sale! once in a lifetime!

this is an advertisement.


the first advertisement here. and the last, i think. so, be grateful you are witnessing history in the making. but it's not a paid advertisement; well, i don't get monetary gains from the mention, unless you count the exchange of friendship and some dinner treats, that is. but for my dinner treats to come true, you loyal readers have to spread the news and generate some sales for us first. think of it as a good deed to put food in my tummy *grins*

product.







gift bags. not the mini tiffin carrier. that is not for sale. hop in here for more details. if you know anybody who needs these, you know where to re-direct them. start with..'there's this fantastic site that....' and use adjectives such as 'bargain', 'magnificent', 'wonderful', 'once in a lifetime' (people always can't forego it if they think they'll never be able to get another opportunity like this again) and 'sale' (yes, this will perk up anybody's ear!).


and wait, we have more than one measly item in our stock. ta dahhhhh!







and for the unimaginative lots, i have thought of 50 ways on how to use the gift bags....mostly as gift bags, of course... duh!, but not necessarily!

#1: to store your diamonds....or crystals. i've seen swarovski does it, and it makes one feel soooo rich. cut glass, if you can't afford the above two.

#2: to put sweets in little bags. halloween's round the corrrrrner.

#3: to put little candles, heart-shaped of course, as souveniers.

#4: to put little bottles of perfumes, as souveniers again. nothing like people linking you with smelling good.

#5: to put your bandages and little first-aid items. the most fashionable first-aid-kit around. the motto: if you got to get hurt, get it with a little style.

#6: to put your diamond ring in, for proposal. the ring in cake or champagne trick? a little overused. and the risk of swallowing it?! gasp! put it in our little gift bag, an original idea!

#7: to use as nice props for photography?? that's what i did! *grins*

#8: to put little birthday cards in instead of envelopes. hey, paper is out, recycleable bags are soooo in.

#9: to keep your money in, instead of wallet. what's the first thing thieves steal? wallet, right? will anyone steal your little gift bag? no one will even bother to look!

#10: to keep chocolates/sweets in. for diabetics. important to always keep some sugar near you.

#11: to keep a little notepad and a little pencil in. for your literary attacks or some important notes.

#12: to keep your little hairclips in. if you just throw it into the big black hole that is your bag, you can say goodbye to it forever. it'll take you an eternity to find it again.

#13: to keep your little coins in, little being the operative word. will probably break if you try to stuff it full of coins. see, what an honest salesperson i am.

#16: as decoration for chinese new year just stuff it with some tissue paper and leave it everywhere - the red ones

#17: as angpow packets. how original!! you'll be the envy of the town. especially recommended for people with big fillings.

#18: to keep sweets in. again?? no, as gifts to people, and you can say 'sweets for the sweets'. ahhhh, will brighten up anybody's day. this falls under tips to court girls.

#19: to keep a bottle of nail polish, as gifts of course.

#20: christmas is round the cornerrrrr....forget wrapping paper! how not environmentally friendly. impress people with your love for 'green issue'. use the gift bag for every gifts. we only have one size, so your gifts must be pretty small. for ideas, read the other 49 ideas.

#37: put little erasers or pencil sharpeners as reward for good behaviour

#38: fill with pebbles and throw at robbers when they steal your things.

#39: you just realise it's your niece/nephew/so and so's birthday. you didn't get any present!!
how embarrasing. you can give her some cold hard cash, that always work. but you can't just give her like that. she'll know it's last-minute. what can you dooo?! you look in your bag, you see that little gift bag you bought which that fantastic blogger lady told you about, you empty it's content and put the money in. ta dah!! another ackward situation averted. you thank that fantastic blogger lady in your heart.

#40: you write little love notes for your special someone and leave it everywhere. she opens the toilet cabinet to take her toothbrush, she sees the love note gift bag, she reads it, awwwww. your day is off to a good start. purchase can come with suggestions on love note contents, if required.

#41: for the trendy tai-yee-lung (money lenders), put your death threats and 'when are you going to pay me, you ^@&*&^#%*&@^! i'll burn your house if you continue to ignore my messages' in our little gift bags and you'll start a new trend amongst your trade. who says tai-yee-lungs have to be all harsh and brute?

#42: necklaces, pendants, pearls, brooches, all types of jewelleries. it'll make a wonderful gift bag. one that ladies will appreciate more than boring paper wrappers.

#43: treasure hunt? easter party? passing the parcel? balance the bag? pin the bag on the shopholic? it'll come in handdddy for party games.

#44: it's your partner's birthday next week. you've bought her the present but she's always
saying you've got no imagination. what can you do? just hand her the present?? boringggg! starting from today, send her on a treasure hunt. give her the first clue in the little gift bag that'll send her in the direction of the next clue, which is in the second gift bag. after a series of gift bags and clues, the more the better for reason of our sales of course, the final bag reveals where the gift is hidden. awwwwww, this also falls under how to keep it hot.

#45: one red egg for each bag. for full-moon souveniers of course!

#46: as bookmarks. you think of bookmarks as long and slim. ever seen a fat squarish cloth one? you've got to think out of the box more often!

#47: when you've got a lot of stamps from letters you've received all over the world. and you want to give them to me, who you know loves collecting stamps, do you just go, 'nah!' gasp! that's crude. you'll put them nicely in a beautiful gift bag to show me how much you think of me. *grins* actually, i also collect hard rock cafe shot glass, evian annual edition bottles and fridge magnets and i don't mind any of that being in gift bags either. except for the evian bottles of course, which i doubt can fit.

#48: jelly for the belly? that's the 2nd instalment of the 'sweets for the sweets' idea. little jelly snacks.

#49: reaching my target soon. phew! themed giftbags. for people who stink a little; a soap of bar. for people who talk too much; a cellophane tape. for people who are mean; a fake plastic poop. for people who are nice; a heart shape candy. for friends who can't kick smoking habit; one cigarette and a lighter but tie a dead knot so that the bag can't be opened, with a note 'open in case of emergency'. for pregnant friends, a piece of ginger or sour plum - 'suck in case of emergency'. for habitual latecomers; a clock. for accident-prone people; a plaster. for blabbermouth; a stapler...or a nail.

#50: keep your passwords? whoever will think to look for a password in a gift bag!! just don't forget and accidentally give it out as presents :-)

i can come up with 50. i'm sure you can come out with more. it's practically indispensable! so, now that you know about this place http://idealgift8.blogspot.com/, remember where you can get it, if ever the need arise. when you go for meetings or parties or events or baby showers or stag parties, start conversations with 'i know this great place that sells........'. you get the idea.
