Special Gift

I was in Poros Island and when we entered one of the shops, I found a white elephant. Only one and of course I wouldn't miss the chance. I quickly grabbed it and paid for it. It was also discounted. Quite a good bargain. 

It's specially for my husband as he loves elephant figures.
Next time, I will show you his collection.

My girl in UK is a Christian and she likes to have a cross pendant. I had bought a stone cross for her when I was in Prague last year but she doesn't like it. In Athens airport, I found a cross pendant together with a necklace at Swarovski. Told her about it and she loves it. Will keep for her until I see her again.

At Dubai airport, I bought this soft Camel for my girl in college. She loves soft toys so this Camel is added to her collection.

    Is your husband pleased when you gave the elephant to him? He should be to know that you have him in your thoughts when you were happily on tour in Greece. Can't wait to see his collection of elephant figures.

    The elephant statuette looks exquisite. What is it made of/carved out of?

    The camel and the Swarovski necklace is nice too. Both your daughters will be very pleased. Apart from the clothes for your son, did you buy any other special gifts for him from Greece or Dubai?

    I found that the white elephant is very elegant. Must be pricey right? I noticed whenever you go holiday, you'll still remember your hubby and your kids. Or else you'll brought along your mum. hehehe.

    Swarovski items from any various airport is a steal. I used to buy Swarovski items too whenever I found it from airport shopping complex.
    2 pairs of earrings, 1 bracelet and 1 ring.

    The camel soft toys is another great gift for gal too. I'm not sure have you been to Germany or not. But there's one soft toy brand, i think should be Nici... They have cute soft toys in key chain, magnet and so on.

    Since your hubby loves elephants, he can sponsor and adopt them! The WWF has this campaign.

    The way you took the photographs, I thought this elephant should be called "Armani"....

    I am wondering if this elephant was made from white marble or porcelain. It looks smooth like marble carvings.
