christmas is fast approaching.  in keeping with this newfound freedom to do something different, we’re going to morocco for the holiday with some friends of ours.

yes, we’re spending xmas in a muslim country.  but at least everything will be open!  might go for one of those overnight safaris to the sahara desert.  because nothing says christmas like camels and sand.

we’re going away from the 21st – 28th, however, which means that the flood of xmas/birthday gifts should be planned to arrive accordingly.  to assist you in fulfilling your gift-giving duties, here’s my wish list for this year:

fresh sugar perfume.  i’ve adored this perfume for years, but never actually bought it (usually because i have far too many already!)  it smells just like its name, though – and for a sweet-tooth like me, can you think of anything more appropriate?

new sennheiser earphones.  i’ve worn my pair every single day for the last two years (including running several times a week) and they have only just begun to fall apart.  i love these suckers – they’re comfortable, sound good, are damn near indestructible, and very reasonably priced.  my *only* gripe is that the white ones get very dirty looking.  so if there’s a choice, i’m opting for black.

these are a slightly bigger ticket item, but i’m in desperate need of new running shoes.  the edinburgh marathon comes up in the spring!  i love my asics gel kayanos, and the newest model (15) has just come out.  hideous looking (all running shoes are!), but oh so comfortable to run in.  they’re going for £120 elsewhere, so £88 is actually quite a steal! (size 6uk, 8us please!)

also:  i’ve been needing an external hard drive for ages.  all my music and photos are maxing out my computer.  god forbid anything should happen to it, i’d be lost!

and finally, i could really do with a new yoga mat.  any old kind will do!

i hope everyone was taking notes.  now i shall sit back and wait for the tidalwave to arrive through my postbox!
