Cufflinks and cufflink box

September 26, 2011

I love that I’m married to a man who wears french cuffs and cufflinks daily. He’s always loved french cuffs, even before he entered into the diplomatic corps… and I totally love this about TD. They are just so much sexier than buttons. =P I love seeing him put on his cufflinks in the morning. So one of my gifts to him in the past has been his starter cufflinks box and some really quirky cufflinks from THE CUFFLINK STORE.

Top left: dog cufflinks from TD’s colleague

Top right: batik cufflinks from me

Middle: starter cufflinks box, with 2 tiers for cufflinks and the sides for watches

Bottom: Bottle opener and bottle-cap cufflinks

I say “starter” because there are many other more beautiful boxes out there, but this was the best I’ve found in Jakarta so far. He just had so many cufflinks already that I wanted him to have a proper box to organize them all. Thank God I found THE CUFFLINK STORE! They specialize in quirky cufflinks which are nice for a change, because normally TD wears serious cufflinks and it’s just good to know that on a night out he can let loose and wear something that reflects his personality too. (I don’t recommend quirky cufflinks for more matured men of course.)

My  favorite are the martini glass and shaker cufflinks I got him. (Don’t you just love it?!? See pic below.) The dog cufflinks were given by his colleague as a gift, knowing my husband’s affection for dogs.

UPDATE: The Cufflink Store no longer carries cuff link boxes like the one above, however they still have their wide selection of interesting cufflinks. Also they have several new stores. Click on the link  below to view their other locations.

    Hihi,
    I went to the cufflink store but am unable to locate the cufflink box feature in this article.
    Do you know where can I get it or get it shipped to singapore?

      Hi Jave, I am sorry that they didn’t have the cufflinks box in the store. They have a few other stores now in Jakarta (3 stores) however to save you from the hassle, I suggest you get in touch with them directly on their Twitter and FB. You can find their details here: http://www.thecufflinksstore.com/about-us/ and then send them a link of the post I did to ask where you can get it or if it can be delivered to SG? I sent a message to the owner of the store via Instagram but I am not sure if she will reply or not. I will let you know on this comment, if I hear from her. I hope this helps!

    […] one side had my makeup and skincare (not pictured) and the other side had my accessories and TD’s cufflink box (not pictured). The key to storage and display I think is really creating small vignettes, a term […]

Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween decor collection so it’s not so heavy on the wallet. I’m so happy with this year’s finds & make sure to carefully store them so they have many more years of use.

It was @diplobaby’s idea to add googly eyes to the bats. So we did it together! I love the one eyed bats 🦇 and I love it when we decorate together! Definitely one for the core memory banks! 👻🎃🤍

I was tickled pink coz people would pass by and take pics, stare or even tell me good job. 🎃 Halloween is really my favorite holiday!

What do you think of our Halloween prep this year?

I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little too long for him this year but we sure got a kick from it.

DM me if you want to know where to order!

VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT Every year I look f VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT

Every year I look forward to this event for families in our village. We also invite our friends outside the village coz it’s so much fun for families. Parents and kids can come in costume. It’s done beside a fabulous park so kids can run around and play.

The pumpkins 🎃 might be overpriced (the bigger ones went from chf 18 last year to chf 23 this year) BUT it includes the free use of NIFTY CARVING TOOLS, waste disposal, clean up & cute decor that the organizers have provided.

We draw together. TD removes the guts. Then @diplobaby & i do the carving together with our son and it’s a controlled way of showing him how to use the tools in a safe way. Which is something I appreciate in Europe.

One year we tried pumpkin 🎃 carving at home and clean up was a totally nightmare. Never doing it again!

Then when kids and parents are are hungry we can buy food & drinks. 

We go home with a carved pumpkin 🎃 & don’t have to do the clean up. The pumpkin guts are also turned into soup by the organizers.

It’s also a good way for parents to unwind, catch up while the kids play in the playground. We usually see our neighbors here too.

It’s a win win for everyone & it reduces unused waste. I love it so much!

We never did pumpkins before coz it would rot@so fast in Asia. But i  the past 3 seasons of doing this I’ve learned so many tips and tricks for pumpkin 🎃 carving - especially how to prevent molds and insects. Let me know if you want me to do a separate post on that!

Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted ab Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted about our #DiploHome.

This is our BALCONY/TRASH SEGREGATION AREA.

Because we use it to entertain in SPRING & AUTUMN (too hot & too many insects in summer) I made sure that the trash segregation remains AESTHETIC by using white @ikeaschweiz SEGREGATION BINS.

So far SWITZERLAND TRASH SEGREGATION in our experience is even more complex than GERMANY but it has led to at least 50% RECYCLING rate which is pretty good, even though Germany still has the highest rate of recycling 66%

Let me know if you want to know more about how we manage trash in our village.
