tasty!

Charmaine’s Wishlist April 29, 2010

(alright I forgot about this draft created last year on the 24th of November but I suppose this applies to every subsequent birthday as well)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Yes I was born after Christmas so my birthday parties would be rather sad without my relatives.

Here’s why:

1. People could get away with getting me ONE present.  (2-in-1 gifts XMAS+ BDAY!)

   

2. People could recycle gifts.  (I vaguely remember a mini catfight/cold war at a party…)
3. People could get me kitschy gifts. (I got TWO $1-shop items from an unidentified party guest. Yes it’s not the value but the thought which counts but two items! I really would’ve preferred a handwritten card.)
4. And because it’s Christmas, no one came to my birthday parties if I held it the weekend before my actual bday! ):

But there’s always my extended family and I can think of many reasons why they are simply amazing.

1. I am fortunate enough to have close-knit ties with the extended family. (Aunts, uncles, cousins and their partners, nephews nieces…)
2. They (60 loving people!) ALWAYS attend my birthday parties. (Excluding the 22 in Vancouver.)
3. Can you imagine the number of presents? I had over a 100 items once. mwahahahaha and yes they could range from the kitschy to the interesting. (Imagine popping 14 party poppers… How nutty was that! Only Steph & Sebas could come up with that. (: DO NOT SCARE ME ON MY 21ST.)

Anyways this growing list is targeted at the clueless guests-to-be if y’all don’t really know what to get me.
(Allocating resources more effectively, people!)
Oh and to avoid duplicate items you guys can just let me know what I’ll be getting so I can strike it out. HAHAHA

Food-related items
It’s no secret how much I love food. (You are at my food blog!)
Some items I would <3 to get…

1. Silicon baking mat (Silpat or Calphalon. The pink range from Calphalon is SO PRETTYYYY. Available at Tangs Orchard and Vivo. )

1. Japanese cooking condiments (Dashi mirin sake and others!) Inane, huh but totally not cheap.
2. Valrhona Chocolate and Marsala Wine
3. Vanilla bean pods

   

4. Dining/shopping vouchers at Culina or any other gourmet food place

Stuff I would love to have

1. Charmmy Kitty stuff (Anything!) [Hello Kitty's glam pet-cat with her own pet hamster, Sugar!)

1. MAC Makeup (Lipglass/Palettes etc.)

   

2. Lancome Gloss in a nude shade. The colour code eludes me. (#217?)



3. Laneige Snow Crystal Dual Liquid Foundation
4. Giorgio Armani makeup (I received a limited ed Holiday Crystal Armanisilk lippie from Mei Wa last year. PRETTY!)


yummy lippie gift!
