Birthday Gift For A Six Year Old

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.

The Ultimate Juicer

Check out this cool kitchen gadget from Royal VKB.  It is a double-sided hand juicer which allows you to juice without any mess.  Just place the Citrange juicer directly on the glass.  It has a built-in funnel which will guide the juice into the glass.  Another great thing is that the Citrange also filters out the seeds.  The rounded side is for bigger fruits like grapefruits or orange and the pointy side is for lemons or limes.  I love to have my juices in the morning before I pop some pre workout supplements. The Citrange is just what I need.

Cath Kidston

I just discovered Cath Kidston recently.  A friend was using a pretty floral tote bag and when I queried, she told me it’s a Cath Kidston.  I checked her website as soon as I could and I fell over heels in love with her collection. Designer, Cath Kidston is based in London and is known for her quirky, floral print.  Besides clothing, accessories and bags, she has expanded  her products to homewares and kids.  Today, Cath Kidston is a unique global lifestyle brand.  Here are a few things which I really like.

Sleeping Bag, Anyone?

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.

What I Am Loving Now

Many people dislike Mondays and so do I.  Mondays are not what I look forward to because I feel that the weekend goes by too soon.  Well, another possible explanation is that I do not like my job very much.  I always try to psych myself up on Sunday night and look forward to the good things.  So, what cures my Monday Blues?  Thinking of a swimming pool with pool lift, listening to some of my favourite songs or visiting my favourite online stores for some retail therapy 😉
