1. Mac OS 10.5 Leopard:
I'm running 10.4 Tiger at the present moment and was planning on upgrading at around the 10.5.3 mark, but if someone were to gift it for Christmas that would save me a lot of time :)
Price: $129.00 (less with student discount)
2. Incase Neoprene Sleeve:
I've been using my computer naked since I got it. No, I haven't been the one naked, but rather it has. I would prefer to carry it around in my bag knowing it's protected than to take it out one day and find a huge crack from the lack of padding my bag provides.
Price: $34.95
3. MacBook battery:
I fear that after 17 months of continued use, my battery is not what it used to be. I'm running it at 85% of it's original capacity and occasionally it craps out on me and gives me an error citing ~20% capacity. This is obviously not terrible battery life and completely normal with it's life-expectancy, but hey, this is my wishlist. If you don't like, move on to the next item.
Price: $118 - 159
4. Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses #8009:
These are the infamous sunglass of the summer. I believe I've already established my love for them? Even though I couldn't go through with buying them, gifts are another issue...
Price: $100 - $200
5. DKNY Watch #1337:
I've been wanting this watch since around May. It used to be priced at around $120 dollars, but now it's on sale. Time to buy! Buy! Buy!
Price: $87.40
6. Starbucks Gift Certificate:
Mmmmm, *$'s
Price: You decide.
7. iTunes Gift Certificate:
I heart music, and free music is always better.
Price: You decide
8. London by Burberry:
I finally managed to get myself some London at Sephora, alas, it was just a tiny little bottle, so another full-sized batch would be swell.
Price: $60
9. Essential by Lacoste:
I find that London by Burberry is a fairly posh smelling fragrance, but for days when I just want to chillax, Essential is.... essential.
Price: $50
10. American Apparel shirts & hoodies:
For those days that I just want to chillax, American Apparel is teh awesome. Plus they have by far the greatest colour selection of any store I've ever seen.
Price: $19 & $45
11. Lacoste Fresher Gloss Mix
I've wanted these shoes since January and have yet to find them. Perhaps you have better luck?
Price: $100
12. Surprise!
Finally, for Christmas I would prefer it if all of you were to just completely disregard this entire wishlist. Forget it completely. Don't think about it anymore. Anything you would even think of spending on me I want all of you to either go and donate to Oxfam Canada or to UNICEF. For the most part, I have everything I could need or want. While I won't deny that it would be awesome to have all the above items, truthfully, I don't want them. I get by just fine without them, and if I truly have a need for them I can get them myself.
I chose Oxfam and UNICEF because I find them to be the two most important organizations to me. Oxfam promotes fair trade, immediate and sustainable solutions for people in disadvantaged countries, bringing justice and equality to areas of the world where it's needed most. UNICEF goes to children. Children who haven't done anything wrong, yet are paying a shitty price for something they can't control - the country of their birth. This holiday season, I ask that instead of giving anything to me, to give to others who truly need it.
Donate to UNICEF | Donate to Oxfam
*Please note that if you don't have a credit card, you can forward along any dollar amount to me who will ensure that it is given to the organization of your choice. Even if it's just one dollar.
