(Depending on when you look at this link, it might not be live yet. Check back after 1pm SLT April 3rd).
Seraphim will also be covering the event. I will link their gallery once it is live.
I also found a few free gifts(not in giftboxes) in booths, as well as many gachas. There are also some store that have items on sale.
I feel there is something for every budget here.
------------------------------------
The event area itself is very beautiful, with lots of interesting spots to hide eggs that also double as photo opportunities, either for yourself of just of the scenery.

I gave this upcycled Buttermilk package to the college student in the family. He goes to school in Iowa. He appreciated the recycling, non traditional package with farm theme, and that it was recycled.
The box contained a multi-tool knife. The red bow and the inner tissue paper wrapping was reUsed from a former year''s gift to me. Of course I save bows, ribbons, and tissue whenever possible.
Commited to ReCycling and ReUSE:
I buy my juice in glass jars, and milk in plastic jugs which are then reCycled. Wax coated boxes like the one shown above are NOT recycleable. However that is what my neighbor buys, and the milk / juiceboxes do have great graphics.
Why buy gift boxes when you can make your own? Just use gift wrap paper over them if you don't like them "as is." These make great shipping mailers too...they are extremely sturdy.
I found the initial idea in Family Fun Magazine. It came in handy at Christmas time and the gift recipient loved the box as much as the contents inside!
Here is the tutorial from Family Fun Magazine:

I created the development of the box myself. If anyone wants the docx file, just send me a flickrmail

Some examples of the packaging I use for my jewelry and ornaments.
From my Squidoo lens on Creative Packaging Ideas
My favorite time of year rests under our tree,
when most people have undecorated and heaped their evergreens onto compost piles
or at the local landfill.
I love the light which glistens upon favorite ornaments, tins and gift boxes too pretty to discard.
To keep spirits alive on this dreary day, I played with lenses while being treated to precious thank you calls and e-mails from friends throughout the world. What a glorious day it was. I feel blessed.
I'm also praying for a young man who had a critical car accident just before dawn, only yards from our driveway. Life is precious and much too fleeting.
“Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home
glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster.”

Hold on to the light,
Hold on to the memories.

TST exhibit a sentimental journey
Weaving through the crowds in the cosmopolitan shopping paradise of Tsim Sha Tsui, it is easy to forget that this was once a pre-eminent international harbour port and military stronghold of Hong Kong.
To celebrate the district’s illustrious history and evolution, the Hong Kong Heritage Project presents the “Our Tsim Sha Tsui - Past, Present & Future” exhibition in the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre in Kowloon Park. At its core are two large-scale Lego models, about two metres by three metres each, which reflect Tsim Sha Tsui, past and present.
The old Tsim Sha Tsui model uses 300,000 Lego building bricks to recreate well-known edifices including the Star Ferry Pier, the former Marine Police Headquarters, the Clock Tower and the Peninsula Hotel.
Many popular icons are also shown in the model, such as the red and white buses which plied Hong Kong roads decades ago. It also spotlights the cross-harbour swim from days gone by.
Andy Hung, a Lego enthusiast for 20 years, was responsible for building the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Terminal.
“It was a real challenge to use thousands of Lego bricks to recreate this long-gone Tsim Sha Tsui landmark,” Mr Hung said. Since most photos of old Tsim Sha Tsui buildings are either black and white, or faded with age, he scoured old documents and books for clues to their original colours.
Attention to detail
The model of the present-day Tsim Sha Tsui is even bigger than that of the old one. Twenty Lego fans spent four months to research and plan the display, then took another two months to assemble it, using more than 700,000 Lego bricks.
The model covers even more of the district than the old one does, starting from the Star Ferry Pier, and extending to Kowloon Park and the Kowloon Mosque & Islamic Centre. Hundreds of buildings and street lamps, and dozens of streets, are recreated.
Alex Hui, another Lego fan and member of the model production team, was in charge of building several residential buildings. To provide a true reflection of them, he walked the streets repeatedly to take detailed notes of the buildings, and viewed them online using Google Map.
To be even more precise, he tracked down building sales brochures to know how many flats and floors there were, with more accurate measurements.
Historic hotel in spotlight
The exhibition also showcases exhibits relating to the Peninsula Hotel, which opened in 1928 and has played many interesting roles since then.
During the Second World War, it was occupied by the Japanese army. On Christmas Day in 1941, the British government officially surrendered Hong Kong to Japan - in Room 336. After that, the grand hotel became the Japanese army’s temporary headquarters. When the war ended, the hotel became a temporary government office.
Dinnerware and menus from the hotel’s restaurants dating back to the 1950s are also featured. Back then, curry chicken with rice cost $9, and the most expensive dish was just $21.
The exhibition’s project officer, Melanie Li, is well versed in Hong Kong’s history. She points to old documents found in the hotel - plans for Hong Kong’s post-war reconstruction drafted on stationery and invoice papers with Japanese characters on the letterhead, left behind by the Japanese army. Resources were in short supply after the war, she said, so they used whatever was at hand.
Ticket stubs from cinemas that closed in the 1970s, giftboxes from long-shut department stores, and photos and short movies of old Tsim Sha Tsui round out the exhibition. It runs until September 2, and admission is free. For details, visit the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre website.

You are looking at the Gypsy Woman Necklace..
3 Strands of luxurious Genuine Gemstones..Czech Fire polished beads...And Bali Silver, with a 3 inch extender.
This Necklace is my Pride and Joy! It is freeing to wear. I can envision this necklace on a beautiful shapely Gypsy woman with long flowing hair strolling through the local market. Everyone notices her grace and her Mysterious Bohemian presence.
They are in awe of her. Whispers follow as she passes by. "Who is she?" "Is she a Gypsy Enchantress?"
No One Knows But the necklace she wears can be yours and this fantasy as well. Are you the Mysterious Gypsy Woman that has just stumbled upon her long lost necklace?
*THIS NECKLACE IS 27 INCHES AND CAN BE EXTENDED TO 29 Inches.
This Necklace was created by the flow of the Color wheel using only the cool colors. The shape of the beads is very alluring and suggest a woman's hourglass figure..They start large at the top then drape down thin as if it is her waist then widen again for her hips. This hourglass curvature demands that the beads drape perfectly and are heaviest at the center so it hangs beautifully!
The clasp is a Bali 3 Strand Round Clasp with a 3 inch extender chain and a very charming heart dangle.
The stones in this Necklace are, Unakite, crazy lace agate, bloodstone jasper, ruby in zoisite, chrysocolla, olive jade, green aventurine, turquoise, chalk turquoise, blue marble, lapiz lazuli, apatite nuggets, blue labrodorite, blue crazy lace agate, Mauve pearl, amethyst, amethyst nuggets, Purple sleeping beauty turquoise, crazy horse jasper, purple chalk turquoise, Mexican black line rhodonite, rhodochrosite, and Pink Coral, copper peacock pearls, ocean jasper, fancy jasper, garnet.
**If you have Questions, Please feel free to convo me!** I can also send you more pictures if you are interested.
Thanks for looking and have a Wonderful Day******
***SHIPPING IS FREE AND IT WILL COME GIFT BOXED!****
THE SONG THAT INSPIRED THIS BEAUTIFUL NECKLACE.........
"Gypsy Woman"
(As recorded by Brian Hyland)
CURTIS MAYFIELD
From nowhere through a caravan
Around a campfire light
A lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
They hypnotized me with love.
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman.
She danced around and 'round to a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow
How she enchanted me
Oh how I'd love to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear.
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman.
All through the caravan
She was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun, everyone was having fun
I hate to see the lady go, knowing she'll never know
That I love her, I love her.
Gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman.
