Eid Presents #2

Topic of the Day: PRESENTS!!

I wanted to give all my family wonderful presents! I'm not one to grab a gift card or some easy cash, so if you know me - don't ever expect that! I'll usually do that as a last resort when there's nothing else I can think of to give to you - however it will be a gift card to a specific place that I think you'd enjoy! For example, a co-worker of mine would always chat with me that she would love to go to a spa and we'd talk about it all day long. For her birthday I surprised her with a $25 Spa Gift Card that can be used at 1200+ spa locations in the United States. If I see you staring at an item long enough.. Well I remember EVERYTHING. ;)

I wanted to get my aunts something as well - just because -
so my sister and I chose these. A different flavor for each aunt! :)

      Next up are my cousins that are closer to my age range. Here is a picture of us together:

So I wanted to get something similar that I can get them both but have them be different but have no hard feelings that I favor one more than the other since I like them equally the same, lol. Tough huh? Well I figured out what to get them and I think they both really loved it! Guess what I got.. LUSH PRODUCTS! They come packaged in these beautifully wrapped gifts with 2 products.

This purple one had wrapping paper that glowed in the dark!

You could smell the luscious scent of soap through the box!

I have a boy cousin that I had bought a Wii for on his graduation but with no games. So I went ahead and added onto that by purchasing a Wii Fighting Game that I hope he likes as well as a Wii Controller that looks real but is candy instead!

Moving on, there are three cousins of mine that are the youngest bunch in our family. They are 15, 13 1/2 and 11. So obviously they can't drive or go anywhere. I want to be a good older sister to them and remember their birthday, take them out to spend the day randomly like to a theme park, go kart racing, mini golfing, etc and give them presents for Eid and other occasions!

Here is a picture of them when they were little munchkins:

I don't remember how old they were in this picture.. such cutie pies. Now they're turning into such pretty, smart young girls. The oldest in the purple her name is Z, the middle wearing blue is Hopscotch and the youngest in the pink is Emonster! :) 

So I'll start off with the oldest, Z. Short for Zainy Brainy, because she's a smart young lady. Booyah. That rhymed. Totally off the fly. ;) Anyways I know she loves clothes and jewelry as any 15 year old does. So I bought her an outfit which I think she'll like, a beautiful scarf that she picked out and a necklace to match her shirt. I think I did a pretty good choosing if I do say so myself! :D 

I got the I love Paris Shirt from Papaya, the Turquoise Scarf is from Macys and the Paris Necklace is from Forever 21! The shirt has pearls lining around the heart and I think it goes so perfectly with the necklace which has a single pearl dangling at the top. 

Next up I have who I like to call my middle twin since we're both squashed between our siblings! Hopscotch! She's got little dimples that you can sometimes see when she smiles real big, like here! Outspoken and speaks her mind - like me! She's like her sister - in that she loves clothes. I bought her one shirt and found another in my closet that I never wore and made my legs look way too long because it's a crop top. So I thought "hm, what shorty person is a size small and will fit them perfectly?"

 

Then of course to complete the outfit I bought a set of cute earrings to match! I saw these and thought they fit perfectly with what I had gotten for her. The gold round studs go with the button shirt while the owl & rose works for both.

Lastly we have the youngest of her sisters and in the family. Slightly spoiled and gets away with it all - Emonster! Since she's still a bit smaller than her sisters, her interests also vary from them. Whereas they like reading books and playing outside she likes staying in and is glued to her electronics, ipad/phone/tv/etc. According to her Instagram she can't wait to go back to school - so why not get her school supplies! The most fashionable things so she can go back in style and show off to all her friends! ;)

I came across this really cute polka dot backpack at Aldo Accessories, the original price tag was a whopping $50 but I got it on sale for an amazing $20! It's a bit on the smaller side but she's also 11 she's not carrying heavy college books. I didn't want to just give her a backpack and call it a day since I'm giving her sisters multiple things, so I filled her backpack with cool surprises!

I started off with some really pretty folders I found. It's two in one, the first on the left has pretty designs the purple on the right has a zebra pattern both have a lot of sparkles in them. I also got her a pack of airheads, lol. I know, it's kinda random.

       I also found the cutest pencils! They have the little sweaters you can slip on for a tighter grip. I thought they were simply adorable. I always loved doodling in my notebooks so I thought a set of colorful ballpoint pens would be fun to have too. :)

       I've been seeing a mustached craze going around lately. Everything has mustaches on it. I thought this was such a cute notebook to have and I've been buying everything turquoise/teal lately so why not get a notebook to match, lol. :)

It looks so cute all bundled up together!
