My Daily Rants: Gift

Yesterday Colin went to attend Sony workshop at Wisma, so I decided to go "window shop" alone. Since the workshop is from 2pm to 3.30pm (somehow it only ended at 4pm), I decided to just walk around taka & wisma to find out what new shops there are since its been quite a while since I last went there.

Just happen to walk past Kate Spade outlet decided to pop in to take a look at their wallet range, not that I'm gonna buy something for myself, but somehow it strike me that I should buy something for my MIL as Mother's Day present.

I saw 2 range of wallets, first one with fabric surface with nice compartments for her, colours extremly striking (Pink, green & purple!!), price just within my budget $280. next one I saw its like snake skin surface but the price really freak me out (no way I'm gonna spend $500 on a wallet).

Since I couldn't decide on the colour, went out to walk one round, in fact less than 15 seconds I went back again & decided to get pink. Paid everything with my own card (not charged to my supp card), wrap up nicely & feel extremely happy cos after 4 years of marriage this is my very first gift to my MIL.

3.45pm - I check my handphone to make sure I didn't miss any of his calls, no miss calls *phew*

4pm - he called me & I told him to meet me at food republic cos I'm thirsty.

4.05pm - Finally met up with Colin, when he saw the Kate Spade paper bag, his eyes bigger than Gor Lee (Marble) ask me what's inside, me feeling extremely happy & proud told him thats for his mum.

His eyes still big big staring at the paper bag ask me buy for her for what!! Wah, speechless with his reaction I reply cannot buy for her meh, he even ask me if its for me!! Oh man, I never like Kate Spade so why buy something I dun even like in the first place. I say for Mother's Day mah, just a "small gift" from me, I use my own money, never swipe card hor!!!!

He say I bought her a Coach wrislet already, why still buy wallet???? The usage of wrislet & wallet is different lah!!! Wristlet she can put other things, she can bring wrislet when she go do marketing or nearby stuff, but wallet only can put money & some very important cards. This is my OWN personal gift to her, no other motives just my thoughts thats all. Buy flowers will wither leh.

He went quiet still cannot believe his eyes & I forget to take a pic of his shocking face look.

P/S: Reason is very simple, I dun wan tongues wagging behind my back saying I use expensive coach bag & buy cheapo or no gifts for my MIL. To show that I (we) appreciate what she have done for us & for the 12 days effort she put in to take really good care of our 2 monkies, this is really the min I (we) can do. She even achieve one milestone that she dare to carry them, clean after them, make sure they're well-fed so that we can go holiday in peace, help us save $300 nanny fees. I truely feel that this gift she truely deserve it. I can be quite sure that if she find out the price, she'll treasure so much till maybe never use. Have to find ways to make sure she make good use of them if not I feel I waste more money!

As for my mum, we'll just bring her out for a meal, extremely hard to buy gifts for cos she have everything most practical gift is to fill her tummy!
