Perfect Gift: Snow Globe

“Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion.” - By Javan

Why do movies always depict that Snow Globes are the perfect gift every girl can have? What makes it special other than seeing those snows or glitters floating in the water as you shake the snow globes? Answer: Magic!

Magic lives in the heart of many girls in the world. The magic that emerges as they shake and see the glitters float with the water inside the snow globe. It’s the magic that many people do not understand; the magic that brings patience, hope, faith, and love. That as you shake this globe brings a frown into smile, a tear into laughter, and dreams into reality. Sounds fancy isn't it?! Yes, because magic is fancy, it is a state-of-mind that brings positivity to whoever believes in it. And snow globe brings magic!

Likewise, the floating glitters give magic and satisfaction to someone who intensely desires of snow. I live in a country that never snows and seeing this snow globe made me feel like there is a real snow around me. It gives me satisfaction to experience snow even with this little glass. And it also, gives hope to my dream, that someday I will experience a real one.

Go snow globes and sprinkle the magic!

Books for Gifts! Books for Teens!

I consider myself a bookworm. I can stay hours scanning a bookstore than a department store.

I love books.

I love reading. 

I love every part of it. 

I love receiving books too! 

Yes, books can be given as gift to someone, but most people do not know about it; they thought that it’s just some old boring gift. 

Also, these people do not know that teens nowadays are showing keen interest to books, especially for the books turned movies. So, the advantage of living with my teenage nieces is that, I was able to familiarize and adapt to their preferences. 

So, now, I created a list of books perfect for your “teenage” daughters, nieces, cousins, friends, etc.
