Christmas Wishlist

So it is the silly season is here and I have been rushing round like a headless chook and realised that I have not posted much.

For those few readers I have, especially those from the Northern Hemisphere, December Down-Under is extremely silly indeed.

Work wise things kinda slow down, but they also getting very busy as clients and colleagues push for stuff to be done so they can go on leave in peace, knowing that two months of invoicing, planning and work has been completed in a one week period.

Weekends and even weekdays become so full that one cannot accept any invitation without triple checking the diary to ensure it does not conflict with the four other things they might have on that day.

Trying to get the Christmas decorations up is a two evening process as one feels exhausted after sticking all the fake branches on the fake tree, and doesn't have the energy to hang the lights and baubles too.

The liver takes such a beating this time of year. Not only for the multitude of social activities, but also due to the lack of recovery time as you cannot rest the next day, as there's another party/gathering. And if no group activities have been booked, you just KNOW that you HAVE to go gift shopping.

So to echo Gervy, I am posting here what I would like for Christmas. It might help a certain someone to order online as he probably won't make it to the shops due to the aforementioned silly season issues.

1. Perfume

I got to try the lighter, fresher Chanel No. 5 last night - Eau Premiere. I likey! I wear Chanel No. 19 usually in the summer, but this seemed an excellent different option.



However, I also know a certain someone really likes Narciso Rodriguez on me. And as I have run out, I wouldn't object to a bottle of this either.



2. Electric Hand Beater

I love baking for friends at Christmas but I have been put off this season by having whisk everything. My wrists just can't handle the RSI. And as much as I love the aesthetic of the Kitchen Aid cake mixers, we just don't have the money or, more importantly in this case, the storage. So a decent electric hand beater would be perfect. The below Breville one looks the business.
4. New Bicycle Tyres

After getting a flat tyre twice in one day, I am currently commuting by train. The streets are currently littered with glass for partying Sydneysiders and at $12 a inner tube, I can't afford to continuously have punctures. After chatting to those in the know, it was agreed that after six months of inner city commuting, the tyres should be replaced. I would like those that have kickarse gel inlaid. Like the Schwalbe Marathon's Kevin has. I don't know what kind I should get, but the boys at Cheeky Monkey can sort it :-)



5. Esty finds

I have become ADDICTED to this place. I haven't actually bought anything yet, but I was showing my other half as ideas for his sister, and realised it was another excellent place he could buy things for me!

There's the Gold Map Money Case. Perfect to protect my new microchipped passport from thieving electronic readers whilst at the airport.



My Macbook must be protected in a Antique Map Labtop Sleeve with zipped compartment for the powerpack.
Any one of numerous favourited clutches from RedRubyRose. Favourites include:

Peacock tones, printed and embroidered




And the Yellow Peony


Finally there's what I will be definitely buying one way or another. The Chloe Peacock Head Piece. I need it for my teal bridesmaid dress that I will be having shortened to wear for wedding season next year.


I reckon that's enough to get him started? Don't you?
