We have just started a weekly Kris Kringle in the office. And the challenge this week is to find items under $20 and should be something unusual that can be used by both male and female members this Christmas. I found a metal stocking holder, which I think is very useful for those who love Christmas stockings but don’t have a fireplace or a vacant area for such things at home. The metal holder can display up to 6 stockings, and can be placed at a corner. Nice!
I also found this spare change jar while looking for birthday gifts for dads. My dad, who would have been 82 next month, would certainly loved this. He specifically liked novelty items, aside from the usual handkerchiefs, books, card holders and socks that he usually received as birthday slash Christmas gifts. But then, with him no longer around, I would be buying one as a holiday present to my male friends who are now dads.
Since our corporate Christmas party is scheduled first week of December, and most likely the bonuses are coming in by that time too, I am listing down some items I need to buy before the year ends. My Christmas wish list might cost me quite a lot this year.
1. Canon Pixma printer -for my proposals, resumes and other matters
2. Cuttlebug – for the paper card business next year
3. A pair of Levi’s jeans
4. Bed frame – for my small room in the metro. (I know, log beds are nice.)
5. Dress
6. A pair of pumps to go with the dress
7. And yes, gifts for the family and inaanaks who are still within my radar.
Now I need to get down to the business and work.
Just got off a dinner party at EDSA Shangrila Plaza Hotel. It was an intimate dinner treat courtesy of Filscap (Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) who has been in the business of upholding the rights of Filipino talents. I think everyone should really has to promote and support original Pilipino music.
It was great meeting legendary musician and singer and Filscap president Noel Cabangon (we had our photos taken with him), and had one hearty dinner (I’m still bit full as of this hour). We also received a nice tote bag giveaway from Filscap made by Team Manila Lifestyle which actually showcased Pinoy creativity. I don’t have a camera right now, but this is how it looks like. I thought it was nice and cool.
The party days have just started, so I’d be expecting more of this kind from birthday invitations, company parties, to dinner dates. But for know, I need to catch some sleep.
