Ten Gifts of Christmas

1. Marc Jacobs Dot perfume, from Mr Z. Mmmmm! And such a pretty bottle!

2. A silver fold-out cake stand from Parpy Jo. We saw one in a cafe at the start of the month and I was quite taken with it so she found me one on ebay. It is beautiful to look at!

3. A red and white enamel flower brooch from Crabby, with a blue stone in the middle.

4. A beautifully soft leather travel wallet from Aliboo, which fits my Kindle in it and is the most gorgeous bright blue colour.

5. A blackboard mug from Sib and his girlfriend. I have written "brat" on the bottom already...can't wait to use it in school ;)

6. A painting from Mother Hand, called the Drunken Roman. It is bright colours and has loads of little motifs to spot and interpret.

7. Also from Mother Hand, as part of the stocking, an OS Map of Ancient Britain. I could spend hours looking at this.

8. A signed book of Tiffin recipes from my friend Paul at work. His friend wrote it - I can't decide which recipe to try first.

9. A variety of lovely bits from my secret swapper over on That Forum, including some very pretty beaded stitch markers and some novelty bookmarks I can write notes on - genius.

10. Money from the Parents Z, some of which I am hoping to put towards my purchase of a Kenwood Chef.

I feel very lucky this Christmas!
