Books
Reading remains a balm, an escape, an enrichment... The link below leads to my wishlist on Amazon, because I know that makes life easier for family. If you're able to make purchases from independent booksellers or BetterWorldBooks instead, all the better.
TJ Klune's Green Creek books
These books give me the feels and I need them. Juniper Books do a stupid fancy edition if you're feeling stupid and fancy. Otherwise I like these covers best.
Spires series new editions
I would like the shiny new editions of the Spires series with the new bits please, because I love them! I have Glitterland so far, so am in need of Waiting for the Flood, Pansies, and of course, my favourite, For Real.
Anthologies by Tab Kimpton and Sfe R Monster
Greed is the only one I have so far <3
Comics and anthologies
Sunstone: Mercy Vols 7 & 8, Crimson After Hours, and Fine Print by Sejic; Patience and Esther; Elements: Fire Anthology
A Place for All My Books boardgame - Bookcase edition
Rock n roll scrapbook
I'd like a scrapbook to put my gig memorabilia in. Not sure of the style, other than paper rather than plastic, and large enough to be able to stick A4 setlists on a signle page. Plain is fine as long as I can stick stickers on the cover.
Frank Positive Songs for Negative People hoodie
It's just very cool. And I never did manage to get a t-shirt from when the album came out. Size S as ever.
Run and Fly Octopus dungarees
These fabulous dungas are available new, but I'd be most happy with them secondhand from Depop or eBay or somesuch. They run oversized, so I would need an XXS.
Zara Pumpkin Military Jacket S
I've been looking for one of these for a while in a size S. Can often be found on eBay, Depop, Vinted etc
Gumbie Outback slippers in red & charcoal size 6
I am rather desperately in need of some slippers, and these red & charcoal ones from Gumbies are made of recycled materials and very much the thing. If they're sold out on the website in my size 6, do not panic, they can be found in other online shops.
Lavendery Lushness
Soothing and sleepifying Lushy goodness such as Deep Sleep bathbomb & Unicorn Horn bubble bar
Soy candles
I always need more candles. I light candles for writing, for work, for when I'm in the bath... Current favourites include Bloom and Uplift by Botanical & Bloom, and Green Lavender and Wild Earth by Run with Wolves
Tickets for dance class
I suspect the wonderful Irem who holds the Monday 5Rhythms class in Oxford would sort out some sort of gift situation if asked...
Ticketmaster gift card
Gigs continue to be my resourcing and resilience spaces, and this would help me get to more of them
Vinyl
Handwritten and Sink or Swim by the Gaslight Anthem; Bury Me in Philly by Dave Hause; ask Benjamin how my Bruce collection is going!
CHOCOLATE
Goopie are by far my favourites at the moment, followed by Tonys, Montezuma, Vivani, and Chococo. Favourite flavours: cherry, almond/marzipan/amaretto, white chocolate, mint
Pocket Dragons
These little critters please me greatly. Here's the full list, with the ones already in my collection crossed out: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Cd2i_CDGEq-VUJApEVjGfarJxJ1Q7iO-J26EHMljwcs/edit?usp=sharing
Guitar Lessons
This is my lovely guitar teacher Jenna. My lessons with Jenna are one of my biggest sources of joy. You can reach her at jenna_bennettmusic@hotmail.co.uk to get me more. She often has a holiday offer on lesson bundles.
