We’re supposed to talk about gifts for this week’s theme. To be honest, I’m not done with my Christmas shopping yet, and to think we only have 8 days left until Christmas. My gifts for family are still not complete. As a matter of fact, I still don’t have gifts wrapped up for my husband and my son.

But my husband already bought my son and me advance Christmas gifts. He bought my son this cute and colorful Funny Flip Train last Sunday.


Two weekends ago, when hubby bought new office clothes, he asked me if I wanted a new wallet, and I said why not? He told me to go to Nine West because he already found one that he liked. He just wasn’t sure it’s what I wanted. He was right; I didn’t like what he chose. LOL! I picked a different style and color.


And just last night, he brought home a small handbag that his office mate was selling. He asked me if I like it. I asked him how much, and he said, “Don’t ask anymore because you’re not going to pay for it, anyway.” So yes, I just became the proud owner of this teeny-weeny Xoxo purse handbag.

Thanks, Dad, for giving us gifts (and love) this Christmas! I hope I can give you a special Christmas gift, too, like a Galaxy Tablet PC. Can I charge it on my credit card, Dad? LOL!

If you want gifts that last, then try giving your loved ones diamond jewelry this Christmas. But don’t just get any diamond for that matter. Go for earth-friendly and conflict-free lab-grown diamonds.

First off, because these diamonds are man-made and not geologically grown, we are assured that our ecosystems are preserved. Moreover, the streamlined process of creating lab diamonds produces less paper waste, which is good for the environment. Finally, these diamonds are grown ethically and peacefully. No one was exploited, and no human rights were violated in creating these diamonds.

You can try colored diamonds for a change, like canary diamonds. Yellow, orange and cognac cultured diamonds are also available.
