Gifts from Europe
DH just recently went to Europe for a ‘business holiday’. Hard to explain here, just think of it this way – he has to take a client there for holiday, okay?
He came back on Tuesday. I reached home quite late that night, and saw this on the dining table:
Being a non fashionable, non brand conscious, non sensitive woman… I completely ignored it. Chatted with kids (they got some new toys which DH bought from Europe), chatted with DH, without even suspecting or expecting that something was for me!!
DH then said, “Ya, you must have guessed that’s for you!”
I was like “Oh, okay, thank you”
Then, to give face, I just opened and peeped inside, and saw this:
You know, I am really really dumb, when it comes to brand. I saw this, and I was thinking, “Oh, a small bag. Hmm… when can I use it? Urr… not really that great looking wor.”
I think DH maybe got disappointed with my expression, but didn’t realize that I completely no clue of what Dior is. LOL! Well, actually I was also stressed at that point, because the new maid’s existing employer was to visit in just a few min time!!
Then, DH said, “I have something else for you. You will be very happy to see it…”
Then he took out this one:
My mind was occupied with how to handle the unexpected request from the lady (maid’s existing employer), so was rather ignorant on the fact that he actually bought a GUCCI bag for me.
Okay, put it this way, I am not that brand conscious, and I have very little knowledge of brand. I have never owned any handbags above RM300. And the amount “RM300″ is the latest revision. It has always been ‘below RM150′ as my benchmark. The RM300 handbag was bought only recently from Bangkok, which is a genuine leather bag, not one of the ‘branded’ ones.
I didn’t immediately open the pack, just put aside, and wanted to get ready for the guest.
Then, DH rushed me to open it. Maybe he was disappointed with my reaction (sorry dear!). So I opened and found this evening bag:
DH said I never have a proper evening bag, and this one looks versatile, and be used in all occasions. I just used it last night for our annual dinner.
Talking about that annual dinner… sigh! I got my aunt to help me make up (coz I seriously cannot do myself!). Half way, then I only knew that she has longsighted, just started recently. She couldn’t see me clearly, and at the end, the result was a little too much. I think I looked like an old witch in the party. A little like a scary old monster. Ya, looked old. With too much powder. But I was running late, no time to do anything. My very first annual party here, and I left something for people to talk about. LOL!
Oh, that Dior, I haven’t completed my story yet… I only realized, just before I went to bed, that it is not a bag that DH has bought me. Hahahaha! Ya, I guess all of you have guessed it. Ya, it is actually perfume! Addict 2:
I am hopeless, I know, when it comes to brands and fashion. Hahahaha!
DIOR!!!!!GUCCI!!!!!!!!!
yorrrr, you arrr…not excited AT ALL meh ?
I see the paper bag oledi my eye’s widen. So nice, your DH should go Europe more often. You get more bags and we get more chocolates..:)
aiyu: excited lah, but slower loh. It only shows that I ng-sek-foh. Hahahaha!
haha…so it was a free bag from Dior huh….ur hubby’s taste not bad leh, i bet if mine goes to get a bag for me, will turn up something i don’t like. Don’t say branded lah, so far those fr China already I pengsan when I see it
jazzmint: Hahahaha! Ya, maybe that’s why sometimes our other half don’t like to buy things for us, coz surely hard to please us. :p Hmm… I guess, guess har, that the bag was probably chosen by his tour mate. :p LOL!
Suzette, so sweet of ur DH to get gift for u le… Especially after got 2 kids! some man just “STOP” doing all the gifts, surprises and those thingy…
Jazzmint, U r right, sometimes man can’t seem to choose the thing that we really like.. hahahahah so usually i will pickl my own gift.
OMG, Dior + Gucci!!!!!!!!!! But yr expression is out of expectation ….. Like Aiyu said, by looking at the Bag itself, the eyes will be wide open!
omg! i so want that bag and perfume!!! Amazing husband you have! envy envy!
wow ur DH sooooo nice! lucky U!! and u quite blur blur hor
i would yell like crazy if I have those!!!
Branded or not branded, it’s the thought that counts. If he were to buy non-branded stuff, are we supposed to be angry or disappointed? Of course not! We shouldn’t be mata duitan, especially towards our own husband! He’s being so thoughtful and nice, your thoughts should be how to thank him properly
Silvery: True, very well said!! But hor, my point is not about whether he bought me a branded stuff or not. It was just that, I have no sense of brand. He expected me to be super excited about those brands, but like you said, branded or not, I am the same. I never expected a gift, whether he bought me anything or not, I would just accept it. I am probably just too cool on this stuff. Shh… don’t let him know, or else he won’t buy anything for me any more! LOL!
