Last Minute Shopping

We have both left our Christmas shopping to the very last minute, surprise surprise! I know what I need to get but lack the motivation to head to Westfield to get them. Instead, I have been looking at things that I might like for Christmas. Perhaps you would like them too?

Breville Scraper Mixer Not only does it mix ingredients better, but there’s now no need to stop and scrape down the bowl with a spatula. about $280 and you should definately get Cherry

and wash it all down with a cold sparkling glass of Bollinger! about $60 a bottle, but depends where you shop.

You can get most of the things at your local Westfield (that is where I will be going) Or click the links to go direct to their websites. If you want any of these that is. Happy shopping beauties!

Any Unwanted Christmas Presents?

Posted in Events, Other Stuff by

Did you get 2 of the same thing or something you already have? Maybe you were given something you really didn’t like or was a little bit “old” for you. Well…..I have found the perfect solution, re gifting, but with a difference.

How many people just put an unwanted present in the ‘present drawer’ with the intention of giving it to someone special on their next birthday/Christmas/anniversary, but never end up giving it? I know I do. So instead of having these gifts laying around taking up valuable makeup space why not have a present swap party!

Like how you get together with your girlfriends and swap clothes that you no longer wear or want, this is the same idea. The rules are simple;

  • Invite a bunch of people around to your place.
  • Ask them to all bring an unwanted Christmas gift to a certain value, and make sure it is wrapped up.
  • Give everyone a number – 1 to how ever many people are there.
  • Person #1 gets to select a gift and unwraps it.
  • Person #2 then gets to either pick the unwrapped (#1) gift or select another wrapped gift.
  • Continue on with each new person either selecting an unwrapped  gift or a wrapped gift.
  • Once you get to the end of the numbers, start again with anyone who does not have a gift and continue until all gifts are unwrapped.

The rules are just guides, you can add whatever you like or even just simplify it even more. Its up to you, it is your shindig!

Its a good excuse to get together with some friends and have a few drinks and nibbles. And you may just get something you love!

Thanks to Brian Worley for the idea
