I received quite a few gifts, some were from overseas! I love opening gifts. Thank god that I didn’t receive any gift cards/certificate this year. I think gift giving is not so much about the gift, it is the process of thinking of someone and picking something you think the gift recipient would like. Giving gift cards is a no no for me. It’s like money to me. There is no thought putting in it. I know we all have busy lives.  But is it so busy that we can’t even spending some time to pick a gift to the people that matter to us?

People kept asking me what the most popular items were for this holiday. Okay, here you go!

Most people got this with the matching compact mirror (See Next Item). Both come tucked in in a lime leather pouch to prevent it from scratching. So, even you put them in the purse with keys and other stuff, the surface will not get scratched. We are considering adding the personalization service on this item to make it a even more unique. Actually, this style is my favorite too among all the other styles from the same series.

I wasn’t surprised for this being one of the most popular item because a lot of women have 1 compact mirror in their pocket! With the business card case, it actually is a perfect gift for most business women.

Matching necklace available to match your style. You can choose leather necklace/stainless steel necklace. It gives a total different feel. With a snake chain, it is more elegant and stylish. With a leather necklace, it is more trendy and give a younger look. With a 5 stainless steel cable, it is more unique. Most people go with snake chain and the next popular matching necklace is leather necklace.

More to come.. Stay Tuned.

How did you like and enjoy your holidays so far? Ate lots of good food? Went to lots of parties? Me? I went to skiing a few times. No, I am not good at skiing at all. In fact, I am new to it but I like it a lot. I am going to spend more time this winter skiing. Hopefully, by the end of the season, I will be able to go on some more challenging trails. Right now, I am still on the beginnger trails!

Hey, I received an ipod nano as a gift, the green one! I have to say, it looks really cool. So thin, just 6.5mm thick and sleek. I never had an mp3 player before. I am not a gadget person but I think it’s going to change. I am impressed with the size, disk space (4G or 8G), the user interface and the design. I also started using iTunes but not as impressive though. Found it a little bit difficult to use and slow. Maybe I am not used to it yet.

If you want to get to know more about ipod nano, you can check out their website at http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/.
