Ebay Finds

Ebay is a great platform to buy and sell items. From stationary, jewellery, clothing & technology pieces - (almost) everything imaginable can be searched with access to both local and international sellers. Over the past 6-12 months we have purchased various items and we thought it was about time to share some of those with you!

Gift Ideas: 365 Memories

Another semester has seemingly past right through! Amongst the chaos of exams, pulling all-nighters and skipping lectures (& then regretting them later on T.T) I must admit it has gone by soooooo fast XD. In my fourth year of uni its come to the stage where people are starting to graduate - going their separate ways and in a sense becoming a 'real adult' to full time jobs or postgraduate studies. One of my good friends is an international student and at the end of the semester is leaving to go back home *sobs.* We had been good friends since first year of uni so our group wanted to put a scrapbook together of all the memories.

Now let me introduce you to Printstagram - a company that prints your Instagram photos! I stumbled upon this in my "what to get your friend who's leaving" googling adventures (haha). One of the products they offered was a calender. Basically its a calender with 365 photos, where each day you tear a photo off one by one & then can later on can keep them as decorations or photos themselves. I thought this would be absolutely perfect cos each day she can look photos, so it would be memorable as well as functional!

Giveaway & Review: Personal Planner

Recently we had the opportunity to try out a personal diary, thanks to Personal Planners.
The unique aspect of this was that you could personalise everything yourself, from the front covers, down to adding your own personal important dates.

Here's a brief breakdown of the steps we took & some tips along the way, for when you make your own personal planner :)
- Picking the size of your diary! There are 4 sizes to pick from: small, medium, large and A5
-Making the front cover was definitely the most fun part and the only things to keep in mind was that you should make sure your front cover is high quality (prevent pixelation when printing), and also we advise you to not hold back from the vibrancy/color of your front cover (we will explain below)
-Picking your diary's inside layout, how the week spread would look like, what to have on the bottom etc!
-Deciding what to put on the back pages (3 options), we decided to go for the 2014 overview, sudoku, ruled and square lines.
- Picking accessories for your planner; we went with the blue ruler, elastic closure and the plastic sleeve.

Since I bought it overseas I thought I'd ebay it for you guys....the price is pretty inflated tho D: D: so I'd suggest maybe checking out gmarket - a "korean ebay" (but international shipping is very expensive) or else if you have a  friend travelling there to get you a few pairs!
