Selfless Good Gift

Selfless Good Gift - Part II

Did you manage to visit Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah’s museum shop? This place is a must-see. It carries items inspired from the DAI/The al-Sabah Collection and collections from around the world, as well as an extensive collection of carefully edited books with topics ranging from design to history.

Let’s see what’s what other great gift ideas you can find at the shop. As I mentioned in my previous post, all proceeds from the sale are used to support programs of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. So in a way you are supporting your community. So, why not get these lovely bookmarks with Arabic alphabets. They make an ideal gift for the bookworm in your life, and they’re only KD 5 each.

Cute cushions case with camel zoomorphic calligraphy which states in Arabic "May God protect Kuwait. It’s a good country”.

Fabric notebook printed with blue and white lotus, inspired from Chinese porcelain

Mini zip lock bag with Palestinian embroidery makes a great make-up bag or coins bag

Silver boxes that can be used for many things.. favors, jewelry box, bukhoor box, gift box, buttons box. Yes I do have a box at home dedicated for my collection of buttons which I have been collecting since I was 8 years old! And some were even inherited from my mom who happened to collect them from the early 60's! I have yet to find a project for this... so-called collection.

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.

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare. This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
