Shopping For Housewarming Gift

barbara

A good friend of mine has just moved into her new home recently. She’ll be having a housewarming/Christmas party in 2 weeks’ time. I have been shopping around for a nice housewarming gift for her. I was looking at some water filters, throws, pots, rugs and many others but I still cannot decide what to get her. I also came across a lovely candle holder from 2Modern.com.

Since my friend loves having candles around her home, I think this candle holder would make an ideal housewarming gift.

Finger Tongs To Protect Your Fingers When Cooking

Sometimes when I cook, I would use my fingers to flip the food. Eventhough I have the spatula with me, it’s still not enough to help me turn some food over. I’m too lazy to walk over to the other side of my kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks or a fork to help me. Hence, I get my fingers burned sometimes. Well, I really do need these finger tongs from fusionbrands.com. This heat-resistant silicone fingertongs allows me to cook safely with my hands. It is safe to use on coated pans, FDA food-safe silicone, non-stick and flexible. Hmmm…Christmas is just around the corner. I wonder if Santa is going to get me one 😉

Christmas Shopping For Men

barbara

The most wonderful time of the year is barely a month away. Christmas decorations are already up in all the shopping malls. I just love listening to the Christmas songs being played at the malls. Have you started your Christmas shopping? Well, I haven’t but I have a list of things that I would like to get. I have looked around at some ipods, shirts, ties and digital cameras for my husband. I am still not sure which one to get for him. I’ve been thinking…..maybe a stylish Muzetto Laptop Bag from SF Bags since he has been looking for one lately.

Fly Butterfly Fly

I was blog-hopping and came across this lovely Silver Butterfly Mobile from Shoestring Home. Aren’t they a stunner? Reminds me of the butterfly decor in the lobby of one of the las vegas nv hotels where me and my family stayed during our vacation 2 years ago. This intricately detailed butterfly mobile is suspended from a metal frame. A beautiful addition to any room and they make a great housewarming gift too.

Cool Tableware

My husband and I went to the mall a few days ago as he wanted to check out some home alarm systems. While we were there, I went into a shop selling kitchen accessories and was bowled over by this sugar bowl. It is made of steel with a colored finish or stainless steel. The lid is made of polished stainless steel. Great for those who want to add a dash of colours in the kitchen.

Hand-Painted Bead Bracelets

barbara

I am so addicted to this website – www.maei.nl and have been browsing it for the last 30 minutes. I should be looking for some health insurance leads but instead, I am staring at these beautiful accessories such as the Brown and Gold Bead Bracelet. They are so unique and make a very good gift for those who are into one of a kind accessories.

Each item is made from hand-painted wooden beads and decorated with colourful flowers.

I like this red Rapture bracelet too.
