There's only one week until Chanukah, though my parents stopped actually choosing gifts for me years ago and now it's all sort of lumped into a Chanukah+DecemberBirthday go-buy-whatever-you-want-within-reason deal. Though it's nice because I always inevitably get something that I want, I miss the days of actually opening up a present that my parents had taken the time to wrap. Oh well--I guess you can't have it both ways.
If, perchance, they were to give me a wrapped gift this year, I wouldn't mind any of the following things that I've come across lately:
Chainlink knitted scarf (Urban Outfitters)
Gold wildflower necklace (Urban Outfitters)
Vintage rotary phone (Anthropologie)
Hearthside Tights (Modcloth)
*seriously, I have a huge crush on these boots right now
Other silly things that I want: a cute tape dispenser, 30 mini potted cacti or a train set (for that weird wall ledge between the kitchen and the main space of my apartment)
Big ticket items I can only dream of: a really good dressform/mannequin, a pretty digital SLR camera (because clearly going on vacation with 3 cameras already is not enough), a TV whose screen is larger than this laptop, a more comfortable futon to sit on (and possible a less squeaky one).
Oh, and if the powers that be are listening in: I would really like one of those jobs I interviewed for (you know which ones I mean). I would take one of those in lieu of all of the above. Even the boots.
i love this post and feel as though it were written for me. i am going to use it fyi so if you shared this list with other people who will appreicate it as much as me i get dibs on things. ok, th'as ll - abr25
