Shopping For Housewarming Gift

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

tongs

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 😉

Things That I Want To Do Now

Oh boy, there are so many things which I have to do but so little time.  I better move my derriere and get started real soon.   Here is a list of things that I have to do.

1.  Check out some Toronto hotels as I wish to spend a White Christmas in Toronto.

2.  Start shopping for Christmas gifts for my family and friends.

3.  Give my home a makeover or rather my living room.

4.  Start painting my guest room and decorate it.  My 4 year old has been requesting for her own room.

5.  Lose 10 pounds before Christmas.

6.  Get a Roots Canada tee.  Did I say I love Canada and all things Canadian?

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.

Do you like these mini suitcases for children?  Ok, now before you start dreaming about going away to those fabulous Outer Banks rentals, these mini suitcases are actually storage pieces for your child’s bedroom or playroom.  They look so vintage, like those suitcases in the 50s era.   These mini suitcases are made from 100% post consumer fibreboard and are durable with a protective outer shell.  They come in a variety of shades – red, blue, green, orange and pink.  If you would like to get them for your kids, check out LandofNod.com.

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.

Citrus Fruit Peeler

I always have a hard time peeling oranges.  So what I normally do is just cut the oranges with the skin intact and try not to eat into the skin.  I am so glad to stumble upon the Apostrophe Orange Peeler from Fitzsu.  It is a handy kitchen utensil that cuts just enough into the peel.  It is very easy to use and the peel will be removed in a jiffy.  The Apostrophe Orange Peeler is just as cool as those metal buildings. Makes a great housewarming gift.

Cool Lego Kitchen Island

I came across this really cool Lego Kitchen Island while blog-hopping earlier. Designers, Philippe Simon and Pillard Rosetti customized their Ikea kitchen island by using over 20,000 pieces of Lego. What a brilliant idea. I don’t know about you but I simply love this kitchen island.  It is definitely a great way to add some colours to the kitchen.   Lego fans out there are going to go goo-goo-ga-ga over this.  Well, for those who have Amish fireplaces, then I am afraid this colorful Lego kitchen island does not go well with your decor.
