Belated Gift for Mother’s Day

I’ve gone and forgotten Mother’s Day completely, and now remembering it a month later there is no hope for redemption! My mother has a birthday coming up soon, luckily, so I am going to get her something nice, a sort of combined Mother’s day and birthday gift.

Now we all know grandparents who whip out a wallet or even a photo album at the least provocation and proceed to show even strangers their beloved offspring’s even more beloved offspring, so it goes without saying that anything that features grandkids photos is bound to be a big hit. So this picture tote here, would be an excellent idea in my view. Available in black, khaki or red, it made from cotton canvas with leather trim and has three built-in, round photo frames. Then you can get a few pics developed; the kind she will enjoy, (get a whole bunch done, so that she can change them as and when she wants) and you have a really memorable gift!

Baby Shower Gift Ideas

A friend is in the family way and I have been wondering what to give her as a baby shower gift. There is a bunch of ideas I had: some item of furniture for the nursery, or an infant toy, a stroller, a playpen, a baby monitor etc. if it is something more expensive I could get together with other friends to pool together and buy. Then asked her what she would like and now it is a tossup between a baby bed and a good diaper bag.

I find a lot of mothers thank the fact that they have a Moses basket or a bassinet. One mother I know carried it around till her baby was over a year old so that she could put her down for a nap anywhere. So I thought this one was really economical for $69.50. The only problem with it of course is that it is outgrown by the baby rather early, so I thought of a cot, which could be used over a longer period of time.

Bag It!

I’ve talked about celebrity look alike items (or knock-offs if you prefer that term) before, and touched on the topic of handbags, but those among us who feel passionately about hand bags would agree that several posts and not just part of one post can be devoted to the topic of bags, bags and more bags! Since we are all about discounts or at the very least good value for money, let’s talk about designer ‘inspired’. Let’s face it, if you want a smart, current look and don’t want to do that at the expense of a second mortgage, then you have to consider this option.

Black clutch inspired by Calvin KleinStyle in the bag is a good collection of bags which has a selection of evening bags and clutches and a good designer inspired section. This classic black clutch (Calvin Klein inspired) would be great to grace any occasion with but will set you back by $19.94! [Read more →]
