The World of C.M.O.G

2020-02-06T04:13:00.000+08:00

Everybody loves gifts that are personalized with their names, special date or even photos. It shows that you put on extra effort just to show how much you care to the person you love.

That is why personalized/personalised gifts are memorable. For instance, parents will always remember who gave their newborn a charming personalized frame, rather than the "normal" newborn gift. Personalized gifts, no matter how inexpensive they are, will always stand-out among the rest of the gifts.

It is also a great choice for the "person who has everything".

In view of this, we at CreateMyOwnGift or in short C.M.O.G brings you unique yet affordable personalized gifts right here in Malaysia.

Please browse through our range of products...and contact us should you have any enquiry. You could also leave your feedback in this blog.

Thank you for visiting our blog!

Ideas for Aqiqah Favor

2012-02-16T19:16:00.002+08:00

If you are currently preparing for your newborn baby Aqiqah, then here are some favor ideas for you.

You see..after having three boys, I must confessed that I am excited for my baby girl's Aqiqah & Cukur Jambul ceremony. We decided to do it slightly grander than the boys, after all she will be our last (hopefully!). Our theme is a combination of Pink, White and Grey.

I painstakingly took the time to prepare for the Aqiqah favors. So here are some of the door gifts for the guests:-

Customized Booklet

We wanted to give other than Surah Yassin, so we opted for Buku Himpunan Solat-Solat Sunah instead. I prepared 50 booklets to be given to the Kumpulan Marhaban (they called themselves Kumpulan Wawasan and they offer house-to-house service) & my aunties and uncles.

I've also made some personalized water labels for the air Yassin.

The Door Gift

Personalized Brown Paper Bag filled with customized booklet, tasbih kristal, mini picture frame in an organza bag (not in picture) and boiled egg in silver casing (see photo below).

The silver casing. This is with sweets as contents (for candy buffet). The casing can be found at shops selling wedding supplies.

Apart from that I also prepared a simple Candy Buffet for the guests. I've made some personalized chocolate wrapper for the spread..and some candy cones...

And I ordered yummylicious Polkadot Apams from Sahura (http://sahuranizam.blogspot.com)
And lovely cupcakes from Ayu (http://ayulicious-cakes.blogspot.com)

Oh, another thing..the cradle itself. This elegant English Cradle is from Wafri Collections. We were lucky to have it at a promotional price.

As for my princess dress, we have it tailor-made at Ampang Park, Level 2. The boutique makes lovely girl's dress.

All in all it was a perfect ceremony, alhamdulillah. So I hope this simple ideas help you to prepare for your ceremony. May it be as lovely as your sweet bundle of joy...

Have a nice day!

Wrapper and Topper: Soccer Theme

2012-02-02T11:08:00.003+08:00

I have lots of general designs for girls only but not for boys..

So when Sis Nae requested me to a general theme for her 8th year old boy, it takes me a while to ponder and come out with one. Girls are easy - flowers, butterfly, fairies, princess, pink, lilac.
But boys? I've tried to mix around boys theme like cars, soccer ball..dinosaurs..but hey it got really jumbled up!

Finally, I have to resort asking Sis Nae what is his boys' interest - vehicle? animals? sports? And she said her boy loves soccer (football). So football it is...

A simple soccer theme for boys...(and girl)...

Here's the sms I received from sis Nae:
"Love it, love it, love it:)"

And few days after that, she ordered personalized topper + bag with the same design...

Thanks a lot sis!

One day when Balqis was playing with Kakak Melissa, she thought, "I don't want to wear diapers anymore. Kakak Melissa doesn't wear a diaper, she wears panties. It would be fun to play without having to stop to get my diaper changed."

So Balqis asked Ibu, "Ibu, .......

2011-09-20T22:29:00.002+08:00

I'm backkkk!!

Alhamdulillah, after 3 months break, now I'm fresh and fit to resume operation. Oh by the way, I have safely delivered my princess (my 1st princess after 3 boys) in June. She is now a healthy exclusively breastfed 3-months old baby.

Oh, C.M.O.G is also going 'full-time'. What I mean is, I am now fully focusing on C.M.O.G as I have officially left the corporate world that I have been serving for the last 11 years. Yup, I am an official Work-At-Home-Mom. It is indeed one of the biggest steps I have ever took (apart from marriage..hehe).

I have plans outlined for C.M.O.G and I just hope that it materialized.

Okay now, during my 3 months break, alhamdulillah, I have received few orders. So right after confinement, I jumped back into designs and production.

Shall share with you the things I did in my next entries.

Till then, take care..

-Rafiqah-

Temporary Closure.

2011-06-13T12:25:00.000+08:00

Dear All, C.M.O.G shall be temporarily closed starting 13th June 2011 to make way for the delivery of my 4th child. Both and child need some respiratory period:)

C.M.O.G shall resume operation starting 19th September 2011.

In the meantime, yes, you may place your orders...but orders shall only be received after 19/9/2011.

InsyaAllah we'll come out with few new products...so do check out the blog from time to time..

Please pray for my safe delivery...

My last order before the long break

2011-06-11T10:30:00.003+08:00

This order for Aqiqah topper came from Pn Linda.

I simply love the theme color that she chooses - a combination of Black, Red and White. She told me that is her favourite color.

But unfortunately, my reliable 6-year old printer tends to 'buat hal' while I'm trying my level best to fulfill this order before I gave birth. Damn!

Thank God I found someone who is willing to print for me but have to say, I just break-even on this one. Well, I treat that as a 'gift/sedekah' to both the printer and customer..just before I go into the labor room..

So, here it is..the vibrant looking topper for Pn Linda.

Linda, just want to inform you that I'll deliver yours by this Monday.. and you should receive it within 1 or 2 days time...

For that Little Princess

2011-06-07T11:45:00.007+08:00

This order came from a grandmother (trust me she doesn't look at all like a grandmother!) for her granddaughter's 4th birthday.

Princess Zara loves pink and blue..so here's the design that I made especially for her topper.

The princess's grandmother wants me to fill up the party bag with favours. Since I'm not a big fan of too much candies and sweets in the bag, so I opt for things that the children could make full use of.

Contents of the bag:-
1. A small purse
2. Sticker
3. Paint set
4. Hand Clap (noise maker)
5. A chocolate bar

Hope the princess and her grandmother love it!

******************************************

Added on 11/6/2011 (11.15 a.m.):-

An email received from Kak Fari -"Thanks so much for taking my order for my princess. She absolutely loved it so much! The look on her face is priceless! Thank you so much again!

And of course, congrats on your own domain name... lovely and thanks for adding Zara's goodies bags... so sweet of you"

Nothing could beat the feeling of having to satisfy a child's desire..Thanks to you too Kak Fari!

The Red Theme.

2011-06-07T11:06:00.004+08:00

Ok, we have all the red theme for this little lad birthday.

We have chocolate wrapper with Chuggington theme..and Mickey Mouse for the topper.

Maria did order a personalized T-Shirt for his son as well. Unfortunately, we've ran out of stocks for white t-shirt. But since she personally invited me to the party, I thought of giving Lil Ashraf his personalized t-shirt.

And oh, I did one for my son as well:)

I hope Maria received it safe and sound..

The t-shirt is currently not for sale as I'm trying to sort out some quality issues. Will announce once the t-shirt is up for grab, which trust me I can't wait!

Been very quiet?

2011-03-19T10:15:00.002+08:00

Oh, it's 2011...and this is my first entry after keeping quiet for quite some time.

What's up with me?

To those who might be in contact with me since end of last year probably would have known my condition. And I'm sorry for having to turn down order received at that time...

Yup, I'm pregnant with my 4th child..alhamdulillah...

And just like my previous pregnancies, the first trimester isn't as smooth sailing as I wish it could be with an all-day-long nausea (worsen at night) and fatigue. So, I can't do any of CMOG work..because at night sitting for hours in front of PC is a no-no for me.

Now, I'm 6 months pregnant. Sometimes I do have the feeling to throw up especially after dinner, but it wasn't that bad compare to the first few months. I'm getting heavier, my feet has started swollen, muka tak payah cakaplah, kembang semangkuk and tiredness can be unbearable at times. Well, let just say, age has taken its toll on my body. Face the fact, I'm no longer in my 20s...

But, I feel better now...So, I've started taking orders slowly.

And alhamdulillah, for this months alone, I need to fulfill 3 orders from my existing customers whom I've become friends.

Thanks a lot!

Oh actually they are few new products that I did before I know that I'm pregnant. Shall share with you the soonest possible. Now back to designing...Chow and have a good day!

Anniversary Newspaper..

2010-08-21T16:07:00.005+08:00

This order came all the way from Penang...

Wan ordered an anniversary gift for his beloved Hubby as well as birthday newspapers for their two kids, one aged 2 another aged 1...all fall in March..isn't that lovely?

Another order for this type of newspaper came 5 months later in August. It's from my old friend, Jasmin who ordered this lovely blue-and-pink anniversary newspaper for her uncle and aunty.
The thing is when my mom saw the newspaper, she said that the man inside the newspaper is my late father's roommate in errr..can't remember...What a small world!

This anniversary newspaper is priced at RM15.00, same with any of our other collection. So order this unique gift for the couple who has (almost) everything...

Do you know who Ben Tennyson is?

2010-07-28T22:11:00.007+08:00

Yup..it's BEN 10! The cartoon hero that most kids love...

The order for this theme came from Juli about 2 years ago, when I was pregnant with my 3rd son. It was a difficult pregnancy so this was my last order before I decided to take a rest for about one year.

And why the update after two years?

It's because Juli is kind enough to email me the photos recently (I didn't manage to take any as we had problem with our camera).

I provide her with the topper and bag only...

Thanks Juli for your patience in dealing with me at that point of time..and oh yeah, thanks a zillion for the photos. Hugs and kisses to your boys. Tell them I've uploaded the photos of their party packs:)

Topper for Aqiqah..

2010-07-26T17:47:00.008+08:00

Sweet design for a cute baby boy...

The mother of this little lad, Siti, intends to put Surah Yassin in the bag, so she needs a bigger bag. An extra RM0.30 for this topper + bag. The standard size for each bag is 12cmW x 26cmH. This one is 15.4cmW x 28cmH.

Thanks Siti...hope you like it!
