Day 1 - surveying all the possibilities. I did not have a big budget, I mean, he's not my boyfriend, so tak payah la nak spend banyak sangat kan? hehe.. Gosh, buying things for men is a difficult task! Men don't wear a lot of accessories, so the scope is quite limited. I went back home with zero idea!
Day 2 - after about an hour of surveying, I settled on this table lamp. It was funky and different but certainly not new arrival. I didn't know why I bought it in the first place. Yes, he just moved in to a new house, so the lamp would be perfect.. but... eee... tak best! tak best!
Day 3 - went back to JJ. The table lamp will be a gift to another friend je lah... Stress giler cari hadiah untuk mamat ni. I wanted it to be different - something that he wouldn't think of! Then, sheeda came up with an idea. We went to the household section. I bought him a japenese plate with a matching bowl, a spoon, a pair of chopsticks and a mug. Then I spotted a matching tray which fit everything nicely. I then bought a plastic container that can be used as a drainer as well as to keep the set securely. He lives alone and seldom cooks. He always 'tapau' his food even at the office. Thus, this individual dining set is just perfect to be used and kept in his office! Mission accomplished! I hoped he would like it and most importantly appreciate the time and energy I had spent in finding him his birthday gift.
Hadiah tu sememangnya tak mahal, tak de brand, tak lah sehebat mana... But at least it was different than what he had anticipated (u know stuff like shirt, tie, tie pins etc). And... I put in 100% effort to get him the present. That's the most important thing and I hope he realised that!
Happy Birthday Z!
