Goodbye pretty gift box that was never meant for me

- a cupcake tree stand -

- my friend's big bday gift-

For my friend's bday last week- I got what I knew she likes the most: baking. I finally had to give up the beautiful gift box so nicely prepared by Ms. William Sonoma's Martha Stewart. A lot of gasps and "omg" were uttered when I walked in with the gift last week. Then it was followed by disgruntle muttering. I admit...the wrapping was very flashy.

Sigh. I miss my cutely wrapped gift box that adorn my room.

Update: I just read the status update by my friend on how ecstatic she was about the coach purse she got from another friend over the weekend. Whatever.
