My First Christmas Gift To My Hubby!

My Husband and I have only been married for a little over three (3) months so it's our first Christmas as a couple! I thought long and hard for the gift that will carry through our whole marriage. But since the gifts we purchased for our wedding were hard enough to come up with, I went for a gift that is simple, inexpensive, something I can put under our Christmas tree but definitely something he loves! What fits the bill?

My hubby loves Trailmix - the candy-coated chocolates (M & M's kinda!), peanuts, dark raisins, and almonds we got from S & R. We served them during our wedding reception and my hubby loves it so much. It has become his favorite snack!

So I wrapped a pack of Trailmix in Christmas wrapper, included my favorite wedding picture of us with a letter giving him hint of what he is getting.

Postcript: Hubby opened his gift in our bedroom, and claimed his most wonderful elf wifey this Christmas! (wink* wink*)

Our Mini - moon Destination: Estancia Hotel Resort

Because of time, budget and my hubby not having a passport, our dream honeymoon vacation in Maldives and even a long - hauled getaway in Taipei, Taiwan have to take a backseat. Comes the idea of taking mini-moons (i.e. short and within the country vacation after the big day). And for a starter, we didn't have to go any further (literally) since our first stop was the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception!

Our silver wedding package with Estancia Resort Hotel - Tagaytay comes with free two (2) nights stay at its first class, uniquely designed rooms like Santorini clusters or Executive Rows.

We opted for Executive Room because it is closer to the reception venue and is spacious enough for the wedding preps. The room has an air-conditioning, cable TV, hot and cold running water, telephones and minibar. But what I like most about our room is the private balcony, complete with sun loungers for alfresco eating and a breathtaking view of the Taal Lake and the lush and beautiful surroundings of Tagaytay.

It surely makes our first breakfast as a couple romantically blissful! And with the view of the Santorini, it gave us a feel of being away on a getaway in Europe.
