Meaningful Shopping
Is there such a thing? Well, yes. I didn't buy only for myself (which I normally do every single weekend!). I officially started my Christmas shopping =) for family and friends
I am so happy that I got most of the important stuff:
- EJ's wedding gift! (it's very unique I think... I hope she and TJ will like it)
- My dress for Jane and EJ's wedding. I had it made at this really chic shop called "My Mom Made" at Siam Square. It's popular here in Bangkok for formal, party clothes. A bit expensive, but I guess it's ok considering that I'll be using it for both weddings on the same date - December 27. Yes, I will be going from Manila Cathedral for EJ and then to the Bamboo Organ for Jane.
- Bootsie's gift (a Thai-inspired top)
- Alma's cream Pashmina. And I got one for myself too. It will be perfect with the brown dress I bought last June - can you believe that I haven't worn that since I bought it?!
- My cousin Ruby's gift (a Thai-inspired bag and some Thai silk scarves)
- My cousin Vera's gift (also the same as Ruby's bag but a different color)
- 6 gift packs of scented candle and incense for relaxation (for anyone... whoever!)
- 3 boxes of Doitung Macadamia Nuts Chocolate - grown and made at the northern part of Thailand (for anyone din... whoever. But I think my sister will eat it before I can even give it to anyone)
I have more shopping to go! A gift for my mom, dad, my sister Mae and her husband. Nabilan ko na si Ate Leah a month ago when I was shopping for myself, I managed to make singit 2 Naturalizer sandals for her. Sino pa ba? Hmmm.... I think I will just give money to all my inaanaks. I don't have time to think for individual gifts na.
I shall continue tomorrow (oh, that's later already).
