London Writers Salon Silver Membership
The LWS Writers Hours have been a lifeline for my writing since the pandemic. As I recommit to my second book this year, I'm starting to wonder if I might benefit from Silver Membership.
Books
If such a thing is possible, I am immersing myself in my love of reading even more this year! The link below is to my Amazon wishlist - sort by priority to see order of excitement - but please support your favourite independent bookshop if you can!
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 and For Real so far, so am in need of Waiting for the Flood and Pansies.
A Place for All My Books boardgame - Bookcase edition

Tickets for dance class
My joy space. I suspect the wonderful Irem who holds the Monday 5Rhythms class in Oxford would sort out some sort of gift card situation if asked...
Ticketmaster gift card
Gigs are my church, and this would help me get to more of them
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 single page. Plain is fine as long as I can stick stickers on the cover.

Lush gift card
Because Lush remains a self-care staple, and I'm probably about to run out of Gorgeous moisturiser any minute now...
Soy candles
I always need more candles. I light candles for writing, for work, for when I'm in the bath... Current favourites include Cinnamon Spice, Bloom and Uplift by Botanical & Bloom

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
Run and Fly Octopus dungarees
An old design, might be available on Depop or eBay or somesuch? They run oversized, so I would need an XXS.
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.
