GIFT NOOK

Here are some of the shots taken during the motorcade. Super saya naman mga bata sa pag-iikot sa downtown Naga. Naenjoy nila masyado na pinapanood sila & nakukyutan mga tao sa hats nila. My friend, Gina did the hats. I didn't have much energy left after doing the balloon decors at the JPII Atrium & supplying the balloons for the motorcade. It was fun, fun, fun nevertheless.

On December 21st, my son turned 4. We decided to give him a Cars-themed birthday party as he is an avid fan of Lightning McQueen. I made three photo invitation samples for his dad to choose from. Eh hirap daw pumili, so we ended up printing all three designs.

We have decided to show some of our finished products here in the blog (upon the approval of the person who ordered, of course!). This customized diaper cake is made for Nicole who celebrated her first birthday with a Disney Princess theme at McDonalds, Naga Citylastmonth. We made a pink-and-yellow nappy cake for her.

You sure want your gift to be appreciated by the receiver, or more, to elicit a lot of "oohhs" and "aahhhs" and "wows" to the recipient and guests alike.

How To Choose The Perfect Gift:

Listed below are the things that you have to consider when thinking of the appropriate gift.

1. What is the occasion? What is the theme? Buy your gift to suit the occasion and match the theme of the event. This will make the receiver feel special that you bother to choose the "right" gift for the occasion.
2. For whom was the gift? For expectant or new parents, giving a gift that includes baby items would be a great idea. But if they have already bought a complete set of baby necessities, then a gift for the parents would be best. For toddlers and preschoolers, an educational toy or a diaper cake (with ingredients appropriate for them) will be more appreciated.
3. What's your budget? Choosing the ideal gift could prove to be a real challenge with a limited budget. But remember, it's not how big or how expensive your gift that counts. Ultimately, the receiver will cherish the gift that he/she knows that is well-thought-out and carefully chosen just for him/her.

Trivia:

DIAPER or NAPPY?

They are basically the same, although they have "different nationalities". "Diaper" is the term used by Americans. In the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand it is widely known as "nappy". So whether you meet an "American diaper" or the "Australian nappy", they have the same purpose: they are worn by a baby as underwear to absorb bodily waste.
