Trinket for my bag!

Here is something useful for us ladies. Its a key hanger for your Neverful's or Nova's or any handbag, really. Especially when we dump your car/house keys in your handbag....and then spend half an hour rummaging though your bag to find it.

Basically all you need to do is just hook in the big clasp to the key ring...

then slide onto the side of your bag...or the inner partition of your bag...the key will hang alongside your bag.

makes it whole load easier to get your keys out when you need 'em! Just slide it off, unhook it from the clasp when you need to use it.

Currently 3 pieces are available for RM 25 each. This is not handmade.

The 2010 Gift Giving Guide

"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens~

Charles Dickens nailed it. I've liked this quote ever since I came across it. It is true, for all the eleven months of the year that we get caught up in our lives, its always at year end we take stock of our lives, evaluate our decisions, we celebrate, we regret or we let go... most of us, think of someone else other than ourselves for a change...we think of GIVING... to tell the people in the circle of our lives that we are thinking of them...and to help you with that...have your thought count, here is MT's Gift Giving Guide for Christmas 2010.

I admit, most items found in my site are more suited for women than men (sorry guys!). If you are shopping by budget, please direct your cursor to the right of this webpage (http://maggiestrinketbox.blogspot.com), the items I sell are seperated by budget...below RM 20, below RM 50 etc)

and also seperated by item of choice ie, necklace, earrings, bracelet etc

Still stumped? Read on, I'll give you a helping hand. Click on the image for more details on the trinkets....

Looking for something for tweens and/or teenagers? Charm bracelets are a good choice. I've recently added some charm bracelets found here. The charms holds a good reminder of what's important in life. Read more on the charms by clicking on the image below.

Alternatively, easily matchable earrings like these makes good choice, like the dainty heart shapped earrings below:-

Something for the kids? Besides the latest electronic toy? This fun starfish/fish pendant...it will be their favorite.

Do you have a bookworm for a friend? Bookmarkers are good choice.

Getting something for a fellow church member? Bookmark #29 (the right-most bookmarker) is suitable for their prayer books or bible. For something special, a beautiful rosary will be loved and appreciated.

Need something special for your BFF? A nice gift will be the Floating Necklace

or these limited semi-precious stone sets will give them something unique to wear

Or even colour customizable Swarovski crystal bracelet as seen below.

Do you have a friend with the most fascinating pair earrings? She will defiantly appreciate this colour customizable dangle for her favorite dress.

Something unique for The Fashionista Friend? An attention grabbing necklace is just the thing!

Or even a chunky bracelet cuff,

Something elegant for your mom/sister/girlfriend/colleague? Something timeless and elegant like pearls will be your best bet:-
