I was hunting for birthday present for a friend recently, but without any idea of what to get. So for the first time in quite a while, I went shopping rather aimlessly. I know my budget (under €50), I know who it’s for, but to browse from shop to shop until I feel something is the right gift, that’s a bit of a challenge.

Lo and behold, it was actually easier than I thought I would be. In the very first shop that I dropped by (The Kilkenny Shop on Nassau Street) I found just the gift for her!

Maybe this is a good time to tell you that this friend of mine loves travelling and had just came back from a year abroad, and planning to be travelling a bit more in near future. I certainly hope she will like this but just in case, I also asked for a gift receipt so she can get it exchanged for a different colour or different item in the shop.

Methinks I will also go back and buy one for myself. :-)

Ps: Yup, she does like it, hurray!
