General note

I'm feeling generally distrustful and dispirited about late-stage capitalism right now, so I'm particularly welcoming consumables, books, and stuff that can be found 2nd hand, as follows... 🙏🏻

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

TTRPG: Earthborne Rangers

I have been hankering after Earthborne Rangers for a while now - sustainably produced, nature-based, co-operative... what's not to love! A second hand copy would be great.

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.

Mindsight lockbox for phone

To help me reclaim my time and attention from my phone, and after further research into the impact that just being able to see our phone has on our attention, I think it might be time to acquire one of these. This one seems like it does everything I need

Lucy & Yak Addison jeans - blue pinstripe

I have wanted a pair of these all year, in a 28 waist and ideally a Regular leg

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.

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

Lushy bits

Cup o Coffee scrub, Grass shower gel - and honestly just anything relaxing, herbal, or spicy!!

Zao daring lipstick rouge 420

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

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

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.

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!

BFI membership

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

Folio edition of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

A dragon can dream, right? And I adore Becky Chambers so much.

Pachamama woolies

I particularly like the foxes jumper, the rainbow heart jumper, and the Vancouver jumper. Size S as usual. The Pachamama website is a bit weird, so if you're looking on there, just put there names of the items in the search bar and they should come up
