Tessie and I were busy looking for the right gift for our friend Maritess for her 45th birthday on Sunday. We are planning to give her a home or garden set. After all, gardening and taking care of the home is her hobby and passion. Tessie said Maritess told her that her garden hose is not working properly already. So off we went to the SM today to see what we can find. Whether it’s a garden set or a garden hose, we are sure Maritess will love what we will give her. She has such simple joys… However, when we got there, we found nothing. Darn! Now we are going to get her something separately…

So here I am browsing through my favorite shopping and information site, ShopWiki… I ahve always been a fan of shop wiki as I am able to find so many great things there… It is revolutionary for shopping since it actively seeks out every store on the internet in a similar way that Google finds every web site. Kinda like the google for shopping. When you search for something, it crawls the web to give you what you need. That is the part that I like about Wiki.. You see, traditional shopping sites will only show you stores that have paid for placement or links, but ShopWiki gives a shopper everything she or he wants to know, regardless whether they get paid for it or not. For a shopper, this means they can find anything and everything for sale on the web at ShopWiki.com.. And if you are simply browsing, the good news is that, you still get more than what you expect… Take for example, the keyword “entertaining“, when you search for it at ShopWiki, many links will be given to you that will somehow broaden your horizons. Added information is always welcome..

So right now, I am looking for a particular gift that Maritess may like. I key in the following keywords: outdoors, garden, gardening, green thumb, garden accessories, and anything else I can think of that might give me clues as to what gift I will give my friend… Hmm.. I think I am getting a great idea here. Maritess may want garden tools, or manual seeders or even gardening outfits… Uhm.. What should I give her? OMG! This is even more difficult than I thought.. tsk.. tsk.. tsk.. I think I should give her something for the home instead.. A clock maybe. How about a pot or a vase? How about home tools? A rocking chair? oops.. I think I am the one who wants that. Silly me.. lol.. A pillow perhaps?

Anyway, it will still be on Sunday. I can always use all the information I have gathered here to decide. I am giving myself until 12 noon tomorrow to finally get things in proper order..
