long-awaited pics! =)
before i begin, question: what do you get a birthday girl who could possibly afford anything and everything on her own? heh. (don't refute dina, you most definitely prolly can!)
if you think this question is tough, then you'd understand the dilemma i was going through days prior to my girlfriend Dina's 30th birthday! i know she loves her tiffany (i think she has enough to open a tiffany store), but i don't know what she has and doesn't. plus i know sa and company were already getting her the tiffany keys necklace. (very gorgeous too, if i may add!)
so i thought long and hard, and it came to me one day when i chanced upon these gorgeous robin blue boxes - very tiffany-esque. so i got them in all sizes available, and decided i'd fill them each with goodies, but what precisely, i don't know yet.
it somehow all came together while i was shopping with my sister at robinsons, and here's what i ended up putting together for the birthday girl..."the 5 Tiers of Happiness", as the husband puts it. lol!
trying to re-create that "tiffany" feel. =)
ok here are the goodies!
the moment i saw this keyring, i thought it was "sooooo dina". she's always whipping out her lippie after meals and before photos! heh. and i had noticed her car keys no longer had that diamond keyring as before. so box number one, top of the tier, was this lipstick keyring accented with diamentes. pretty!
box number two is this diamente brooch from chomel. i love brooches! they jazz up your outfit brilliantly! and this goes perfectly with the present in box number four. =)
lol! ok this lent a slight wacky touch to the whole gift! well, it was a small slim box, and it was either this, or a CD. and CDs are boring! plus it won't go with the whole "theme" of the gift! sexy undies do! =)
box number four! a pretty very Jackie O inspired navy blue boat neck dress. i'm loving navy blue at the moment, and i know she'll look gorgeous in this. see what i mean about the brooch being perfect for it? and i got this dress after i got what i got for box number five! wait for it!
a gorgeous pair of navy blue pumps from urs inc! love the flower detail on the front! and it's so easy to shop for her, lah, she's my size!
all the gifts put together
birthday girl all dressed up! doesn't she look like a president's wife? heh!
and dina's right, what's missing is the birkin! lol!
*beams* i love shopping for special people. the planning, the purchase and the putting together is so fun! and if the presents are loved, all the better!
okay, i shall now leave you all with this photo taken the night we ambushed dina on her birthday:
goodnight everyone!

Sheida:

Dina:

what an ingenius idea Ann!
and D... that Jackie O dress looks so smashing on you!
That's awesome!!
Budak ni kan....best fren dia panggil "Ma", Mummy dia panggil "there"....Mintak cubit mulut kan...heh
eh sorry another OT post, im lovelymum here.. for the quinny buzz u need alot of strength to press down right? Wanted to buy one today and try pressing it down but me alone, no matter how i press, i cant press it down!
Lol, and of course i didnt get it and hoping to go another store to try because hte spring back up mechanism is a bit faulty and im not sure if it affects it?
Hey ann...
That's a terrific idea for a gift. Would u take orders for that ? eg ; I supply u with all the stuffs and u make it into tiered cake for a bday present , adding decor and stuffs.
I would love to do it myself but I am horrible at craft work
Hi Linda. I don't have a problem with mine actually. maybe the one you tried is still new so it needs some getting used to? =)
it should otherwise be very smooth and requires minimal strength.
