![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I love all these ideas- especially the dinner date!
Thank you Lauren! The dinner date does seem to be the most popular idea :)
I love your mother’s day pick! They’re perfect for any mommy! xx
Thank you Anisa! Hope you had a good Mother’s Day! :D
Heeding your suggestion, I bought a Forever 21 Striped Scarf. My mom loved it so much. Thanks!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy she liked your gift! :)
I had a great time having a Mother’s Day celebration with the whole family.. It is just so memorable because of the simple bonding together that we had..
I’m so glad to hear that you had a nice Mother’s Day, Jenny! :)
I think cooking for Mom is a lovely idea – how many meals have they cooked for us. Astounding, right?
Hope you had a good one!
I know- my mom has cooked A LOT of meals for me and my siblings over the years! haha :)
Is it bad that I like a lot of these things for myself?!
Haha, not at all! I want many of these things for myself too! :)
The mothers day have passed but these are very nice gifts for mother to gift her any time. So, i want to get this surprising gifts to gift my mother. Thanks.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Great suggestions! I wish I head seen this a few days ago. My mom is impossible to shop for, but I finally came up with the idea of getting her a Kindle, and she loved it. :) Now I just have to teach her how to use it. :)
Oops… I didn’t mean to put two smiley faces in there!
Thank you Marissa! A Kindle is such a great gift idea, and now you get to spend more quality time with your mom teaching her how it works! :D
this year I got my mom a vintage cake server new in box from etsy to replace the one she had that broke on easter. It was her fave, so I thought why not get an exact replacement? (and what were the chances of finding a 20 year old cake server new in the box?!)
Seriously, what are the odds?! That sounds like such a thoughtful gift- I’m sure she loved it! :D
The dinner date idea sounds really awesome. Though I missed it I will have to do it the next coming mothers’ day. The earrings will look so great on her.
