My boiled egg, my tagliatelle, my bread in olive oil, my avocado and smoked chicken in a salad, nothing has tasted so exquisite until now. It was my birthday and when it's your birthday you treat, but more importantly: you also receive (hip hip hooray) gifts. Now I have family and friends who are gifted gift buyers. I love this kind of people, a little more this year, because I got the best gift everrrr.

Then came the plant in an Erlenmeyer flask, which maintains its own little climate (impressive). A set of sports socks, which subtly conveys the message to ‘off’ to ‘fucken’ (brilliant). A book about nice girls with a corner office (handy). Truffle in a jar (delicious). And an ALPACA-PEPPER-AND-SALT SET, guys. A white and a brown one, with decorations, and holes, for your pepper and salt. I told you: your boiled egg has never been so fun. I even put the guys on the table when I don't need them. By the way, it comes from It’s a Present, one of the most original shops on Haarlemmerstraat. You should take a detour if you're in the area.
