➹ gifts from seoul ^^

Another good friend came back from her Seoul vacation and brought back some AMAZING goodies for me!!!


The Shinhwa album is my special request ❤ ❤ ❤. The rest just shows you how immensely thoughtful and wonderful my friend is!


I am particularly in love with this divine N Seoul notebook! I am telling you guys, the souvenirs from N Seoul tower are must-haves. I mentioned this in my previous Seoul Souvenir Shopping post. I just can't get enough of how nostalgic and adorable the N Seoul mementos are~



And then I'm adding one more to my Seoul postcard collection. This latest one is from the National Palace Museum of Korea.



Now I'm really missing SEOUL because of all these goodies ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ.

➹ korean gift package ^^

Gift boxes in Korea can pack so much thoughtfulness and goodwill! The ones I've seen in movies and dramas usually consist of many small gifts with cute handwritten notes on each special item. There is so much care, imagination, and sincerity poured into such pretty gift boxes so I have always wondered how amazing it would be to get one. I pictured how delightful it would be to open up such a package full of smiles and discover cute endearing messages multiple times.

And then one day, my Korean friend sent me one such package through EMS! I excitedly opened the box like a kid on Christmas Day. And just like those treasure trove of delights I've seen of movies and tv, I found so many sweet surprises from my dearest friend!




She knew how much I adored Korean culture so she gave me these ramyun, soju and mekju inspired trinkets for my phone! ^^ I also got the cutest Korean passport holder and post-it notes!!!




And then of course who can resist cute stuff?! I got some really adorable angel wings and bunny ears plug ^^ Yay!




And if those didn't make me feel like the luckiest unni in the whole world, I also received some traditional food, a personal letter and a handmade bracelet! I am IMMENSELY GRATEFUL!!! I seriously have the most amazing dongsaeng and I pray that I will be able to take care of her as much as she cares for me. Aigooo ...
