Christmas at Jipaban: My Christmas Wishlist!

sponsored advertorial

Tis' the season to be jolly! Christmas is just around the corner again (I can never figure out how the year passes by so quick!) and with less than two months to go, I think it's about time to start shopping for Christmas presents for the loved ones!

Christmas shopping can be an ultimate chore, especially when you're shopping for so many people at the same time! I don't believe in getting generic presents or just presents for the sake of it, but it's certainly not an easy feat to pull off when you have got to get something special for everyone important in your life... But with Jipaban's Christmas Gift Guide, Christmas shopping has never been easier and more convenient! :D 

Thanks to the ingenious guide that Jipaban has come up with, you can now shop unique gifts for everyone: It's really really cute and extremely well-thought of!

There are different categories, such as Mother, Father, Siblings, Couples, Kids, Colleagues and more! And then even sub-categories, for instance, if your mum is a Masterchef Mum (like mine is!) you can simply check out the recommended handpicked items that mumsy might like!

From kitschy baking cups to measuring spoons to useful recipe books, surely something my MasterChef Mum would like!!

And of course, thanks to the convenience of online shopping, all you need to do is to shop in the comfort of your own home, and TADAAAA! PROBLEM SOLVED!!! No more running around the shops cracking your brains over sourcing presents for everyone anymore!

While I'm at it, I'm just gonna share my very own Christmas Wishlist... OKAY FRIENDS. You can get any of the below for me! :D MUAHAHAHA. (I is buay paiseh one.) It took me a really long time to shortlist these few favourite items from the huge variety available on Jipaban!

Wishlist #1: Diana F+ Metropolis and Flash

I am kinda a photography geek at heart! Or actually, it's quite apparent. Is it normal for a girl to own 5 cameras (and counting)? Yikes! But I definitely won't mind one more to the collection, with this supaaaa cute Diana lomo camera!

Wishlist #2: Birds On A Wire Picture Hanger

Sorry, can't resist cute things. I think more than half of my wishlist consists of too cute items which are just irresistible! These birdie paperclips are toooo cuuuuuute! I NEED THEM so that I can display my photo print outs!

Wishlist #3: Mood Light Switch Sticker

And I am always amused by how common household devices like light switches can be transformed into quirky and happy looking objects with something as simple as a sticker! Buy this for me please! :D My room is currently undergoing renovation and once its done, i intend to cute-ify the entire room LOL.

Wishlist #4: Pac-Man Cookie Cutters

If you get this for me, I promise to make Pac-Man cookies for you. I swear! These Pac-Man Cookie Cutters are gonna make my cookies too cute to eat! 

Wishlist #5: Masking Sticker Set

More cutesy things to keep me happy :D I am really very easy to please! Loving this set of happy looking masking stickers that comes in so many different prints and colors! I'm thinking of the hundred and one things I can do with them already ^^

Wishlist #6: Matryoshka Salt and Pepper Shakers

I know I said how everyone's giving me doll related gifts... but honestly, I LOVE THEM! Hahahahah. They are really too endearing and quaint! This pair of salt and pepper shakers nest inside one another and are uberly adorable. Love!

Wishlist #7: Tamagotchi ID L

This is totally random, but I found a Tamagotchi selling on Jipaban and it is even in full-color display D: The old ones were hardly so amazing! I remember playing with Tamagotchi as a kid (all those cheat codes haha) and having so much fun with it! So cute that I wanna play with a Tamagotchi again!

Wishlist #8: Trioxide Tinsel Set

Last item on my wishlist but definitely not the least.. If you still don't know what I like (other than cute stuff and gadgety stuff) you can always get me accessories.. I am an accessories junkie!!! This necklace and earrings set come in my favouuurite shade of purple and I imagine it will be stunning when worn with all my classic year-end dresses for Christmas!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!! :D :D :D

new blog!

welcome to the new blog!!!

it's not new new per se cos i ported all the old entries (150 entries in total! in about 1 year, which means i blog once every 2-3 days for an entire year D:) but i did up a new layout with my own graphics and illustrations ^^

am shifting over to blogspot because although LJ is great, it lacks so many customisable features that blogspot has :/ THUS. the move! but i'd still be cross-posting somewhat, whenever i update here, i'll put a link from the LJ to here :) so for those peeps still following my LJ acct, you'll still know when i've updated and all. not that anyone would be stalking me. but stillll. the LJ archives will still be there too :)

soo yea, that's what i've been busy with the past week, (and also no new launch on TVD last week because i only managed to go to the studio again to finish shooting the collection yesterday) and lastly TVD is going to be joining JIPABAN as a retailer too, in the following week! whee! ok la i know we're abit slow, but better late than never right?? popped by nuffnang/jipaban office a few days ago and the guys/girls there were reaaaally sweet and nice. double yay :)

peektures from the studio shoot: i think shalene and fish were awesomeee in the studio!!! much better than me for sure. minimal photoshop time! besttt.

and some of you must be wondering, WHO IS MY PHOTOGRAPHER.

it's none other than SK of odorikoya fame, who is now extending her services of photographer/post-imager/designer to blogshops out there! and, i think SK is a REALLY good photographer. she really knows how to bring out the best in every model!!! and she did a fantastic job for us :D :D :D :D anyway, during the shoot, this SK kept on going "老闆, shoot finish this item already, can?" WTF until all my models start going "老闆" to me also. and i said "please stop calling me 老闆 leh, if not i have to pay all of you more already -.-"

stress.

back to SK, she's really interested to help more blogshops out there shoot and she'll offer you the full package from styling to shooting to photoshopping to even designing!! i mean, she's REALLY good lor and i think her prices will definitely be reasonable. so if there are any new or not-so-new blogshops out there looking for a good photographer/designer/style consultant and all, GO LOOK FOR SK. email her at swingandsnap@gmail.com to find out more!

and here's the preview for the new collection launching tomorrow!

lotsa yummy stuff, plus restocks/extras from BO for popular items like the MNG-inspired jeggings and 10-button blazer in black! gonna be a fab collection!! i really love the clutch in both colors, and it comes with dual straps too! there's a few items not in the preview as well. huge huge collection! :D :D

before you start thinking that it's my birthday,

no it isn't, but it was YZ's birthday yesterday, so we had a quiet birthday dinner together :)

oh, no pictures of cakes or candles cos i dropped by his workplace the night before to surprise him with his cake already :) hehehe.

back to the pictures!!!!

what we ordered for starter and mains: the thai crispy beef salad (cant remember the exact name) was really nice and tangy, but the skinny pizza was a disappointment cos i read so many raves on it and we didnt really like it plus the diced chicken on it was very dry and unsavoury :( lobster linguine was awesome though, in black pepper sauce and very tasty, with a generous portion too!

just some random pictures. we made reservations for dinner actually but because we were late, they gave our indoor dining seat away and we ended up outside which was quite nice but really dark :/ which is terrible for picture taking. and the restaurant was fully booked D: never quite realised how popular dempsey is for dining, but the entire dempsey road was just crowded with people! so service was rather slow. i made the mistake of asking them to serve the starter followed by mains, and we waited 20-30 mins after the salad for our food to arrive :(

happy birthday sweetie :>
