GIFT FOR MYSELF

Since I started working in 2009, I have to make sure that I bought something for me every christmas as a remembrance of my salary. I'm not talking of a hundred dollar thing but it's something worth a thousand. Christmas 2009, I bought my very first Nikon DSLR Camera. I paid $1500 since that was the first out in the market. I paid it cash from my salary. That was the very first expensive thing that I bought for myself. In 2010, I didn't buy anything but I traveled from Quebec to Edmonton, Alberta with my own money. It cost me $700 for the ticket plus my pocket money. It cost me $1,500 plus my husband gave me few hundred dollars for extra money. I was so thankful for that. I didn't buy anything but I had a very memorable trip and met my friend. Infact, I was staying in their house and I visited my auntie in Calgary at the same time. In 2011, I bough this Macbook pro that I'm using just now. I only spent $1,000 and hubby paid the rest :-) because I bought a property in Philippines at the same time. I could pay the whole amount of my Macbook if I didn't buy a property but it was a good deal so I grabed it and until now, I'm still paying for it.

This year, I'm thinking of something that I can use all the time and I guess, I'm gonna buy a watch since I don't have a good one. I'm eyeing this Ice Time Ladies Elite diamond watches (photo above is the model I wanted). This watch cost $3,999 but they a have a very good deal. Today's price is $795. I'm so amazed how big the discount is. I guess I will have to buy this while the price is still low and this will be my christmas gift for me. So excited :-)

GIFT FOR MY HUSBAND

Hubby's birthday is fast approaching. Everytime I ask him what he wanted for a gift, he always answer "nothing". For him, my present is already a very nice gift. But still I always give him something. I already started to shop for his gift but since he's not here and we don't know if he will be here on his birthday, I stop shopping. I already found some but I don't want to send it to him by mail. I would love to go in Alberta to be with him on his special day but I know it's impossible. One of my co-worker gave his resignation letter today and it means that I will have to work over time until my boss will find somebody to replace him.

When I was talking to him this morning, he told me that the weather there is very cold and maybe they will have snow in the weekend. He don't have winter boots there and he's thinking of buying one. Oh oh, he's giving me an idea for his gift :-) I told him to just wait maybe the weather will go up since we're still in mid-september.

I've search in the net for winter boots that I can order and deliver directly to where he is. I found the one that I like (the photo above) and i know that hubby will love it. A nice boots from Clarks shoes. It's a leather boots and it's warm enough for the winter, from his condo to the office. I guess it's perfect. I like the style, it's elegant. I will order this soon so that he will have this on or before his birthday. I'm so excited now.
