I have joined the Reddit Secret Santa gift exchange again this year, even though I never received anything last year because it’s so much fun to send presents to total strangers… If you have never done it, you’ll have to trust me on that – either that or go out there and find a friend of a friend you have never met and send them something you think they would like. It’s loads of fun. Anyway, I have been given my match today and he is a young kid in Germany who is into anime, manga, and something weird to do with a banana milkshake disaster (I know, right!). He’s given me no wish lists, no ideas on what he might like and I’ve had to just… wing it.
So I decided to be a bit kinder to my Secret Santa and try to be a bit more specific. Because after that a bit of direction would be greatly appreciated from the sender end. Anyway, here is a letter to my Reddit Secret Santa, who is in Ireland (how cool is that!), to be read and action or ignored as he/she sees fit. 🙂 Have fun!
Greetings to Irish Reddit Secret Santa,
Now, I know you are lurking around, I thought I could send some things that might help you out … only a little bit though, we can’t make it too easy now can we? 🙂 Here is a list of some ‘stuff’ that I would love to receive in the mail –
Movie vouchers from our local eVents cinemas chain. I am pretty sure you can order vouchers ordered online and sent to a local street address, which would be awesome because I love going to the cinema… and will often go see good movies a few times. 🙂
The Cards Against Humanity Fourth Expansion Pack or the Holiday Expansion Pack. I have all the others which are hilarious – hideously inappropriate but hilarious nonetheless. They also won’t ship to Australia (something I discovered a few weeks ago) so it’s a bit tedious to get hold of these.
I’d love a new iPhone 5S, but mostly because the camera in it looks absolutely beautiful… But that is totally expensive and extravagant! 🙂 Or, I’d love a new pink Nano because my favourite little Nano doesn’t seem to want to hold a charge properly anymore 🙁 and I always use my Nano on planes and things, so that I don’t run my phone battery dead.
What else have I been researching lately? I am going to buy a new washing machine in the New Year… just have to decide whether to get the 8.5kg one or the 10kg one, but that’s not really a Christmas present type thing!
I’d love one of these new wallets – mywallit – as my old one is absolutely trashed – but I can’t seem to find them at any retailers in Australia. Which sucks! Naturally I like the pinky/purple ones… in fact I like most of the bags and wallets and things in their range in the pink/purples colours 😀
Other than that I have some stuff I’ve been coveting on my Peter’s of Kensington WishList… I have a ‘thing’ for kitchenware and rarely make it out of kitchenware stores with my credit card intact… But it won’t let me make the Wishlist public, I can only email it to people. (If you want the Wishlist – leave me a comment with an email address that I can forward it to.)
I think that about covers it in ideas from me – the only other thing I need at the moment is more Qantas Frequent Flyer Points to cover the remaining unbooked sectors of my next big trip! I have kinda used all mine up. 😀
Have fun in Ireland…
