This is so late, but last Christmas, these are a few of the gifts we got.

Marks & Spencer decaf instant coffee. Sadly, I don't drink instant coffee anymore so I'll let my dad have this.


Beansprout. This is a locally-made eco bag that my sister got.

I've been trying to minimize my carbon footprint. Whenever I buy something from CD-R King or if I buy something small, I ask the clerk not to use plastic bags anymore. I just stuff the items inside my bag. I've been forcing my parents to use green bags as well whenever they are buying groceries or tiangge-shopping. So this gift is a welcome one.

And this is one of the gifts I gave myself:

I don't really buy anything that costs more than a thousand bucks aside from electronic gadgets like my iPod nano or my digital camera. So it was really hard for me to buy this one but what the heck, I needed a new bag.
