Pop's and Gran's 2017 Wishlist

Santa I have been very obedient also, most of the time, so now I would like some time off to rest and read a book. Richard Fiedler is one of the authors of Sagaland. He sells through ABC shops and it sounds interesting. I hope to come up something to do with camping Santa soon, if you can carry that.

Im having trouble coming up with something - Im looking for some funky camping lights shaped like caravans I saw in Berry otherwise a jug thingy for salad dressing thats easy to wash out - with a stopper for shaking would perhaps be good.  Keep you posted  Mum xxx

Steph's Krissy wishlist

Dear Kris,
I have been extra good this year. I would like you to know I've been brushing my teeth well and eating my vegetables.

I am a simple girl, with simple needs. For example, Pandora has some nice charms which would be a good addition to my Pandora bracelet - normal size charm.

I've also seen come cool Yoga Joes that i'd like to put in my house. If you ordered them soon, they could get to mum n dad's house in time for xmas.! They are so funny!

It would be great to receive a new pair of Brooks Ghost 9 Womens running shoes. Size 8.

I also have a wishlist on Amazon for some books that may be found in general book stores:

  • Any book by Pema Chodron, my favourite buddhist nun.
  • The whole brain child - Dan Siegel
  • Difficult conversations - Stone, Patton, Heen
  • Out of our minds; learning to be creative - Robinson
  • The element; how finding your passion changes everything - Robinson

Colums 2016 list

Have been cooking up quite a storm on my new smoker and need a couple of things to compliment it. 1. A trimming/boning knife of good quality. I like the victorinox swibo range. Doesnt have to be this one but I would like this shape. Can even be a little more curved. Must be of this style and not too flexible. http://www.everten.com.au/victorinox-swibo-boning-knife-curved-blade-16-cm.html?gclid=CjwKEAiAsMXBBRD71KWOh6fcjRwSJAC5CNE1U1BQrhtbWhtqVR8us8JFHeCZhmetUoPoQBNnH3Kc9RoCmpHw_wcB 2. The 'Franklin BBQ, a meat smoking manifesto' book, I think it is available at dymocks, I have seen it at BBQs Galore as well. http://www.bookdepository.com/Franklin-Barbecue-Aaron-Franklin/9781607747208 If you cant get it then any of these will do. http://ausbbq.com.au/great-books-on-barbecue/ But please not a genral BBQ cookbook, must be Low and Slow BBQ. 3. A VERY large nylon cutting board. I'm talking around 50 - 60 cms long.

Dear Santa
Its hard for you I know as I am a woman who has everything (almost but not quite) anyway I need some new mascara, dark brown but not the lash building one, Lancome or Clinic or Chanel.
A snazzy kneeling pad for the garden would be nice.
I'm always in the market for Chanel 5 eau de perfume.
Cant think of anything else xx

More ideas for Santa

Santa, you know how I like fishing well I have heard you can get a new kind of killer fishing line! If possible could you fit some braid line in your bag, about 3 kg line and about 130-150 metres? Those fish need some more thinning out!

Chrissy update

I should mention Santa that the Camps 7 I would really love is the edition with Happy Snaps, photos of thousands of camps sites in it. Hope you are feeling generous.

Sunday, November 10, 2013

Dear Santa
What a year it has been!  Some good and some not so good but looking forward to 2014 very much.
The only thing I'm liking at the moment is a little 'recycled' dog from Berry markets which may be difficult for you get, so I will have to work on something else if that's not possible but he is really cute for the garden and all hand made from old 'rubbish'.

Update
Maybe little sunbeam mini chopper -- same as Kaz's one.
Maybe good book - preferably true story
Any vouchers - think there banned but maybe useful to make up to total spending
Good brand mascara

Col's Chrissy wish list

Dear Santa, Now that camping/travelling is on the action plan, You might consider a Camps7 Australia Wide book with all the maps and free camp sites throughout the country. I think number 7 is the latest.

MUMS THE WORD!

Dear Santa

Saw great recipe from Poh's tonight to rival Kazies cup cakes!!  So I would like a good quality metal icing bag (I've always wanted one actually) but keep forgetting until  I need to use it.  I would like a No 5 star nozzle and a plain one also  if you can fit it in your sack.  Pohs looked like a big syringe.  Some Sukin pump body lotion maybe is always handy.  Some gardening gloves would be great - I seem to go through them.
Any vouchers for facial, pedicure, ABC shop, Myers or DJ's or Katmandu - I need summer walking shoes from them -  Keen brand open-style and strong - saw them in Italy.
Hope this helps you Santa xx
Chanel Mascara is a fav. too.

Colum

Some ideas to help
- GQ magazine subscription
- tie pin (I like Jack London or English inspired)
- a few cups for tea. I like to drink out of good china and don't like them too large and mug not bowl shape, but larger than cup and saucer. (kaz - basically same size as all the cups/mugs at mum and dads)
- good quality running socks
- world war z book

Kaz's kris wish list

Hello santa One thing I would like this year because I've been really good is a mini food processor. I would like a small one because I usually don't like kitchen appliances, and especially really large ones. I wouldn't be using it THAT often but sometimes I'd like to easily pull out a little food processor if I need it for those special moments. It would also be great if it was easy to clean. Please note I already have a bar wizz and a blender on top of my kenwood chef. I hope that helps. It'd be a bonus if it looks cute too! (The breville mini wizz looks cute but haven't done much research to see what else is out there) Thanks x
