It’s that time of the year again. What time of the year, you ask me? Well, Teacher’s Day and Mother’s Day, of course. It’s time to hunt for gifts for kiddo’s teachers as a token of appreciation. Wouldn’t want kid to feel embarrassed for not having any gifts for his teacher during their Teacher Day celebration in school. 🙂

Did not know where to go to get gifts actually, but I’ve always wanted to check out Alamanda Putrajaya whenever I go to Putrajaya for events and shoots but never had the opportunity to do so. And so…last weekend, I decided to check it out. And lucky me…I stumbled upon S&J. It is a shop specialized in selling trinkets and plenty of gifts.

I was definitely spoiled for choices in S&J Giftshop. 🙂 plenty of things sold here that tickles me fancy, ranging from soft toys to accessories and small trinkets like fanciful keychains. They even have cute traveling bags. 🙂 Awesome, huh?

Finally bought this for kiddo’s teacher. It’s a tablet traveling cover in bright red with a Eifel Tower keychain. 🙂 you see, kiddo is a special need kid and been in a special need program for quite some time now. Instead of books, the students there used iPad instead, and having seen that his teacher doesn’t have any sleeve for her iPad… I thought it would be perfect for his lovely teacher. 😉

I’m completely hopeleas at wrapping. Fortunately for me, S&J provides guft wrapping service. Phewwwww…what a huge relief! That will save me from nasty paper cuts. I’ve always been clumsy when it comes to artful stuff like this.

So I got kiddo to choose some gift wrapper and ribbons.

And handed the items we bought to the girl in charge of wrapping.

Here’s the gifts, ready for teacher 🙂 And the cost for everything including the gift wrapping service? Merely RM30. Quite reasonable price to pay. I usually burn more money for Teacher’s Day gift every year.

A surprise for me from my boy

It’s huge! Wonder what is it? Can you guess what my boy got for me while I was busy choosing gifts for his teacher? It huge! And pretty soft. Hmmm…wonder if it is soft toys? Can’t wait for Mother’s Day to unwrap my gift. 🙂

Spin and win contest spotted at the counter. Ohhhhh…with just some purchase you can actually win some prizes. Wow…a trip for two to Nagoya! That sounds awesome, isn’t it? I’m gonna give it a try. Never been to Nagoya before and I bet it would be an amazing experience.

Anyway…once you have made your purchaes, don’t forget to apply for membership for discounts, points and privileges.
