Going Nuts This Christmas!

Every year during Christmas we really try and give gifts that mean something to everyone, not just any gift we pick up randomly. But we all know it’s hard to pick gifts for just about everyone.. so to make things easy.. we pick a theme each year. This year we are going nuts about Christmas, so friends and family can expect nuts & chocolates (a little) for Christmas, after all, who doesn’t like nuts and chocolates?

Finding a place with a variety to choose from and who promptly delivers our good wishes with those christmas nuts is important. I want to be able to get the man to do all the online shopping with me. I know he will be more than happy to shop online rather than follow me to the mall and fight with tons of people who are also trying to do their Christmas shopping, with screaming kids in the hallway. Or fight with the weather and try mail them out for me. And worrying whether they will arrive on time.

Anyhow, this year we are shopping smart at ohnuts.com, you can place your orders online or call them by phone if you don’t want to use internet payments for whatever reason. You get to track your orders and know exactly when your gift is arriving. You don’t have to worry about damaged goods because they believe in giving the best to their customers. Go nuts like us this Christmas, the hassle free way.

Christmas Gifts

Christmas is just round the corner and if you know me and PB well, you know that we are master procrastinators when it comes to Christmas gift shopping. Not that we hate shopping or Christmas, it’s because we own our own business and like everywhere else in the world Christmas is the busiest time for us. Since we have lots friends in the United States, it is the season of giving and showing love even though we are so far away and unable to be together.

As far as I know no one refuses Christmas chocolate gifts, even those who are allergic to chocolate. After all if they can’t eat it, they can always share it with someone in the family or party/gathering during this holiday season. With such a large selection to choose from one should have no problem picking up a gift online for the extended family or business associates. What I like best about Oh! Nuts is that they are Kosher, and for those who are not sure what it means, it is food that’s fit for consuming by your Muslim friends. I feel absolutely confident shopping for my Muslim friends here. I wish they shipped internationally, but at the moment I can only be content with sending these chocolates, dried fruits and nuts, to my friends in the States.

Prom For Kate

Photobucket

Being a kid in Asia is not easy.. because of how competitive everything is. But being a kid in Canada.. well.. it’s not easy.. on other aspect. Take for example our babysitter .. Keegan, she is shopping for her prom dress now.. and prom is in May 2009. The one she is interested in . .is $500 .. and they are not for rental. By the time the night is over.. she would be at least $1000 poorer. Why..?? well .. first thing first, the dress for $500. She and her friends will be booking a limo.. and then a hotel room.. to store their stuff. Ok.. now the hair.. and then her make up. .and the accessories.. that goes with her dress… and what about her shoes..?? and the many pictures she is gonna take..?? Easily ..$1000 there.. see what i mean.. it’s not easy being a kid here.

So don’t fret like me .. and think that i needed more laptop memory because sometimes, i used the laptop to watch The Four TVB Series.

Prom Dress For Keegan

Our babysitter Keegan is in Grade 12 this year it is a big year for her. From Prom to finishing school and then going to nursing school next year, all trying to fall into its place. One of the most important events of the year for all Grade 12 students, if you don’t know by now, is Prom Night. It is definitely a night to remember, almost like telling the whole world that yer a big gal now. So of course Keegan has been talking about looking for evening gowns already, but as you all know we are a very small town and don’t really have many places in the mall for such exquisite looking dresses.

But guess what Keegan said, she was going all out for a puffy dress *slap forehead*. Unlike her, I prefer a practical dress. Something that I can wear again. After all they are not cheap eh? Evening dresses like this one are simple yet elegant. I love the embroidered pattern on the upper part of the dress and the sheer material makes one look really soft and sexy, subtle yet noticeable. It’s in the price range of what Keegan was going to spend on her prom dress too, so if I were her I would buy something like the one pictured below so that I can use it again for other occasions like a wedding or a party/cocktail in the future. In fact, this dress can be worn for dining in a fine restaurant too and we do that a lot. Plus they do ship worldwide, so if Keegan orders a dress from Splendid Gowns, she will be able to get it before Prom Night.

Fall Fashion For Mums

Photobucket

This was listed in the Fall Fashion at Stylehive about 3 weeks ago. Had I known about Stylehive at the time I would have bought this since it was less than USD $30, but now it is not available anymore. What a bummer! It’s not always possible for me to up and leave the store and go shopping, but I’m always trying to stay on top of things and stay trendy too. After all, being a mum doesn’t mean that you need to be frumpy and wear a housecoat all day even if you are a stay at home mum. Like all mums around the world, we look for stylish things that are affordable and fit into our household budget so we don’t overspend.

The Fall Fashions at Stylehive are actually a collation of hip and cool items from people from all over the world who want to share their findings with you. It is constantly updated and helps women like me to stay informed and get the best buys. You find not only fashion wear but home cuties and other fun stuff there, anything that’s hot and fresh can be found. I might not be able to afford the latest Bottega, but it’s always good to know where I can get a good price when I do want one.

This is my first piece of jewelry that I paid for on my own. .and the rest came from her Godma, Lynn. Godma Lynn has got good taste too. .and bought her many diamond pendants and gold chain.. most of them are silver.. but that is what i like for children anyways. And yes.. she loved it.. wore it for Ciarra’s baptism.. and wore it to work yesterday. And today she is back to school again.. for 4 days.

Cadillac Pt 2

A month ago I wrote about how the Cadillac reminds me of my grampie’s car and I remembered how much he used to praise his Caddy and boast that it was the most reliable car he ever owned. And since I’ve got to get a 2nd car because the kid is in school now and it’s better for me to drive her to school instead of getting PB to do it.. for sometimes it can get busy at the store, we decided to take a peek at what models the Cadillacs can offer me today. I have to say I was quite impressed with used Cadillacs Harrisburg PA, the car models included the DeVille, DTS, Escalade, CTS, STS, SRX, XLR and others.

But I’m fussy and I’m looking for a special type of car that doesn’t need a lot of gas, is good on mileage and is affordable. And what I hate most about going to look for a car is when the sales person talks down to you or makes you feel like you don’t know a thing about cars. For those staying around the Harrisburg, PA area you are lucky because the sales people there are experienced and will never make you feel small. You’ll be completely satisfied and informed about your car. And if you are anything like me, we like to go to the people who treats us well.

Personalized Music & Books For Kids

Like any parents I am sure you only want to buy things for your child no matter how old they are, gifts that can help them with their development and also nurture them. Whether it is to stimulate them mentally or physically, we want to choose carefully and make sure that she/he benefits from it. I am not any different from the other mummies out there and personalized gifts for children from KidsMusicBoxCD.com are what I find to be the best thing any parents can buy for their kids. These personalized music cds and story books are pretty unique and very affordable. I find that Chloe responded to music, rhymes and story books better when they shout out her name during stories and songs.

You can choose from soothing lullabies to entertaining sports CDs and many different stories to integrate your kid’s name into the lyrics or story line. I noticed the delightful squeal when Chloe first heard her name in a story and the name of the town she lived in and they get to hear it as many as 98 times in a song or book. It’s wholesome and your kids learn from it, plus you can even ask to print their name on the label and leave a special message from the giver. Designed for kids age 1 – 14, I say start them young and help them learn to love reading and singing. Great gifts from Grammie, Grampie and even Godma..!
