Hubby is busy in the kitchen baking chocolate cupcakes. For frosting, he has three kinds: chocolate, mocha and vanilla. We will be giving away small boxes of cupcakes as Christmas gifts for family and friends. I printed personalized Christmas sticker tags to complete the presents. We will be distributing the first batch later.

Desktop Upgrade

Filed under: Gifts, Info Corner — Tags: — rachel @ 11:27 pm

Last year, my brother gave me a laptop for my birthday. I use my laptop when I’m surfing the Internet because it’s faster than my desktop. I don’t store much data in my laptop. I keep all my important files in my desktop including photos and videos. However, I noticed that my desktop is not performing as well as it used to. I would love to check out the newer desktops in the market and hopefully upgrade to a newer one.

Personalized Tokens of Appreciation

Giving a person a gift during a special occasion is a great way to show that someone how much you truly care.  If you want to make that person feel really special, you can give him or her a gift with a personal touch. A personalized gift is something worth cherishing because you know that the person who gave the gift went out the extra mile to make you feel happy.

A nice way to personalize a gift is by including the name of the person on the item.  A personalized present is perfect for any special occasion or event.  They could be given as gifts, tokens, party giveaways, or as event souvenirs.

Personalized giveaways are perfect for weddings. The bride and groom can give personalized towel wraps to the bridesmaids as a way of showing appreciation.  Personalized items are greatly appreciated during children’s parties. The kids nap mats would make lovely gifts. The personalized plates and placemats are wonderful tokens that party guests would really appreciate.

Mom Agenda Planner

Filed under: Gifts, Info Corner — rachel @ 2:28 am

As a mom, I love keeping a planner to help me keep important things organized. I particularly like the mom agenda planner because of its unique inner sections such as vacation planning pages. addresses, adult information section, kid’s medical information, birthdays and anniversaries, websites and passwords, fashion notes and many more interesting pages. I like being online a lot and I joined many sites that have different log in information and passwords. I like the mom agenda planner because there is a section for passwords. This kind of planner would be an ideal gift for mothers. They also come in lovely designs and fashionable colors.

I also like the cute monogrammed key fobs.  I appreciate the lovely fabrics. They come in wrist sized and mini ones. It’s a lovely gift for any occasion. You can choose the fabric you want.  The monogrammed koozies are great gifts as well.  They are unique and stylish too. You can even have them personalized with cool monogram designs of your choice.

Beauty gifts sets are perfect gift for ladies of different ages.  A nice beauty gift pack may consist of assorted beauty products such as lotions, bath gels, bath salts, colognes and wrinkle creams. I also appreciate home spa gift sets. A foot spa gift basket would be a nice gift. It’s like giving a special lady a reason to pamper herself.

Sports Time Pieces

Filed under: Fashion, Gifts, Info Corner — Tags: , — rachel @ 4:51 pm

I’ve always been fond of sports watches since I was in college. I have collected a few sports time pieces over the years.  I never get tired of wearing them. I have a few formal watches which I wear on formal occasions.

My hubby also loves sports watches.  We even have his and hers sports watches.  I’d like to save some money and surprise him with a Crankcase Oakley Watch.  I find Oakley watches cool and stylish.

Our Christmas Celebration

Filed under: Christmas, Gifts — Tags: , , — rachel @ 11:19 am

Hope everyone had a wonder Christmas celebration.  My family and I had a memorable one. We had Noche Buena at my MIL.  The family shared a small feast of ham, Italian sausage pasta, chicken galantina, fried chicken, potato salad,  fruit salad and sapin-sapin (native delicacy). When we got home on Christmas eve, my son opened his gifts under the tree. I just love watching him unravel his presents. He was thrilled when he found out his Christmas stocking had goodies inside.

We had Christmas dinner at my MIL’s place the following night. After dinner was our kris kringle revelation.  It was a fun evening.  Yohan received many wonderful gifts and he loved opening them one by one.
