sooo many of my faves are already sold sadly!


2. Star Trek the (new) movie on DVD


3. A cake stand, preferrably vintage, like this perhaps

4. A gallery door with Victorian etched glass, maybe a bit like this, for the hall


5. A large silvery mirror for above the fireplace, perhaps something like this

6. Issey perfume! or:


Acqua Di Parma 
 






Colonia- not sure if this is supposed to be a men's fragrance but I found it in the perfume dept of David Jones - very fresh


or a Jo Malone:
Verbena of Provence is my fave 


or good old Eau Dynamisante ... or something of similar summery freshness......


7. Soap, lovely fragrant blocks of soap! Like this sort, pine scented sounds suitably Christmasy ..

8. Guilyan seashell choccies - something about them reminds me of my Christmases growing up beside the beach
