Here are some quick snapshots of how the festive season has been so far through my iPhone. I find that it is so much easier to upload photos from there instead of my camera cos I'll already have done all the photo editing on my phone anyway when I upload on Instagram/Facebook.
First gift exchange of the year on 15 Dec 2012

More presents!
I decided to make my own handmade goodies for my colleagues this year. Thus I narrowed it down to three items.
Item 1 - chocolate cherry coconut almond granola being.
Item 2 - Rose and cranberry crackies.
Item 3 - Chocolate sables.
Dried roses petals where I spent 2.5 hours peeling...
Everything all baked and ready to be packed
Individually packed and labelled
Gifts for the colleagues
Top L to R - Gifts from the colleagues; A really awesome ring box; Accessories I received; Food related items I received
With regards to Christmas presents, I think I'm quite an easy person to buy a gift for. Just buy me anything related to food, fashion or cameras. This year, I received several items that are quite useful and also very "me". Love all the accessories I've gotten this year. My friends know me well indeed cos I'm currently in a statement accessories phase.
As for the food related items...I love all them, really I do! But. Erm, I have all of the above already. Whoops. I just ordered a cake pop baking kit recently online (which have yet to arrive), and as for the book, I got myself a copy of the exact book a few weeks back, and I received a chocolate fondue set too for one of my last year's gift exchange. Nevertheless, I'm happy to get all of them cos it means my friends really do know me well. I mean there can never be too much of anything yes? I'll make sure to put everything to good use. :)
LOL. I`m always scared of that happening, so I just tell my friends and family what I buy myself.
ReplyDeletehaha i'll be sure to do that next year. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI'm Cheryl, a final year sociology student at NTU. I'm
currently doing my graduation project which is based on the topic of
independent cafes. Through your blog, I can see that you're an avid consumer of
such cafes and would like to interview you to understand your experiences and
thoughts towards such cafes. Hope to hear from you soon! Let me know your email
or you can contact me at kohs0075@e.ntu.edu.sg. :) I have tried emailing you through blogger but I don't know if that has reached you because they have a very heavy restriction on the number of characters I can include in my message.
