Eid Gifts Ideas


Hi beauties! Today is the 14th day of Ramadan and in half a month, we'll be saying goodbye to this blessed month and this would mean Eid is in the air. What have you prepared for your Eid? Do you already have ideas on what gifts to buy this Eid? Special meal menus maybe or perhaps a lovely dress? The very sad fact that we are away from home and are not expecting visitors on Eid, I haven't thought of any preparation to be made and since I am that type who love to work on last minute, might as well sustain that reputation and think about it only when its around. 

Anyway, today I received a very early Eid gifts from my colleague. I am on leave for a month now and this is a surprise gesture from a co-worker. This present comes in a very cute package. I love the thought that there was effort made and I truly appreciate it. Inside the brown gift bag is a transparent violet-striped wrap and what's inside the wrap?




Oh my! This cute apple green pouch greeted me as I unwrap it. I so love the color. It's refreshing. It's cool. What's inside the bag is another surprise. Actually as I was unwrapping it, I was making wild guess as to what could be inside. First, I thought it might be a brooch because she know how crazy I am in brooch collection. But then, it seems heavier as I shake it so it couldn't be a brooch. Perfume maybe, I thought. But no, it is these two girly things. 

A clear mango soap from Body Shop.

                          

It's been a while since the last time I dropped in Body Shop and I didn't know they have this mango soap. This would be my first try and I hope it would be gentle on my sensitive skin. I normally don't use 
soap on my face. Most of them irritates my skin and would invite pimples to pop. I would be doing a follow up post on this Mango soap once I'm done with it just to let you know how it goes.

The second item and a scented oil. Just a few drops could turn your room into an aroma-filled haven and would lull you to sleep like a baby. This just came in time because we just finished ours and was hoping to get another bottle. This is 15-ml bottle and would only last two-weeks or less depending on how frequent you use it. 
                                                                                                                                                                     
  

It is already 1:08 a.m and I just can't shut my eyes off. I overslept during the day and this is what I got. I will leave you with this scented oil lit and hope you had a wonderful night.

    1. We are not oblige to give presents on Eid. But giving gifts to friends and relatives if you can afford is such a kind gesture that should be done not only in Enid's but all year round. Thank you for visiting and dropping your comment here.
