I was determined to do a Christmas shopping for my family this year! It's really odd and rare that I have this sudden thought of getting everyone presents this year as I have never done something like that in the previous years. I'm not sure why but this idea came out of the blue and I just feel like buying something in expression of my appreciation and love to my family.
I know, buying presents is not the only way to show love to my family but it certainly will put a smile on my family members' faces, so why not? I mean, who doesn't like receiving presents? Mummy didn't really believe it when I said I wanted to go Christmas shopping and she was like: "Oh? What made you decide to buy presents for us this year?" Meh!
Anyway, I actually buy gifts for my family on their birthdays but not Christmas...because we are not Christians and we don't really celebrate it. But there's this Christmas spirit ignited in me this year and don't ask me how or why!
So, I withdrew an amount of cash from my bank account so that I can shop without budget. NOOOO I'M JUST JOKING. I'm always aware of where and what I spend my money on because I earned them all by myself and I learnt not to give them away for nothing :x And yes of course, I bought the presents with the money I earned.
My mum and aunt asked for a photo lol.
Anyway, we dined in Jogoya before our Christmas shopping. The delicacies served were really delicious and filling!
After having our scrumptious meal to get our energy boosted, it's time for Christmas shopping!!! I requested to shop with my cousin sis only while my aunt shops with my mum. I want to keep what I was going to buy as a surprise for them! Besides, I would end up buying nothing if my mum follows me to shop because she will be constantly making exclamations on the price of the goods and the long queue at the checkout and the.......okay okay let's carry on.
Bought some new clothes, skincare and body products for my family! And I just realised that I haven't got anything for my daddy yet because I didn't know what to get for him. :/
Let me think...
Meanwhile, I have also made a special video for this blog entry!!! Hope you guys enjoy it! :D
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone an early MERRY CHRISTMAS! Don't forget to share with me your tips for Christmas shopping if you have any! ^_^
