These are a Few of Her Favourite Things!

*drum roll* Fao San turned 30 yesterday! (a week ago, but who's counting?)

30 things I gave her (from the nice to downright bizarre!)

1) Home-made Kaju Katli - Mum made but I commissioned it so its my gift! (Whatta way to start the day!)'

2) Book mark (for the coup de grace gift - any guesses?)

3) Cloth bag (to hold all gifts) (*squealy* pink and floral! I can even use it as headwear)

4) Stitch Stamp (a rubber stamp with the dog stitch from lilo & stitch - a la royal seal) (I'll use it for branding...coz hot irons are so passe)

5) Spidey geometry box (where else would one keep one's pencils?!) (and one's talking spidey pen?)

6) Spidey badge (coz we support neighbourhood vigilantes!) (he is crawling up my sling bag right now)

7) Glitter Glue (one cant have enough of it!) (flaming red glitter glue. I'm using it as make up)

8) Paper Jewelry Box (for whatever treasures one pleases!)

9) Elizabeth Arden perfum testers (technically not bought but economists would calculate its price as me being friends with kritika who knows the sales girls!)

10) Mini Postit (for small thoughts) (petty ones, especially)

11) Oriental Good Luck thing (it had pennies and a dragon - sold!)

12) Cupid Punching Machine (exactly what it sounds, you punch paper and cupid appears! corny but bold!) (just what my love letters were missing!)

13) White Board ( a la friends - now to learn to draw!)

14) Whitener strip (to undo all life's mistakes. if only eh!)

15) Scented Candles (self explanatory) (apple, cinnamon..all things wintry!)

16) Stress Ball (self explanatory) (it has already become a ragged sponge)

17) Glowing sheep (not the inflatable kind you pervs!) (she lies. giggle)

18) Cat-patterned wall hooks (coz every single woman over 30 should have a cat-themed home - this is the first step!) (Next step is taxidermy)

19) Water bottle (coz we all need 8-10 glasses of water everyday) (from a fuschia water bottle)

20-24) Gift set with scissor, glue, eraser, pencil and sharpener (yup, apparently there are others who gift stationery!)

25) Flowers (they smelt better than my 3,500 rupee perfume) (oh, they did! Yellows and violets. They lasted two whole days!)

26) Shot glass (hmmmm, whaddya think?) (What, me think? hic!)

27) Rear windshield slogan? (whats it called?) (bumper sticker?)

28) Book of Poetry (the best translations of Sangam poetry) (the coup de grace gift!!!)

29) Dinner (Pesto Pasta, Cheese Pizza and free Brownie with the best choc sauce *ever* at Mmmmmafia!) (was stuffed to the gills)

30) Mint (coz I ran out of things to buy)

Happy Fao Day all! (aww, shucks, you guys!)

It was one of my best birthdays. And I so needed this one. Thank you, Sam san. So thoughtful. *sniff!* I'll let you name one of the cats.
