Christmas Present Ideas

December 4th, 2009 by Girl Power Magazine | 5 Comments | Filed in Stuff, Wisdom, websites

Has everyone picked out what they’re getting their loved ones for Christmas yet? I’ve got an idea for Mum (perfume), and my sister (jewellery) but my Dad? Well… he’s always a tough one!

Every year I get my dad the same thing – a puzzle! He LOVES puzzles, but I want to get him something different this year. He’s a very hard man to get presents for. Have you guys got any suggestions?

This year I’m doing something really generous! I’m buying all my friends a gift donation from Oxfam Unwrapped and the World Vision Smiles Catalogue. Every gift I buy will go towards helping those in need and it can be as little as $5 for new colouring pencils! The donation will be sent on behalf of my friends and I’m sure they’ll love getting a card explaining how their gift is helping others.

So remember to give generously this Christmas!

Hey Girl Powerettes,I’ve had a super duper fun time in the Girl Power office this week! Want to know why? I’ve been chatting to loads of cool celebs!!

First of all, I got to chat to the lovely Ricki-Lee on the phone! She was sooo nice and she even gave me some top tips on how to do well if you want to audition for Australian Idol. Look out for Issue 20 of PopQueen (on sale December 23) for the lowdown on what else Ricki-Lee spilled in our interview.

Next, I nearly fell off my office chair when I found out I was going to get to meet Miranda Cosgrove. I went to meet her at a hotel in Sydney and I was a little nervous but as soon as I spotted Miranda she gave me a ginormous smile and she was so sweet that after a while it was just like hanging out with one of my besties!

Then to top it off, the next day I got to hang out in a cafe with Cassie Davis! Cassie is the ambassador for cool new video game Nintendo Presents Style Boutique, so we got to play the game on Cassie’s cute pink DS while we munched on cupcakes and drank tea!

Hmm wonder who I’ll get to meet next? I’m crossing my fingers for RPattz…
