Birthday gift idea!!

First off, i'd like to dedicate today's post to my younger sister- happy birthday!! 

She is the most adorable, amazing girly girl, which brings me to the next point- what does an adorable girly girl want as a gift?! 

 (In Advance- sorry for not including prices but as this was a gift i thought it better not).

It took me a while in the store but i found the following items:

Earring Set, from DIVA.

These are really cute earrings which I thought she'd like- the bright colours, the stylish zipper design- and the laughs from the crazy spiky earrings.

Mickey Minnie T-Shirt, from Valleygirl

This shirt I got as it seems super comfy as well as super cute- it's actually perfect for anything. You could wear it out on a casual event, but it would also make a comfy pyjama- or it would be a great workout top.

"Happy Birthday" Gift set- Target

This set had some amazing lotions and body creams, and also has two heart-shaped Vitamin E soaps- perfect to replenish the skin!

Overall in the present I tried to vary the type of gift but keep in in theme. I got a clothing item, a beauty/skincare item and a jewelry item, which I thought was good as it expanded out across the gift range.

I wrote her a long letter instead of a card and put it all in a gift bag. Later when she opened it she was happy and loved it- phew, job well done!!

Some tips for gift buying:

• Remember to choose just ONE theme and stick to that when shopping, or it can get a little chaotic and costly.
• Choose a theme that the person will actually like/be interested in, and don't choose what YOU'd want it to be.
• Try to get a couple of smaller things, but from different "categories" of the theme idea (eg. beauty can have Makeup for the skin, lotion for the body, hair chalk for the hair,etc).
• Try to personalize the gift as much as possible. Do you have any inside jokes? put them to good use and get a gift that will make them laugh about the memories.
• Lastly, always remember to buy a CARD and a GIFT BAG. Believe me, those can be easily forgotten in the rush..

I hope this can help you guys buy great gifts for friends/family. What ideas or tips do you guys have for gift giving?
