Pumpkins & big news

A while I back I visited a pumpkin patch. It has been on my bucket list for quite some time now, so I’m happy I found one near me. Kurpitsakauppa.com is actually probably the only pumpkin patch in Helsinki metropolitan area. I went there mostly for the cozy atmosphere, but also for the cute Fall photos.

Bigger news than visiting a pumpkin patch  is that we are moving soon. Soon we’ll pack everything we own in boxes and turn a new chapter in our lives in a new home.  Luckily we’re not moving far – we’ll still have the same postal code.

Our new apartment is lovely. It has an amazing view to the sea and park from the fourth floor. Right now we’re living at first floor, where I’m watching people catch their buses or sit by the cafe right in front of our home. We also get the big balcony we’ve been dreaming about. Actually, we get two balconies. Yes, I know, that’s crazy.

It’s so exciting. I think the first thing I’ll do when we move is unpack all the Christmas decorations and get ready for spending our first Christmas in our new apartment. I also look forward to waking up to beautiful sunsets. Or going out the door straight to the park for a run. Or drinking my first cup of coffee in the open plan kitchen. All of it.

I haven’t really talked about my life lately. To be honest, Fall has been quite tough. Moving to a wonderful new apartment is a good thing and I very much look forward to it.

How is your Fall going?

Gift ideas for someone who already has everything

Sponsored collaboration with SLURP

I love giving and receiving gifts. But I’ll admit it gets difficult once you’ve already gone through the basic things: chocolate, pajamas, candles, socks or nail polish. I want to give gifts that are thoughtful and useful. I want the gift to put a smile on the person’s face. Perhaps even get the person to know to some awesome thing or product that I think she or he would love.

Since it’s already Fall and the season of giving (did I hear some jingle bells?), I wanted to give you some ideas to gifts. Especially when you feel like the person already has everything.

Gift ideas for someone who already has everything

  •  Time

Non-material gifts are awesome. My idea: make a gift card to go to a walk, a movie or something else together. The most important thing everyone needs is time spent together. Simple as that.

  • Something hand-made such as a painting, a candle etc.

I’ve surprised myself lately by actually enjoying crafting. I love making candles and just recently I started to paint. I think giving something hand-made always has that little special effect in it, since you’ve put your time and effort (and love) into the gift.

  •  Food

Okay, I know I said chocolate is a ‘basic thing’, but I’ll never get angry at a box of chocolates. Or, you know, something healthier. Everyone needs food and I think food is a great gift. Maybe make a basket of some delicious thing and put a bow on it? Okay, maybe that’s a pretty basic idea. But perhaps you stumbled here in a full gift-giving panic and hadn’t thought of that. In that case: you’re welcome! Ha.

  •  Coffee

Ah, coffee. Now there’s an awesome gift. And giving delicious sustainable coffee as a gift has never been easier. You know I’m a huge fan of Slurp coffee subscription, but did you know you can also give Slurp as a gift? Here is the ultimate gift for someone who has everything.

Slurp coffee as a gift

Slurp coffee subscription is a great gift idea, because you’re not only giving coffee as a gift, but you’ll be gifting an experience. Coffee experience. The person gets the coffee fresh, delivered to his or her doorstep. Gets to try some new artisan coffees.

And: the gift doesn’t go to waste. It can literally be enjoyed, one cup at a time. The prices for gift cards start from 25,76€.

And yes – I do have a discount for you. Code ‘CharlottaLahja’ gives you -10% off on the ongoing coffee subscription and gift cards. So now is a great time to shop for a gift – or pamper yourself with a coffee subscription. Order your SLURP subscription or shop gift cards here. The code is valid until 10.11.19.

And in case this is the first time you hear about Slurp, I recommend reading my first post with them.
