Cafe Lilou Ramadan Gift

Yesterday, Cafe Lilou sent me a huge lovely basket filled with lots of Ramadan goodies called "Le Panier Ramadan". 

They knocked on our door exactly 30 minutes before the maghrib prayer time, and it was this lovely big brown basket beautifully wrapped and a cute postcard on it. Me and my husband were soo excited to open it and see what's inside! And my oh my, the lovely basket, what's in the basket, and the lovely smell drove us insane. It was soo tempting, we wanted to taste everything but we couldn't, we had to wait till after iftar time. 

Inside the beautiful basket was; dried fruits, nuts and dried fruit loaf, mixed sweetened nuts, date swirl, and two cute jars of confiture (Raspberry and blueberry)...

The basket was beautifully wrapped with a cute postcard with my name and my blog's name on it. 

It was filled with so many yummy things, nicely gathered and presented

Raspberry and Blueberry confiture

My favorite; Date swirl with sesame.

This is what I fell in love with the most; nuts and dried fruits loaf that goes perfectly well with a warm cup of tea,,, *Heartwarming* <3

Thank you soo much Cafe Lilou for the generous Ramadan Gift, it really made our day!!! =D

Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Ideas?!!

You are running out of time and still thinking of what to get your mother this mother's day??

Well, I know that this post is a day before Mother's Day, but I have made everything easier for you. I have gathered few stuff below for you to choose from for this special day... It is not necessary supposed to be an expensive gift, Mother's Day gifts should be something very thoughtful and sentimental...

If your mom is a great cook like mine, then the best thing to do is get her her favorite cookbook. My mom loves Nigella Lawson and Ina Garten... Such an amazing, easy, and delicious home cook recipes.

Dessange has this great offer for you and your mother, where your mother gets a facial, hair treatment, and a mani and pedi. While your mom is getting pampered, you get the chance to do a special honey morrocan bath and a blow dry... How amazing is that?   -See their offer Here-

Debenhams, and specifically the cosmetics section, they have a Thank You Mom offer, where you buy a perfume with no specific minimum price and you will get a scratch coupon with some great gifts. 

Or you can get her an anti-aging set, from Clarins or Clinique or any of her favorite brands... This Clarins offer I found it in Debenhams too...

Perhaps a beautiful pendant from Damas, Mother's Day 2012 new collection...

Buy a yummy mother's day 'Waheed's cake' -Here- a caramel crunch and red velvet flavour from Cafe Lilou and make this Mother’s Day special, where all the proceeds made will be donated to The Child Care Home. Order your cake on 17715370.

Makeup brushes from M.A.C... Ever since my mom saw the brushes that I have from Sigma -Here-, she fell in love with them. And I think it would be a nice gift to get your mom a good quality makeup brushes that will last her a long time...

Well, that's about it guys, let me know what do you think? and please tell me what did you get your mom on her special day... =)

Happy Valentine's Day

Some of the gifts that I got for my hubby...

This year I didn't buy my hubby an expensive gift like I always do! I thought this year I should get him something that has a sentimental value and he would appreciate the idea of it... So I decided to buy him something that he was searching for -for almost 2 months-, and yes, I found it easily for him and will give it to him as a valentine gift; which I know he will be surprised and happy about it. But that's not the only thing I got, I also bought a lot of other things which are affordable that he likes, I gathered them all together nicely with some heart shaped milk chocolate and a cute card. I will give it to him once he reach home after I cook his favorite lunch -Oh and ofcourse I will shower and look good directly after cooking, hahah-...

Incase you are wondering why is there's a not clear picture of a starring cat with a 100 Qatari Riyal in his head doing here!! Hahahha, well it's my mother's cat... This is my mom's way of saying happy v-day to me and my sister via BBM... Such a cute mother, I love you mamaaa and miss you soo much <3

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you my lovely readers... May your life be filled with lots of love, health, and happiness!

Love,

Alla
