Gourmet Gurgai'an

Some of my relatives are on the look out for new ideas for Gurgai'an this year and are not too keen on the thought of distributing co-op bulk candy and nuts for this Ramadan's Gurgai'an (!!!). So I was taken by surprise when I was shopping around at Dean & Deluca and found some Gurgai'an samples. I was like "Whooha! Gourmet Gurgaia'an!!?! That would appeal to some!" They had small baskets of dried fruits, mixed nuts, dates filled with flavored something, and candies. So if you're interested, prices start at KD 2 per piece.

Dean & Deluca is located at the Avenues Phase II. For more information, please call (+965) 2224-2224.

I think that adults’ interference in gurgai'an has ruined this occasion. It became more about who with the best looking, highest quality, most expensive and decorative ones ... etc

Kids are no longer enjoying it! They find themselves suddenly dressed up with wired unpractical flashy clothes (some of those outfits are not even authentic Kuwaiti)

Thank you for the post :)

I totally agree! The're using gurgaia'an to show off.. they forget the whole idea of having a gurgaia'an is to share and give.

Honestly, I thought they'd be pricer but not bad from a gourmet store..

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
