If wishes were fishes I'd be married to the sea

Everyone knows that things are tight this year--I mean cripes, we're constantly reminded of it no matter which way we turn. Still, I'm used to things being tight, and I've never let it stand in the way of one of my favorite activities: buying Christmas presents!

I love the whole process: the planning, writing out little secret lists and checking them off one by one, the excitement you feel when you find that perfect thing, the one that's a bit of a surprise but you just know they'll love, and the wrapping, oh the wrapping!

Anyways, I'd love to make a post about what I'm giving, but that would be something of a killjoy for a few too many Banana followers (Hi Mom! Hi Cassie! Hi Alex!) So instead, here's a few things on my own list this year:


Camera Tee from Delia's.


Roost teapot.


Stella McCartney perfume.


Bottle Rocket Criterion Collection dvd (I love this cover, I want a poster of it!)


Los Alamos by William Eggleston, though I might just have to settle for a trip to The Whitney (if you can call that settling...)


The Biba Experience


Some skinny tan cords (that feel very A.P.C. to me. I'd like to feel me some real A.P.C., but c'est la vie!)


Shoes that will make me feel sassy but will not make me fall down.


And the moon in my room!

So tell me, what's on your list (to give OR get)?
