So, it’s my birthday month and Bubster said I can pick my presentsss, haha. I’m not a spoiled lil’ girlfriend - wait a minute, I’m kinda spoiled but I am reasonable. At least I would like to think so. I don’t think boyfriends should spend ‘too’ lavishly on a girlfriend unless he’s earning mega bucks or has a big trust fund. My Bubster is earning a decent income but I don’t believe in him buying me anything more than say, $1K.
Recently, a friend got his girlfriend a Prada handbag for her birthday (and he’s a full-time university student!)To me, that’s a holiday for two - it’s too much for me, but I think it’s really awesome for him to do so. I think you should set a healthy ratio of the price of the gift against your income. Subjective? How much do you think boyfriends/girlfriends should spend on their partners?
I picked my awesome non-branded bag for my birthday - haha, a YAK PAK Megu handbag (retailed at SGD$59.90) from Spin The Bottle. Bubster and I love this multi-label shop - firstly, it’s a breath of fresh air from the local fashion scene. They bring in cool brands like The Lifetime Collective, Fortune Denim, GAMA-GO and etc. We bought a few T-shirts and a GAMA-GO bag from them over the past year.
Jenny Humphrey carried this in an episode of Gossip Girl. Avril Lavigne has been seen with one with skulls print. I just found out today that YAK PAK handbags come with lifetime warranty for any manufacturing defects. I got the YAK PAK Megu’s Grey Ivy Forest. I spent a fair bit of time deliberating between this one, Grey Bamboo, Black Swallows and Pills.
YAK PAK Megu handbags are made of soft cotton twill with satin interior. I was looking for a casual, weekend mid-size handbag and this is cute, even though it’s not exactly cheap. It’s also their best-selling purse range. I love the size of the bag, and it’s versatility. It also comes with a cute keychain in the built-in pockets. Hee. That’s yours truly’s birthday gift #1. It may not be Prada but it’s pretty fabulous!
