation. All you just need to do is to select the product that you want to customize, make/edit your design (you can either make your own or choose from their template), order it and then they will deliver it to you. It is that easy! I can't wait to have the item in my hand.

I am also excited to tell my friend, who is expecting her first baby girl to check their personalized baby gifts. I am sure she will love to have those for her baby girl.

Hostess Gifts

Whenever we are invited for a dinner or something, one of my problems is what to give the hostess. There are times that choosing hostess gifts takes a long time because of so many things to consider.

Hostess gifts should be tasteful and elegant. It should somehow reflect to the personality or the good taste of the hostess. It does not need to be expensive. The goal of the gift is to show appreciation thus it is important to give something thoughtful.

Finding the perfect gift for a hostess is difficult that is why Life123.com offers different hostess gift ideas to choose from. Their gift ideas are mostly low cost yet thoughtful.

Meaningful Gift

The last time I was with my mom, I brought her to religious section of the store we went to. There she bought a couple of rosary bracelets and some novena guides.

I wanted to give my mom something special for her birthday but I still can't decide what to give her. I want something that will reflect who she is as a person. Mom is a very religious type of person so it came to my mind that I should look for Religious Gifts.

I found a site that offers wide variety of religious gifts and it took me sometime to choose because they have so many choices. They offer a lot of God's Word Inspired Home Decor and Gifts.


When I found this timepiece, I know this is the one I want to give to her. I want her to remember that she is a good example to us in serving the Lord, everytime she will look at the clock.
