What's On My Christmas List 2017?
I think you know you're getting old when you add pasta bowls and cake tents to your Christmas list.
A lot of people, my brother in particular who always scorns at my presents, would look at this list and feel gutted if they received some if not all of it. But I am one of those people who'd rather a Primark gift card than anything fancy or a christmas mug over a bottle of perfume. I'd be gutted if I got high end makeup, a designer bag or posh chocolates but give me little and cheap and plenty and I'm as happy as a pig in shit.
So along with my more grown up choices of gift including recipe books and a neck wheatie I have gone with the age old classic formula of some cheap clothing, some nail varnish and some novelty Christmas homeware because you just can't beat it.
*Worth noting that not only are these ALL gifts I have genuinely steered my family in the direction of, I also am asking for a Leuchtturm (or two) and a Blogosphere subscription for the second year in a row so those in particular come highly recommended.
