#11:Christmas Gift Idea:Games we play!
Since, bringing in some of the brands featured in this blog, we have had so much fun at home and sometimes at work! (Shhhh...don't tell our bosses! =))
Another popular product/range that has been flying off our shelves this Christmas season, are these educational games fit for kids and well, adults alike!
Another popular product/range that has been flying off our shelves this Christmas season, are these educational games fit for kids and well, adults alike!
Some of the newer games are:
And our current favourite:
The Origin of Expressions
Can you guess the Origin of "Hit the sack"? Did Bavarians actually hit a sack before going to bed? Or were beds made from sacks filled with hay? Guess the origin of common expressions – or bluff your friends! Hear what your friends think – or are they trying to fool you? Origin is the hilarious game that explains why we say what we say. Laugh your way to discovering the startling beginnings of modern expressions!

And then of course, those Silly Putty's are now available in CzipLee:
Silly Putty, The Real Solid Liquid, has been the standard of excellent fun since 1950. Silly Putty is a very unique substance. It stretches without breaking, yet it can be "snapped off" cleanly. It bounces higher than a rubber ball. It floats if you shape it in a certain way, yet sinks if shaped in other ways. It can pick up pencil marks from pages and comics from some newspapers. If you slam it with a hammer, it keeps it shape, yet if you push with light, even pressure, it will flatten with ease.
Check out the University of Silly Putty!
Oooh, what fun! =)

A touch of tradition!
Pilot Pen products are always close to our hearts. There is that sense of familiarity regardless of which make or model of pen we pick up. We just know that it is a Pilot product! What more, their pens are pretty innovative, chic, different, and cute!
This Christmas season however, Pilot is bringing us closer to home with two range of pens that certainly gives you a traditional feel!
Introducing the:
Pilot Ageless Collection; three lines of distinguished writing instruments, each an impressive example of quality and performance at an affordable price!
The concept for Ageless evokes a spontaneous questions:
"Is it a pen or not?"
The Past Series has a wooden grip in Dark Red or Brown barrels:
The Present Series features a tinted resin grip with Lime Green, Mauve, Blue or White barrels:
The Future Series is characterized by a metal barrel in Silver, Orange, Red or Purple:
All these pens feature a unique double-twist tip, allowing the entire nose and tip to fully retract into the body for a clean, polished look:
The Ageless Collection's smooth ink flows effortlessly from the refillable ball point tip. The wide gripping area provides superior comfort and control, and an attractive metal clip allows the pen to be carried just about anywhere. Each pen comes beautifully packaged in a stylish,two-piece white or black storage tube, individually enclosed in a gloss white gift box. The tube can also be used to display the pen vertically.
Pilot Fumi Raku Ballpoint Pen
Pilot Fumi Raku twisting mechanism ballpoint pen, is a stylish ballpoint decorated with wood, aluminum and Japanese Nanbu iron.The Nanbu iron is very famous in Japan and it is considered the best quality iron since hundreds of years ago!
Available in an assortment of traditional Japanese colours in full aluminum and Nanbu iron:
Or in a combination of traditional Wood, Aluminium and Nanbu iron:
Simply presented in a Japanese-paper box, the coloured range is a really nice gift for ladies! And for the guys? The wooden ones of course! =)
