I Can’t Keep Secrets

September 15th, 2009 @ 2:15 pm by Mrs. Toucan

Sometimes I get so excited about a gift to hubby that I give it to him early.

Mr. Toucan once mentioned that he wishes he had some cuff links for his work shirts, as opposed to the little rope knots that he usually uses. I knew of the perfect place to get him some cuff links, and planned to give these babies to him in…

I’m not sure I can top the Mister’s awesome gift to me, however, here it goes…

For our paper anniversary, I stuck to the theme and bought The Mister 1 share of Disney Stock from FrameAStock.com. FrameAStock.com allows you to purchase a single share of stock and an actual stock certificate that can be framed as a gift.

Paper Anniversary Gifts: Him to Her

When thinking of gifts to give each other for our anniversary, we both tried to stick to the traditional 1st year gift theme of paper (anniversary gifts by year).

Before I tell you what Mr. T’s gift to me was, I should explain that it is usually very hard for him to buy gifts for me. I think I have some sort of ESP that only…

Celebrating One Year!

June 9th, 2009 @ 1:01 pm by Mrs. Toucan

I think our first anniversary was probably a little different from most, in a sense that we spent all day celebrating it with family and friends!

We started our day by going back to our reception venue, Jin Asia Cuisine Restaurant, for a dim sum brunch with my parents and sisters. It was somewhat surreal being there. The last time we were there, we were introduced…
