Dude, those are epic! What materials did your girlfriend use for the drumset? Really makes me want to start making stuff again, but I have nobody to give them to so \(o_O)/. As for the gifts I usually give? Poetry! Compose it by yourself. Had I the time to hunt for the materials to make the parchment, I would, but otherwise I usually just write it down on some fancy paper or make a card and put it there. Good for giving to friends on occasions, since its cheap to make. (depending on how creative you are). They just don't compare to the other handmade stuff here though.

Took this from my blog ; Nothing spectacular.



P.S : As expected from Uncle Deimos. Ever the hamsap one.
P.P.S : What pen did you use for the inscription on the box? Haven't been able to get a good one for writing on glass surfaces, they seem to fade easily.

Depends, some actually fade pretty fast. I'll have to stalk some art shops for potential stuff to use.

That would be a little bit strange wouldn't it?

Anyway! This makes for a good gift. Been planning to make one of these, but all my close female friends have gone to other countries.

Whimsey Jar! I know its a little unorthodox, since its more of a pen-pal exchange gift, but all the same eh? I haven't been very creative lately, so not much ideas as of yet. I'll see what I can contribute some other time.

Well made things deserve praise.

Baronic already mentioned. Its not the gift that matters, but how you present it.

In a rubbish bag? No. Just..No.

Felt-tip markers are good for cursive writing, or you can opt for other types. If you have the time, I'd write using tones of each colour. Numbers are hardly a matter, but make it significant if you can. You can do this :

Buy the strips of paper used to fold stars, write a message alongst the writable part (white part). Roll it up into a scroll, tie it with a thread or something. Do it for as many papers you want

Its unconventional and can do as a replacement for stars.

LYN Street Mart is your best bet, plenty of people there sell authentic goods. I'm sure they can help you there.

Don't quote pictures next time. And..I made that card, what on earth are you talking about girlfriends?

What brand? Designer or non?

Also, Christmas is coming! Time for me to get materials to start crafting things again. I'm not quite sure on what to make, but I think I'd like to surprise a few people this year. Will share what I'll be making later on.

Ralph Lauren belts go for $38 and up. I'd say about RM200 and above.

My cousin isn't on so I can't ask her regarding the other designer labels.

Try referring back on the handcrafted things. They make excellent gifts

This is not the place to advertise your sales -.-

That's cool.


Also, I found a real nice art supplies shop in Gardens Mid Valley, on the same level and somewhat near the Food Garden. I nearly shed manly tears when I saw all the copic markers they had. Go go!

And the paper shop in MV has some decent paper for card making.

How about you people stop advertising your sales here , its a place for suggestions la then suggest. Bah.


Baronic, you so need to get that new moderator in.

The ideas are appreciated, the sales can well..go elsewhere. They don't really belong here.

Leave it at home. How you choose to present it to him there is up to you. In a box would be the most practical. You ARE going to greet him at the terminal right?

I'm thinking candles. Now what will you write with them?
