Andrea’s wish list

Posted by andrea in: Oh! Things!

I thought it might be wise to jot down a few ideas for Christmas. For me. You know, in case Santa is reading.

  • Pj’s – form fitting short sleeve top and low rise bottoms in light flannel (something like this). I so need a new mid-weight housecoat too.
  • A pen with a light. You have no idea how much use I would get out of this little gifty. Many times a great idea has strikes in the moments after the light has gone out. I need to be able to write in the dark!
  • A furry hot water bottle. What can I say, I have cold feet. And I don’t like the feel of the treads of the old rubber one. It makes me feel like I’m sleeping with a tire. (No, I’m not referring to my hubby.) *wink*
  • Stationary/funky notecards and other paper ephemera. I have a soft soft spot for papers of asian origin that I use for crafty purposes.
  • Stamps. Postage and otherwise.
  • Books books books… oh, do I have a list of books. This deserves its own category. Perhaps I will tap it out another day.
  • Luxury socks. I am one of those people who likes getting socks for Christmas, but they can’t be ordinary socks. They have to be *good* socks. Mary bought me three pairs of wonderful thick warm socks from the Gap last year. I think they’re a cashmere/wool blend. They are happy colours. Who wouldn’t be thrilled to get socks like these?
  • While we’re talking about feet, a lovely pedicure-type toe scrub would be lovely.
  • This may be too large and awkward for Santa to stuff down our chimney, but I would love a light-reflecting umbrella/light for studio-type photography.
  • fine scissors for papercutting

    I will add to this list as I get more ideas.

    *Note to Santa: there may be conflicting reports saying otherwise, but I *have* been a good girl this year. Cross my heart. :)

    The Obligatory Blurb

    My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

    If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

    I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
