Wishlist

This Wishlist if for my family members for Ecksmas; apparently, I’m notoriously hard to buy for.
If you’re not related to me and you want to buy me presents, I guess you can go ahead, but that’s a little weird, honestly.

Preferences:

Please, no:

• knick-knacks/decorative things (I have no room)
• candy/ chocolate (don’t like it much)
• kitchen stuff (got too much already)
• scented candles, potpourri, bath products, perfume, incense (anything scented sets off my allergies, except Lush products, which are okay)
• CDs or DVDs (I generally get all the music I can handle for free, and I download movies/etc.)
• Posters, art prints

Yes, please:

• Jewelry:  Silver, Amber, sparkley – I’m a big fan of cubic zirconium and crystal
• Colours: Blue, Red
• Fabric:  Cotton
• Collectibles: Russian/Greek Orthodox Icons.  Roman Catholic Icons/statues/crucifixes (I’m not Catholic, I just love them and I collect them)
• Art: Originals, not prints. Stained glass, tattoo, and comic book art.  Up-and-coming artists.
• Generally: Things that are useful, beautiful, and of high quality.

Chapters Wishlist Books are always good! Check out my Chapters Wishlist (click on the link) for some books that I'd like. Lately I’ve mostly been reading books on Medieval/European/Middle Eastern history (non fiction), and haven’t really been into novels at all. I really hate biographies, and I generally prefer softcovers.
Lush Bath Products I love Lush! One of the few really scented products that doesn't set off my allergies. My favourites: - Silky Underwear Dusting Powder - Honey I Washed the Kids Soap - Red Rooster Soap - Vanilla Puff Dusting Powder - Butterball Bath Bomb - Curly Wurly Shampoo - Coolaulin Conditioner - Honey I Washed the Kids Solid Perfume There's a Lush in the Eaton's Centre, and one on Queen West, or you can order online through the link.
Sephora Gift Certificate I like buying makeup at Sephora. Located in the Eaton's Centre, next to the Apple Store.
Wigwam Countryside Socks These are my favourite socks! I prefer them in grey or black. Usually available at Mark's Work Wearhouse.
Silver Jeans - Aiko Bootcut These are my favourite jeans. Style: AIKO ORIGINAL FIT Wash: SA230-IND Waist: 34 Inseam: 33 Available at Bootlegger (in Ptbo Square) or online.
Stratford Festival Gift Certificate
Hudson's Bay Wool Blanket Available at the store.
Beeswax Pillar Candles The pillar size last a really long time, and these candles don't make my allergies flare up. Available at Joanne's Place on Water Street.
LL Bean Hearthside Slippers I like these in brown; probably a size 10 (my feet are 9D, so most regular 9s won't fit).
Old Navy Pajama bottoms - I really liked these green and red plaid pajamas, but when I went in to the Ptbo store, they had run out, and I don't particularly like any of the other styles. So, if by luck you see these at another mall in Large, I'd love them.
I like Belgian beer a lot, and my particular favourite is Keoning's Hoeven Quadruppel (formerly known as La Trappe Quadrupel). It's tasty, plummy, and wonderful. I like a lot of beers that are similar in taste - Quebec's Unibroue has a few, like Trois Pistoles or Maudite or Fin du Monde (I would probably also like La Terrible, tho I haven't tried it yet. Chimay Red is another Belgian beer that's close in flavour, though I'd never prefer it over Quadruppel.
I like red wines - particularly, rich, plummy reds, like Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon.
Whiskey - I particularly like Irish whiskey - Jameson or Bushmills - but I also enjoy Scotch, though not the really peaty stuff. I have a bottle of Langavulin, and wouldn't mind adding to my Scotch collection.
Cherry Wood Serving Spoons We have one of these and we use it all the time; I'd like some of my own. In particular, I like the chef spoon and runcible spoon. I'm right-handed.
National Geographic Egyptian Aarabesque Earrings Normally I don't like gold at all, but for some reason I really like these earrings. Available on the website.
National Geographic Indian Aqua-and-brass Bracelets Again, usually I don't like gold-coloured jewelry but I like these.
Silver Bird Pendant - This pendant was at Tribal Voices on Charlotte Street.
Blue Gem Pendant - I have no idea what kind of stone that is, but I love the colour, the size, and how much it sparkles! It was at Tribal Voices on Charlotte Street.
Silver and Amber Earrings - These earrings have a pretty, subtle flower pattern. They were at Tribal Voices on Charlotte Street.
Amber Teardrop Earrings - These ones were at Tribal Voices on Charlotte Street.
Nartional Geographic - Carved Chinese Cinnabar Bracelets Cassie and I both think these are really pretty. Available on the website.
Women's Canadian Olympic Team Sweater Medium is probably the best size. Available at The Bay or through the link above.
Hand-Forged Cooking Grate This would be awesome for camping, especially since it folds down. It's available on the website, which is American, but I'll keep looking for one in Canada.
Jersey Boys - The Musical
