Yuletide Gifts

Instead of sorting out the presents at home I do them at work. Nope, it's not procrastination. I just think it's a good idea because there's always a real chance that the cards and ribbons will be damaged in transit. Plus also it's fun! :) The same as last year and the years before I give away the same type of chocolates. But this year I got something special in my inventory: Mozart Kugeln! Their tins look so nice that I had second thoughts about giving them away.

As far as chocolates are concerned I always make sure that I give away ones that come in attractive packaging, either in nice little plastic boxes (ie. Ferrero Rocher) or exquisite tin cases (ie. Guylian). The reason is that after finishing the contents ,the people that I give them to has something that they can keep and use, unlike the typical carton boxes and plastic pouches that end up as rubbish. And of course it also means that it's not necessary to wrap them, which saves me a lot of time and a bit of money. Neat!

This has got to be the unhealthiest order that I made this year. It's Deep Fried Potato Wedges with half a dozen grilled bacon and the same number of melted cheese slices on top. YUM! Hehehe! And I almost forgot! The guys also wanted a huge dollop of Sour Cream and heaps of Sweet Chili Sauce. Geez! I'm actually quite curious as to what his New Year's resolution will be. Hahaha!

And this is an attention-grabbing gift from one of the staff. It's a stress ball that looks like a skull. It looks a bit dull but it gets a whole lot more interesting (and gross) once you squeeze it. Hehehe! As soon as you press it the eye pops out. In it there's blood, worms, rats, cockroaches and other creepy stuffs. Hehehe! That's Emma by the way in the background. She seemed amused!

She came in to say "hi" and to see if I was alright. I think the sight of me playing with a stress ball got her a bit worried.  Hehehe! She also gave me some of her fave candies. Mmm... I love sweets! She said the Zappo's really nice. And I have to agree. :)
