Holiday Gift Guide ❤ Gifts for the cutesy type~

With the holidays just a few weeks away, you might already be thinking of what gifts to give your friends and family.

If you haven’t already purchased your gifts, here are some you might want to consider:

Made by EkiLove creations! You all know I am fans of Eki’s creations having purchased two separate orders (4 pouches in total! Here and Here). Eki just came out with new creations today, so if you haven’t gone to check it out, go now! Her products usually sell out really fast, so if you want some, act soon!

Her earrings & charms are adorable too!

What about an iPhone cover? This comes in black and white (if you buy it from the official Sanrio website). You can also find it on eBay or other websites; there are more styles and designs on the other websites.

Or… a Fujifilm Instax Mini! I’ve always been a fan of this type of camera, its like an instant camera but a cute kind, where you can buy different frames for the pictures. They don’t just come in the Hello Kitty theme, they have different colours and other characters as well.

On my wishlist this winter is the Jill Stuart Sweetness Collection. It was outlined in one of my previous entries, but this is about $100 after shipping and handling, which means I might have to wait a while before I actually get my hands on one, that is if it doesn’t sell out.

Speaking of Eki, she is currently having giveaways both on her EkiLove site as well as her personal blog site. Make sure you enter!

I recently got into jewelry making

I recently got into jewelry-making. Obviously not for profit, because I would never be able to compete with the lovely Mona of Le Petite Jewelry, and Steph of DSK Jewelry. I’ve always been a huge fan of Swarovski pendants and necklaces, with simplicity always in mind. So yesterday, I ordered a few pendants, bails and chains to make pendants for my friends and family for Christmas. The website I bought from were having a sale, so I hurrily grabbed like 20 pendants.

I bought a few Baroques, a crescent moon (for my mom, because her Chinese name has a “moon” in it), and a snowflake for myself (because I have this fascination with snowflakes). The Baroque pendants will be perfect for me and my friends because then we’ll all be connected with the same pendants, its like it was a sign! LOL.

I’m hoping shipping will be fast, and then I can go ahead and make this stuff to give as Christmas presents! I’m so excited, because I love Christmas (as if you didn’t know that already from me talking about it everyday, haha), and this is a great way to share my joy!

If you’re looking to buy Swarovski gifts, I’m not selling anything that I make, maybe in the future, but definitely not now. You can buy Swarovski gifts from Mona of Le Petite Jewelry, and Steph of DSK Jewelry. Their handmade products have been known in the blog world for being very good quality, and made with lots of LOVE. If you’re looking for kawaii designs of jewelry, accessories or pouches, please visit Eki of Ekilove.com. I recently ordered a second “batch” of stuff from her, which I will be showcasing once I receive them; I’m SO excited!
