My daughter will be celebrating her birthday next month. I can’t believe that she’s going to be 6 soon. Time sure flies. I am planning a simple birthday celebration for her at the park with her friends. I have been busy planning for her birthday like sending out the invitations, deciding on the type of food and making party packs. When it comes to gift for her birthday, I found a few really awesome things at Personal Creations. It is really hard to pick out a gift since everything is so lovely there. Perhaps I could get her aunts and grandparents to buy her gifts at Personal Creations too. I have narrowed down to a few things.

Birthday Gift For A Six Year Old

barbara

My daughter will be celebrating her 6th birthday next month. I still have not decided what present to give her. My spouse suggested that we get her a bicycle since she has been asking for one with a basket when she saw it at a bicycle shop in the mall. Oh, she also prefers one that is pink as pink is her favourite colour. I wonder if we could find a folding bike too. It would be easy to bring along to the park. If not, we may need to get a thule bike rack for our car.

DIY Gift Bows

barbara

Before I begin to look for diet pills that work, I thought I would share with you this lovely gift bows idea from How About Orange. Everyone knows that I love paper craft. So when I saw these pretty recycled gift bows made from yellow pages, I was thrilled. First, cut out 1 inch wide strips from pages of the book. Then cut a few full-length strips as well as a few strips that are 3″ shorter. Form the strips into an “eight” shape and tape the ends in the center. Arrange the longer strips to form a circle and staple it in the middle. Repeat with the shorter strips and add the single loop to the center using double-sided tape. For more craft ideas, do visit How About Orange.

A friend of mine is hosting a housewarming party in two weeks’ time. She moved into her beautiful apartment about a month ago. I cannot wait to visit her and see her apartment. My friend is a chef and this means she would be cooking some awesome food for her guests. I may need to take some myoripped after the party. As for housewarming gift for my friend, I have narrowed it down to a few items from UnCommonGoods.com. I still cannot decide which one to get her.

Sleeping Bag, Anyone?

barbara

Have you heard of JakPak? Well outdoor enthusiasts are going to love this. JakPak is actually a jacket with a built-in tent and a built-in sleeping bag. How cool is this? Made from breathable but waterproof urethane coated ripstop nylon / polyester fabric, the sleeping bag can be unfurled from the sides of the jacket. Great for keeping you warm and cozy for the night. Next time when you head out to the woods, there is no need to bring along a tent and a sleeping bag. Just wear a JakPak. Talk about travelling light. I am thinking of getting one for my spouse because he enjoys camping with his friends. I am sure JakPak can also keep his nikon camera batteries and camera safely too.

How To Save Space In The Shoe Closet

barbara

My shoe cabinet is packed to the brim. It does not help that I am a shoeholic. I need to organize my shoe closet to create more space. Before I start reading up on the acne treatment, I thought I would check out some shoe organizers online. I found this Spinning Shoe Organize from HarrietCarter.com. It features a hanging caddy with 40 pockets and 5 shelves. Besides holding shoes, it can even hold handbags, scarves and more. This is just what I need to save space. I can’t wait to get on now and start organizing my closet. The Spinning Shoe Organizer makes a great gift too.
