Make someone frustrated and happy with a gift

What does it mean? How can a gift that make someone frustrated also make someone happy? Well, this idea actually comes out when I suddenly remembered what happened to one of my friend many years ago.

It was Christmas celebration and everybody was exchanging gifts. So one of my friend received a gift which is nicely wrapped. Then she started unwrapping it. She thought she could see the gift after removing the wrapper. What did she see? Another wrapper. Not only another but one after another. The gift was wrapped with many gift wrapper including newspaper. She was frustrated at that time cause it took her quite a lot of time just to see what it was inside. Well, the story stopped here. (Cause I have forgotten what she received. Hahaha).

To make someone who wants to open the gift, you may do this. You can also use newspaper as the wrapper to make someone think that the gift is a very ordinary gift. But to make someone happy, you should gift the content inside a very special thing, perhaps a DIAMOND RING. Hahaha.

This trick seems to be an old-fashioned one, but it does work when you give it wholeheartedly. But if you give something very precious, don't make it until the receiver over-frustrated until he/she throws away the gift. If so, your effort to make him/her happy will go in vain. So, consider before you do.

Unique Bear Doll Desktop Speakers (video)

Do you want to find something special for your friend as birthday gift or valentine gift? You probably think of teddy bear or other doll. If your friend is also someone who likes playing computer or spend long hours working in office, you can consider giving teddy bear desktop speakers. This kind of gift is very suitable for someone as desktop decoration. Also works as something that relieve stress from long hour work. Make sure you test the sound quality of the speakers when you are going to buy (you probably get speaker with nice design, but low quality sound). Let's watch the video here.

Christmas Gift Idea - Unique Flash Disk

Christmas is coming soon. Have you thought what to give to your parents, spouse, teachers, friends, staff, colleagues? Well, if you think it's hard to make the decision of what to give, I think you can give something not only decorative, but also practical and useful gift, like Christmas USB flash disk.

Flash disks have become very common in our daily work. Therefore, it shouldn't be something that you use at work only. It could be something that can be given as surprise or unique gift. For example, if you are a boss and you wanted to give something as reward for the whole year hard work of your staff, you can consider giving flash disks to your staff. Flash disks won't cost a lot and very useful at work.

For teachers, if you want to give something like a prize for those well-progressed students after exam, it's still very suitable. This rule also applies to parents. Reward your children with something unique which they will use at school.

For your spouse, instead of giving a diamond ring, why not give a diamond or swarovski USB flash disk. If gems are what you give every year, then why not make this year a little different.

For your good friends, you can give them cartoon flash disk (of course flash disk with Santa Claus picture or figurine will suit best).

The following are some flash disks which I found under Creative Common Search at Firefox toolbar. Hope they can help you find a suitable gift. Merry Christmas (oh, too early to say this). Ho... Ho... Ho... Santa Claus is coming to town....




Wrapping gift with cloth - recyclable gift wrapper

When you have bought a gift for someone, the next thing you might probably think of is to find the suitable wrapper for the gift. You will of course think of decorated paper wrapper, a gift box or perhaps a gift bag, or even all of them. Whatever you think, you probably can also consider using an environmental-friendly method to wrap the gift.

One of them is to use cloth. This is called Furoshiki gift wrapping. Why do some people tend to use cloth? This is because cloth is recyclable. Unlike paper which can be easily torn. It is also flexible cause you can tie and make a knot. The video below shows you how you can use your cloth to wrap your gift. You can use the cloth to wrap books, bottles and chocolates. You can also make a cloth bag. After watching, who knows you can come up with new creative idea of using cloth as gift wrapper.
