A sock full of goodies
I got this Christmast present from my officemate Maika. She filled this striped sock with lots of goodies that whisked me back to my childhood. Are any of these things familiar to you?

    What a great gift idea, especially for people who were born in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Major blast from the past! Until now, I love plastic balloon! :) LOve your blog, by the way. :)

    Hi Roe! Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again. 😀 I love plastic balloon too!

    Akin na lang iyong Choc-Nut, Kendi-Mint, at iyong medyas. :-)

    Sure! Okay lang ba na walang kapartner ang medyas? 😀

    the goodies literally bring back a lot of sweet memories. sana may manor house chocolate pa. and white rabbit minus the made-in-china stigma

    I think the white rabbit poisoning report was disproved but the damage was done. :/ And anyway, even if they say it’s not dangerous, I’m still not eating it anymore. The stigma indeed!

    i know flat tops (chocolate) because i see it here at the Filipino store. i like it. that’s a wonderful idea to give to coworkers. happy christmas. let me know if you got the gift i sent.

    It’s easy to put together AND a really sweet gesture.

    I shall let you know!

    I was so happy when I found some plastic balloon at a local dollar store here in Colorado and I was able to introduce my little tisay to it. She enjoyed it for a little bit but it was so windy that day and the balloons just did not last long. Then, I also got her jack-stones and I have yet to show her the mechanics of it. She does not believe that I used to be a “champion” at this game.
