Christmas Presents Are For Girls
My department was having a Christmas celebration – and each of us were given an extra job scope – which was to be a Secret Santa, and to buy a secret present for the person we’re suppose to secretly give to.
Sounds easy right?
I went to hunt for a Christmas present. Looked left, looked right and looked everywhere – but I couldn’t fine a suitable one. A suitable one for a guy, to be exact.
So my problem is… I’m giving it to a dude, and I can’t help to wonder… why are the Christmas gifts mostly targeted for girls?
Let me give you some examples…
This cupcake-like souvenir with candy poking out from it.
Suitable for a dude?
No.
Some Lovely Lace Christmas Special gift box – with pink ribbons.
Suitable for a dude?
Mehh?
Fluffy soft toys. Cute furry ones.
Suitable for a dude?
Nah.
More fluffy soft toys. Adorable eyes with innocent look.
Suitable for a dude?
Seriously?
More and more fluffy soft toys – the graduation bear.
Suitable for a dude?
What is he suppose to do with it? Play bear bear?
Pink gift set with teddy bears, cups and scented candles.
Suitable for a guy?
You think I wanna seduce him is it ah?
Some lamp decoration perfectly packaged with lavender fragrance.
Suitable for a dude?
No – it’s so Twilight.
Photo frames and mugs. Loves and more bears.
Suitable for a dude?
His girlfriend/partner can get him that.
MOARRRR cuddly waddly fluffy soft toys. Gigantic ones!
Suitable for a dude?
Am I out of my mind?!
————————————————————
Alright, that’s enough of examples.
But I eventually gave up looking for a present from the typical gift stores, went straight to Starbucks and got this…
Yes, Starbucks Coffee gift certificate. WIN!
Definitely way, way better than getting some Christmas decoration or soft toys for him right? After all, he can at least enjoy a good cup of coffee.
So my department had our Christmas lunch recently. The buffet spread was great, and all the presents are set.
A lady colleague of ours temporarily turned into a Santarina and gave out the presents.
Everyone got their presents from their own Secret Santa. In return, I got this…
It’s from Body Shop, and the bag is filled with Joy. Simple and nice.
But it’ll be more joyful if Joy is a lady, if you know what I mean. :P
Anyway, I opened up the box and…
A plastic flower, my Secret Santa probably plucked it from some tree decoration in the shopping mall.
And then…
A shower gel. For this, I guess my Secret Santa must think I’m stinky. That’s why he/she got me this shower gel right?
But interestingly enough, it’s also called as Gel Douche in whatever language (German, French?) it is.
That’s quite offensive huh? Douche!
Anyway, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a Christmas tree. The shopping malls have humongous ones, restaurants have moderate ones and we have the smallest ones in our home.
Since every one is getting one, I decided to get one too.
After months of preparation, dedication, hard work and persistence – finally, my Christmas tree is almost done…

Yes, those are my Christmas tree’s main decoration! Heh!
A finishing touch at the top…
And jeng jeng jeng, my Barbie Christmas tree…
Nice or not? I’m sure Barbie must be really, really proud of Ken. ;)
Anyway, most of you wouldn’t be reading this on time anyway. You’ll probably be shopping, count-downing and clubbing – typical Malaysian culture mah!
So yeah, have a wonderful and joyful time of the year – wishing you all a Merry Christmas! :)
