In the past few years, I have tried my best to do something sweet for my clients and friends during Christmas. If time allowed, I would make some cards and send a personal message.

As a word-lover, I couldn't really stand seeing the empty space on the card so it took me a good amount of time to finish this project. Since there were some dramatic ups and downs in business, I kept pushing the card writing day and now I know it is already too late.

Last week my friend Thomas, who is an expert in skincare products, introduced the Aloe stick from Forever to me. I am fond of products made from natural ingredients and this stick is doing a good job protecting my lips. So I bought a dozen of sticks from Thomas and prepare them to be a small Christmas treat.

For the gift-wrap, the most obvious option would be my note card (as I really need to write something and I havs printed many note cards before...) with a ribbon in MetLife's corporate color. I hope my friends will enjoy this little something. Looks like I will need to buy another dozen soon........
