Christmas List: Part 2

Continuing on from this post, I'm going to be dishing out my hypothetical xmas pressies to the much appreciated members of my blogroll!

Kali's ADD blog! - Kali is an enigma. She's a New Yorker, a wildly talented writer and actress and yet is, inexplicably, also something a conservative! I think I put her nose out of joint with some of my more disgustingly liberal posts. To make amends, I think she'd enjoy this: An American Carol. This movie looks HILARIOUS, but isn't out on DVD yet. When it is, though, you can be sure I'll be watching it - and apparently, it's a 'conservative' comedy, so I think Kali will get a giggle from it, too.

Kilted Travel Agent - Ah, the international man of mystery himself, who is also the spouse of the lovely Paisley Penguin. I'd get him the latest Bond book - Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks. It's a cracker - you can read my review of it here.

Kimmy's blog - Kimmy's just started an epic addition to her beautiful house, so my Christmas present to her would be a 'tasteful' Friendly Faces Moose Trophy to brighten up the new room! Don't worry, I know it says it's stuffed, but not in the way most Maine hunters would imagine.

Kiss N Tell Confessions - For Christine, I'd buy her a very unimaginative present, but I think she'd appreciate it - a 60 day subscription to World of Warcraft. Wifey and I have both looked at this game, but we know it'd be like virtual crack and we'd both get addicted if we started playing - not that we have any time with Baby Boozer to look after!

Kitty's Bloggy Bits - Kitty's just started sewing a new line of bags, so I thought she might appreciate this guide to Making Vintage Bags. Poor old thing. She's practically a one woman sweatshop! It's her own fault though - she makes such nice things everybody wants them.

Laura Parish - First off, Laura's VERY naughty for not updating her blog more. Secondly, I'd buy this budding author Will Write for Shoes, Cathy Yardley's much touted guide to writing a chick-lit novel. I expect to see the first draft shortly, Ms. Parish!

Mommy Has a Headache - As I've done with my other creative chums, I wouldn't buy Emma K a single thing. Instead, I'd make sure to buy all my suitably-inclined friends a copy of her rip-roaring Black Lace book, Lured by Lust (written under the tempting pseudonym of Tania Picarda.)

Mostly Lisa - What do you buy the ultimate Apple-addict? Clearly, a teeny-tiny (she is a model, after all) t-shirt that proudly reads: "Hello. I'm a MAC."

A new line in bags is pushing it a bit! I made two! Actually, I've made another since then, but haven't blogged it then.

Thank you so much for your sweet and thoughtful gift. Perhaps I should make you a nice man-bag? :-D

Thanks for the comment about Oxford and a Kitty - what an amazing coincidence?! If you and your family are ever over this way, please do say and this Kitty will happily show you the sights.

Merry Christmas to you all - I'm sure that little boy of yours is going to add a whole new dimension.

Thank you for the recomendation on the Bond book.

I have a weakness for biographies so the big on my list is Carrie Fisher's "Wishful Drinking".

Then of course for the Bond fan, there is Sean Connery's autobiography, "Being A Scot".

Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday.
