Wishlist

Thank you so much for visiting my wishlist, which is regularly altered and updated.  It is always changing so keep an eye on it if you are thinking of treating me please. (my birthday is 28 June but surprises are welcome any time! )

This is purely a short and very limited guide for anyone kind enough to want to buy me a gift and who isn’t sure what I would like.  I obviously like lots of things that aren’t on this list but hopefully the following will be of some help to those of you who are a little anxious about choosing something!  To be honest I’m easily pleased!  If you want to think outside the box have a peep at my likes and dislikes on my autobiography page!

UNDIES & CLOTHING

Bras and panties from ASDA or MATALAN for daily use (see I’m cheap to buy for)! …  36C bra and 14 knickers usually fit (receipt attached is the safest option).

Always happy to receive warm fluffy size 7 bedsocks! 

Any supermarket dress – usually a 10 but please include the receipt (sealed) as sometimes a 12 is better.  Fresh classic tea-dance floral, stripes or summer gingham styles of dresses from ASDA, TESCO or MATALAN are my thing. I prefer longer length – not short or over the knee. (Quite happy to receive a ‘voucher’ or cash and choose myself if you prefer)

Pastel coloured button-up-the-front cardigans in size 12 (allows for movement) always welcome. Plain or patterned.

 PERFUME

Daisy by Marc Jacobs is my absolute favourite (about £48) but anything floral – lavender, rose, magnolia, fressia, lily of the valley etc. (all the old ladies favourites basically) by the old fashioned makes – Woods of Windsor, Crabtree & Evelyn etc. goes down very well indeed.

MUSIC

Irish/Scottish Celtic Music / accordion music always welcome.

 VOUCHERS

My favourite shops are ASDA, Tesco, TKMaxx, Primark, Matalan, Body Shop.  Anywhere except Marks & Spencer which I find horribly dull!

 HOME FURNISHINGS

Large Perfumed Candles

Any colour kitchen towels!

White Bath Towels / Cream Bath Towels

White Flannels / Cream Flannels

Pessle and Mortar for grinding things in the kitchen

Super Kingsize Bed duvet.  YES that is the biggest size you can get!  My bedroom is fresh and bright with a slant towards green/yellow (flowers and leaves sort of thing).

Cushion Covers – cream, gold, green, yellow – that sort of pallet – always useful to have spare when I wash the ones the cats have sat on!

 CONSUMABLES

Whisky (Talisker my favourite) but any whisky is appreciated!

Red wine – not French

Chutney/Marmalades

Cheese
