*aunts and uncles who are all going to be in town to meet you!

*The Night Before Christmas book that must be read to you on Christmas Eve… preferable from outside the womb
*so many toys and books and beds (a crib, a bassinet, a pack n’ play, a swing, a bouncer, a glider… your pick!)
*milk, mmmmm!

The Kathmandu Post May 27, 2011 KATHMANDU, May 26 — Gold price on Thursday set a new record in the domestic market, reaching Rs 37,000 per 10 gm (Rs 43,156 per tola). The precious yellow metal was traded at Rs 36,950 on Wednesday. web site gold price history

According to Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association (Negosida), the price surged due to strong US dollar. “Dollar’s strength compared to other currencies and surge in oil prices pushed the price,” said Tej Ratna Shakya, president of Negosida. “As the price of gold started swelling in the international market, people started investing in it leading to the increase in gold price,” Shakya said.

Although, the price of the metal touched a new high, there are chances of decline on Friday. “Until now, gold price in the international market is declining steadily. If the situation remains same, there are chances of decrease in the price in days to come,” said Shakya. According to Negosida, the current daily demand of the metal in the local market is at around 25 kg. goldpricehistorynow.com gold price history
