As I blogged before, I want to personalized my gifts to the people I love. That's why I have decided to do some DIY projects. Well most of my projects, I gave it to N. (Hehe) The real plan is that I 'll give matching mugs for me and N, photomagnets for my relatives, snowglobe for my friends and cookies for other good friends. But I didn't have enough time to finish them all so these are my gifts to them.
First of course, are the gifts for my love. (lande haha!) But I'm pretty sure he liked these, especially the Nike KD quote tee. It's his wish so there's no element of surprise. That's why I added the DIY gifts for him, and my favorite is the matching mug. I just failed in doing the heart, and it's not that really easy. :| For the third gift, I made the snowglobe which I put the domo pendant I bought a few months ago. I like Domo and he used to give me Domo stuff. Fourth is a photomagnet which has our recent photo together. Fifth, Sudoku book game because it's one of his past times while waiting for me. Sixth is the super folded disposable towel and volunteer ID from Bayanihan Republic. I gave him those because they are special. The towel remembers me of our first date. We are being so sweaty during Paskuhan 2010 and because I care for him, I offered him a disposable towel and put it on his back. He likes to be taken care of, but not too much. And the ID, he technically owns it but he forgot it in my bag. I really gave it to him this time to let him know much it mean to me - going with me attending ganaps. So for the seventh gift is the Superman shirt because I definitely feel safe with him. But I forgot to bring it with me, too excited to see him! LOL And for the last gift, just a notebook of my letters to him.
I wasn't able to take photos of the other gifts. I'll just ask N to take them for me. (haha!) I was planning to give him 12 gifts but there's no time. The others would be a lyric wall art, turn that lost earring into a pendant, and brownies and cookies. I'll just give it to him next time. <3

Of course the Enablement Christmas Party. As my "baby" a.k.a. my boss requested for the exchange gift, I gave him a white undershirt and Eukanuba dog food. I baked them brownies too! It wasn't that perfect, so I'll bake them another one soon. =))
And so for another baking story, I made cookies! Gave to other close friends.
And to my favorite beaches in the world, I shall give you this soon as we hang out again. Missing them terribly (naks) Anyway, I used brown paper bags as gift wrappers 'cause I'm taking being "green" seriously. I'm going for a Green Christmas, as inspired by my local environment show, Born to be Wild. Most of my gifts are wrap in this style so yeah, it's definitely from me. ;)
Sadly, I wasn't able to do photomagnets for relatives but I gave them eco bags / canvass bags. I want them to be aware that those simple things can really help the earth. Char! (Sobrang seryoso naman kasi. haha)
