I received belated holiday presents that really surprised me.
I got a Universal Studios Singapore souvenir pen (which is very useful to the writer in me: not only poetry, but work notes, to-do lists including groceries, and everything else) from the mom of the cutest little toddler who believes in Santa Claus (she actually hugged our guest Santa, a nice lady who made her own costume to join in the Christmas revelries).
Another was a pair of drop earrings: freshwater pearls set in sterling silver bought from the famous party-island called Boracay. The gift giver is a friend who spent the New Year in the lively island where she saw a lot of stars including Hayden Kho and Vicky Belo (still lovey-dovey together!).
Thanks Gift-givers, may you have many returns! ❤
