Selfish present

Posted on by

I would love to see my boyfriend in a black leather jacket – but till today he hasn’t bought one. So it’s time to get matters into my own hands…

Good thing that Christmas is approaching – so I’ll see if I can find a cool jacket and buy it as a Christmas present. And I don’t think my darling will have reason to complain: a good leather jacket with high quality is not what you would call cheap… I just hope the prices won’t be too exagerated. As you can imagine I have to buy some more gifts for family and friends.

Well, I’ll see what I can do. But I’m quite aware that it would be wiser to wait till after Christmas, when the sales begin. But my boyfriend is worth it to spend a little more, so it’s okay.

the japanese way

I really like wrapping presents. But since they usually look kind of similar for every occasion, be it Christmas or Birthday, I decided to try something new this year. I found an interesting technique on my search for new Japanese goods on Bento&co. There, I came across a wrapping cloth usually used for wrapping up and carrying around your fresh made “bento” (packed lunch). The wrapping cloth is called “furoshiki” and it mostly comes in a 50cm square cotton fabric.

As I’m a huge fan of Japan, of course I do have a few of them at home myself and I do know that those wrapping cloths originally were used to wrap up anything that needed wrapping (goods, lunch, gifts), but the idea to actually wrap presents in it never crossed my mind. What a shame! It’s a gorgeous idea and it looks amazing even though mot much time is needed. Have a look at this video and be inspired.

feeling the Christmas spirit

On Saturday I went to the staff Christmas party my workplace holds every year. Surprisingly, it’s been the first time it was actually hold in December. The years before the Christmas spirit wasn’t really coming through since the party was held in mid January and everybody had more than enough of Christmas carols and such. So basically, it’s always been an occasion for celebrating over the top in terms of alcoholic beverages. Fun without a doubt, but still slightly unpleasant considering you have to look your colleagues and boss in the eye, with a clear mind again, 24hours later.

Anyway, not this time. It was a very calm party and everybody dressed up quite nicely. I wasn’t the only one deciding on a black cocktail dress and the view upon all my male colleagues was just as pleasing.
