Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

Hubby is never big on special occasions such as Valentine’s Day or Christmas but sometimes he can be spontaneous.

His birthday is coming soon and I’m scratching my head on what to get him. It can be hard finding him a gift cos he prefers to buy his own most of the time. But I saw a hanging mobile in the markets the other day and thought it made a good gift for him. He’s not one of those who will surprise me with allesandra lingerie valentines gifts but I know he loves me and needs some time to learn gifting. For me, it’s nice to remember the occasion but it doesn’t need to be extravagant or flashy just to show the other person how much you care.

No matter how small or big our gifts are this Christmas, what matters most is the thought and heart that counts.

There are many languages of love and for some people, receiving gifts is a way to show and express love. I used to like all kinds of roses especially red roses bundled together in a big bouquet. They are romantic and comforting. Very sensual and attractive and it will impress any recipient, old or young. I wish my hubby reads this as it’s been a long time since he bought me any roses.

So if you are running out of gift ideas for someone you care about this Christmas, order a bouquet of flowers for him or her. It will sure impress.

Christmas is the time where we give and receive gifts. But sometimes it’s hard to find the right gifts for the person you are gifting to.

When choosing gifts, it’s good to take some time to find out what’s suitable for the recipient. I am one person who prefers practical gifts so I will sometimes ask the person her preferences and wishlist. One year, I bought Lipofuze for my sister who was trying to lose weight and she was facing some difficulties. I do agree that there are times it’s hard to shop the right gift when you don’t know that person that well.

As the season of merry is here, what matters most is the heart and not the content of the gift. When there’s a heart, the gift is often more special.

I just got back from Singapore and it was a wonderful shopping trip for me. Very sadly, I left my hometown and will miss all my close friends.

I’m back home and just got an email on the coming Black Friday promotions online. Since Christmas is just about a month away, it’s a good time to start shopping and find some great gifts at great prices. This year, I won’t be wrapping any gifts as we are on the move and I don’t think we have time for that. With online orders, I can request for gift wrapping and that does help to save me lots of trouble.

So I’m off to do a quick search on what’s good for Christmas and then it’s back to packing and more packing!

This is indeed an exciting year for our family and myself. We are married for ten years and it’s amazing how time flies!

My hubby isn’t big on gift giving and I don’t expect much from him anyway. But I’m just waiting patiently for my birthday gift in three months’ time. He’s that sort of guy who doesn’t do too well with hints so it’s better to be direct! In fact, there is no excuse for him not to buy any 10th anniversary gift cos online shopping is so convenient! While some prefertraditional wedding anniversary gifts, others prefer something more unique, contemporary and out of the norm. Whatever the options are, what counts is the essence of gift giving.

I guess it’s still not too late for me to choose a gift and get him to pay for it. I know it’s not going to be as exciting as a surprise but what matters is that I’m still happy at the end of the day.

This year, DH and myself will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. After a few rounds of discussion, we’ve decided to take a trip to Hong Kong for a short celebration. Looking back, the ten years seem like yesterday. It’s amazing how time flies!

I was wondering if I should get him to bring me to a jewelry store where I can view and pick something that sparkles. Like they say, diamonds are every girl’s best friends. It sounds like a cliche after a while but some women really hold on to this truth so dearly. They may not be part of an indie lifestyle but diamonds can be nice to behold and dear to cherish. I suppose it’s more meaningful when diamonds are given as a gift to someone you love. It’s tagged with love, appreciation and value.

But diamonds or not, I’ve chosen to take a trip to shop for the things I like. I’m not sure if I can find any indie shops to visit but if time allows, I’ll be checking them out.

Valentine’s day is coming and it’s a time where lovers and couples exchange gifts, showing their love and appreciation to one another. If you are looking for special gifts that are close to an indie lifestyle, some couple gifts below will be good considerations.

I remembered my husband used to buy me skin care and beauty products since he knows very little about indie fashion. He will spend hours reading reviews and browsing in the web to find out what makes a good gift. One year, he read some iQ derma reviews and bought me some creams for my allergic skin! OK, back to some Valentine’s gift ideas for couples, here are some nice gifts to look at… you will like them if you have been leading an indie lifestyle. They may not be handmade but the creative and minimalist designs are truly sleek and hip:
