Hive blog: city life|What's in the box 🎁?

I haven't write for two weeks, its just that life keeps rushing and flowing as it should be. Its December, busy for our Clearance Sale. Yes, we are having clearance sale as my boss finally decided to close his shop of souvenir items and gift shop here at Ayalamalls. I have been here for almost 8 years already. Yes, its that long. Because of pandemic souvenir shop like this is struggling in retail sales. Its been two years that we were on standby mode, waiting for some improvement on sales but we are not able to so closing it is the best decision for the owner. Though it means, a life changing season for me and my job arrangements and nature and place, I came to term with it all. Everything has its own timing. As the book of Ecclesiastes tells us that everything happens for a reason and every event on life has its own pace. A time for hellos are gone, and welcoming the goodbyes with a grateful heart.

We started the clearance sale on December one and be done at the end of the month. Most of my displays are sold out and that is kind of good news. We needed it for the December cost and we are yet to comply every necessary documents later for the closure.

Have you completed 🎁 gifts for later in the night on Christmas Eve?
Here, my client for that day has. He got advantage of the 50% discount that we are giving. The best deal ever.

My clients were generous too, some of them even gave some tip for a drink. I bought Nanyang Coffee milk tea. We enjoyed it very much.

I am also glad that my boss hired my friend to help me in the shop as an extra, without her this time I don't know how would I bring boxes down from the 3rd floor down to the parkings. With her help I am able to assess the customer with ease. That is what I am thankful for.

The boxes contains the Arden handcrafted arts made of shells and casted brass in silver plated metals.

Remember that whatever you give and surrender, let it go.
