Gift Buying When You Forgot To Go Shopping

1 / 10 / 20

Have you ever had a birthday, anniversary, or holiday come up on the calendar and realized you forgot to get that special someone a gift? Don’t worry, there are several ways to buy online and still have your present delivered that day!

Florals

Sending bouquets has been a long-time method of last-minute gifting, but there are ways to make it special and unique. No need to buy dozens of roses or bunches of wildflowers that will soon fade when you can purchase a whole plant to send. Afraid your recipient might not have a green thumb? Most greenery shops will give you a reference guide showing which plants need the most care and which ones require minimal work.

Food

No one could make a mistake by sending a treat as a fun surprise. Your options are almost endless, with goodies ranging from sweet to sour, tangy to tart, and gourmet to gooey. All this requires of you is some research of your local area in order to see what is available. “Cookie delivery Atlanta” is an example of a search phrase to use. Can’t remember the person’s favorite snack or flavor? Purchase an assorted package of treats, giving him or her some of what is loved as well as new things to try.

Fun

Experiences are great gifts for that person who already has everything. Instead of purchasing another trinket that may break or collect dust, give the gift of a memory that will never fade. These are often easy to purchase online and even easier to deliver since they go directly to your recipient’s inbox. Not sure what your loved one would like to do? Think about hobbies or an activity the person has shown an interest in doing and make his or her dreams come true.

Time has a way of quickly passing, bringing dates and occasions sooner than expected. Before the panic of forgetting to buy a gift kicks in, jump online and see what you can find to make the day extra special.

Keto Gift Basket Ideas

12 / 11 / 1912 / 11 / 19

The holiday season is upon us. Do you have a keto or low carb person on your gifting list and you are not sure what to get them? You can make a custom gift basket or gift box if you do not want to just get one specific gift. Do scroll down to get the best low carb or keto gift ideas for a keto gift box or basket.

Zerro – Erythritol ( ZERO CALORIE SUGAR) which is a sugar substitute that looks and tastes like sugar, yet has almost no calories. Erythritol has been approved for use as a food additive in the United States and in many other countries. I have used them for my baking and they are amazing.

MCT Oil which stands for medium-chain triglycerides. It is a form of saturated fatty acid that is found in certain foods like coconut/coconut oil. MCT oil is a concentrated source of these fats since it provides more than would be found in whole foods like coconuts. I think that a good quality coconut oil would be one of the first things I would add to your low carb or keto gift baskets.

Caroma Tik Tik Low Carb Coffee which is a Malaysian slow brew coffee in a teabag. This conveniently packed coffee is made from 100% Arabica ground coffee bean. Caroma Tik Tik Low Carb Coffee is available in 3 flavours. I think they would make a fantastic addition to your basket!

Chocolates are popular gifts and one of my favorite treats is Lindt Excellence 99% Cacao Dark Chocolate. It is delicious, smooth and silky. Lindt chocolates are available at Tesco and Jaya Grocer.

Himalayan Pink Rock Salt contains beneficial nutrients and minerals that are good for our health. It is an ideal substitute for your normal table salt. You can find them in the supermarket like Tesco or Jaya Grocer. Watsons also carry them.

A low carb or keto gift basket is a great way to go and they are pretty easy to put together. Any of these single items would make a great gift or keto stocking stuffer for that low carber or ketoer on your gift list! Whether it is your coworker’s birthday, your anniversary or Mothers’ Day, if the recipient follows a low-carb lifestyle, then I have got you covered with keto-friendly gifts for every occasion.

Every Woman Should Get The Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm

10 / 9 / 19

Ever since a dear friend gifted me a Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm a few months ago, I was hooked. I love the intense color and the creamy velvety texture of this lip balm. She took out a handful of this lipstick in different shades and handed me a No. 20 Red Pepper which is red with a tinge of earthy tone. She thinks it suits my skin colour and she is absolutely right!

I am not a fan of matte lipsticks because I find that they make my lips dry but let me tell you this. Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm does not leave my lips feeling cakey and dry. This cute little crayon type lipstick glides smoothly on my lips and the color is very lasting.

So when I was in Seoul, I searched everywhere for these Mamonde lip balm. I find it strange that there are not many Mamonde shops in Myeongdong or other areas. I see Missha, Etude House, Skinfood and Innisfree everywhere but not Mamonde. On the last day of our shopping, we finally found the Mamonde stand-alone store in one of the streets in Myeongdong. We were so happy and started to load up our baskets with lip balms and skincare.

We bought different shades as gifts for friends. Of course, this lip balm is available in Malaysia (Mamonde stores or selected Watsons outlet) but it is half the price in Seoul. I cannot wait to try on other shades and I just saw that they have come out with a few new shades called Red Brownie and Chilli Pepper. Check them out here.

If you cannot live without lipsticks like moi, I suggest that you give this a try. You can buy the Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm from Watsons or Althea.

Are You Getting Ready For Mid-Autumn Festival?

7 / 29 / 19

I just saw some lanterns being sold at a shop in my neighbourhood. Wow, this means that the Mid-Autumn festival is around the corner. This festival is also known as the Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival. Every year it falls on the 15th day of 8th month on the lunar calendar. The Mid-Autumn Festival is about giving thanks for abundance and for joyful reunions with loved ones.

Many Chinese celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival by visiting family and close friends, casually chatting under the moonlight while enjoying tea and mooncakes. It is an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. When growing up, the Mooncake Festival was my second favourite festivals after the Chinese New Year of course. I looked forward to this celebration as we would always go to my aunt’s house to celebrate. My siblings, cousins and I will be playing with our lanterns and lighting candles on the gate, around the flower pots and the floor. The adults will be sitting around the table, eating mooncakes, baby taros, pomelos and water caltrop, a kind of water chestnut that is in the shape of a bull’s head. It was so much fun.

On the weeks leading to the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be mooncakes for sale in many places such as Bing Liang Bakery. Business people would dutifully gift boxes of mooncakes, which range from the classic to the contemporary to clients and families would buy their favourites for their own Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.

Gifting mooncakes is one of the hallmark traditions of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Asia. Every year mooncake makers outdo themselves by churning out delicious pastries with beautiful packaging.

Shopping for mooncake gifts is a big event for the Chinese and this tradition never goes out of fashion. So have you done up a list to gift your friends and families some delectable mooncakes?

The Perfect Gift For Women

5 / 6 / 19

Are you looking for the perfect gift for a special woman in your life? If you are, here is a tip. You can never go wrong with a beautiful piece of jewelry. Having said that, there are so many options out there and choosing the right piece can be a challenge. Luckily, it does not have to be. With a little work and a few smart tips, anyone can find the perfect necklace that is sure to be a hit with any woman. Here are a few tips about necklace styles and choosing the perfect necklace for any woman in your life.

From strands of pearls, birthstone necklace to lengthy chains to statement pieces, there a wide range of necklaces styles to choose from. Some necklace styles are self-explanatory, like strands of classic pearls. Others are less so. A statement necklace is usually one with large stones, diamonds, or other accents. It hangs at a mid-length and not as short as a choker, but also is not long like a chain or a necklace designed for layering.

A piece of personalized jewelry like a name necklace is another great gift choice. These aesthetically-designed name necklaces can never go out of style. It also makes her feel special because of the engraved name. The best place to shop for engraved jewelry is at www.getnamenecklace.com. This online jewelry store has a wide range of beautiful name necklaces that are perfect for Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Christmas or any special occasions. Personalized necklaces show her that you really care and that you took time to plan out the gift you are giving her.

Another style of necklace that makes a nice gift is a Custom Lucky Necklace. A horseshoe-shaped necklace is great for bringing good luck. It is casual as an everyday accessory and its personal elements add something special to any outfit.

Choosing a necklace that will fit a woman’s personal style is a great way to show that you took the time to consider what she would like the most.

A Nice Lil Surprise

When I got home from work 2 days ago, I was so surprised to see these gifts.

They were from my bestie. She knows that I eat strawberries and love little green plants. The cute plant is actually grown from seeds of dragonfruit and needs very little water and sun. The pears are for my family of course. I love getting surprises. Who doesn’t eh?

DIY Snack Bouquet For Birthday

12 / 13 / 18

My friend, Annie asked me if I could create a snack bouquet for her husband’s birthday. I have never tried making one before and I was afraid that I may not make one that is up to her expectation. She told me to give it a try and gave me a list of snacks that her husband likes to eat. Here’s what I got – Thumbs peanuts, chocolates and Hacks sweets.

I used kraft paper to wrap the bouquet and secured it with a burlap ribbon. Boy, it was not as easy as it looks as the peanut bags are kinda bulky. Hubs used a cardboard to do a cone shape so that the base is heavy enough to withstand all the snacks on top.

What do you think of this DIY Snack Bouquet for birthday?

Not too long ago, I purchased the Lemony Butter Cake Mix from Yummyketobycharine. The cake mix is pretty convenient as I only need to add butter, eggs and lemon juice. I forgot to take a photo of the cake mix when they arrived so I am using the photo from her FB page.

Tadaa…here is my keto lemon cake. It is so fluffy soft and buttery. Smelt so good when it was baking in the oven. I am glad that I bought the cake mix and got to enjoy some keto lemony cake goodness. It is so delicious! IMG_20181125_110744_987-01
