March brings you: 101's, softies, travel notes, beautiful bags & birthday wishes!
Dear friends,Hope this letter finds you well. As we had mentioned before , January and February are usually months of adjustments to the new year. You have your holidays-the new year, Chinese New Year, the Valentine's day special and basically-it feels like it's not really full swing. Come March 2008 (which is now), things are getting "hot" in here. What's great is that CzipLee is proud to bring you some really good stuff that you might consider spending some time to browse through, or to lighten that heavy pocket!
101First off, we have got some 101's happening in our blog itself. We introduced Kajang 101 last month and this month: Bangsar 101 which basically introduces the two bases of the CzipLee business. If you have always wanted to learn more about where to eat, shop, what to do-what people are like in these neighbourhoods-this is a good place to check out the crowd, without having to physically get there yourself!
Soft MoleskinesIf you are into all things flexible, whether it's the pretzels you can contort your body into during yoga, or just flexible working hours - get ready for what Moleskine has come up with: Moleskines Soft Cover Notebooks or in short, Softies! These soft sturdy notebooks can adapt to the movement of the body and fit comfortably in pockets. It is also thread-bound on that ever reliable acid free paper, with expandable pockets and elasic closure. A purrrrfect notebook that can jive to your every move and need, literally!
Apart from the Softies, Moleskine has also come up with more new Cities for its Moleskine City line-up that will certainly get your globe trekking instincts to kick in. Be your own writer, producer and editor with the City NoteBooks that will detail every moment of your travel for the new destinations: Florence, Venice, Chicago, Los Angeles, Montreal and Seattle.Besides being useful for jotting down your own notes of the best places to eat, drink and be merry - the City NoteBooks also come complete with maps showing the layout of the city alongside with the very useful metro system and list of stations.
Look out for a special feature on Moleskine this month!
G & J Bags
Something else to look forward also to a whole new range of practical accessories that CzipLee is introducing. Always ever ready to spot and to work with independent and budding entrepeneurs, CzipLee is proud to bring you the gin & jacqie (g&j) range of very functional bags. Whether it's a gym tote that you require, or the huge bag you require for the baby (babies), or even a laptop bag, or the professional range - g&j has a diverse offering of bags, with affordable price tags to complete the package with. Be sure to check out part of the g&j range (e.g. laptop covers, passport holders, weave me pencil case, bag organisers, pouches and many more) in CzipLee Bangsar. Once you own one, you'll come back and refer your friends for more! There will be more gin & jacqie in our upcoming posts too! Stay tune!
March also brings a very special Birthday shoutout to our friends at Smidapaper! Happy 2nd Birthday to the Smidapaper gang! It has been fun working with you guys and we look forward to more Smidapaper in time to come! Check out what Smidapaper offers. Part of their selection of scrapbook materials are available at CzipLee Bangsar for sale. If you are a first timer on this, don't worry!

All about LOVE!
It has been a wonderful month off from the store, celebrating Christmas, the New Year then now, Chinese New Year. From the turkeys to the presents. To the lovely homemade repertoire from aunts and grandmas alike, to the mouthwatering baked goods (personal favourite: Kuih Karpet aka Love Letters) that seems to be a regular fixture in every household, it has truly been a wonderful occasion for all! Not forgetting the many "Ang Pows" (red packets) collected and winnings from the gambling table for the lucky few, this Chinese New Year certainly makes for a great transition to one of my all time favourites: Valentine's Day!
Last year, I showed some Crashing potential. This year, The Remix: 
I have been scouring both stores for some Valentine's Day gift ideas. Here's what I found at CzipLee:
1. Love-stories:
From the flush of first love in Turgenev's First Love, part of the highly regarded 'Great Loves' series from Penguin, to those Vintage Classics with books that change the world, with books from the "it's a girl thing" people at LBD and to the evergreen and well loved Jane Austen.
Fall in love with a book this Valentine's...=)   
2. Love-inks:
A Pilot Ageless futuristic pen in RED of course:
Inspired by the love stories, armed with a love pen and all you need now is a notebook for your:
3. Love-notes!
Last year's top selling Valentine's Day product. More stocks are now available: 
The Clairefontaine Passionnement by Sacha Goldberger range is as funny and as fresh as a bubbling love! It is a range that cleverly combines words and graphic arts!
If you do not know what a Moleskine RED diary yet, you don't know what you are missing out! =) CzipLee has LIMITED STOCKS of the Moleskine Twin Set - Limited Edition - the only RED range left. Go on spoil yourself or your object of affection this Valentine's: 
Or if not, get the RED Moleskine Van Gogh Museum series (as featured in Zero Degrees Feb issue) A vibrant hard cover notebook lined with shantung silk, but still boasting the time-tested durability that ensures musings are kept safe from the elements.
4. Love-journeys To fuel your travel bug this year, see Asia in 2008 with the ultimate Asian travel companion:
The hugely popular glossy scarlet LUXE Asian Grand Tour Box puts you on the expressway to fabulous with Asia’s top 12 cities and all the treats they contain: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Bali, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Tokyo and Cambodia & Laos.
LUXE guides come with handy online updates, so not only do you get all the latest hot info, but when you buy the LUXE Asian Grand Tour Box, you get twelve guides for the price of eleven, how’s that for holiday spirit? Dust off your passport and start packing…
LUXE. Twelve into one does go.
5. Love-keeps
And to top it all off, keepsake the warm memories with my favourite themed scrapbook range, the Making Memories "Love Story" collection:
