Not fishing but waving
Thursday, September 21st, 2006 03:48 pmWe received the new GoodGifts catalogue the other day. It's full of fab things (and if anyone feels like getting me a gift for any reason, the list below is a good starting point!)
They've added a wishlist option, too, though it works rather oddly: a PDF of selected items (from a selection that doesn't quite match the actual catalogue) and a wishlist reference -- WL1369 -- to be typed in online order form's comments box, or quoted on a phone order).
I'm off to Plymouth tomorrow, and taking the catalogue with me -- hopefully I can persuade my sister that I'd rather have something ethical than more Tat.*
Brain Cell (one can never have too many, and Parkinson's Disease in particular is a research goal close to my heart)
Two Mangrove Seedlings
Clear 10 square metres of minefield
A quarter acre of swamp
An acre of rainforest
A meadow of spring flowers
A Bluebell Wood
Women's Literacy
Fishwife's Business (for anyone who thinks I can be a little ... strident)

Herbs for Lions
Feed a Homeless Rat (Most of the rats I know have homes, not to mention LiveJournals)
Let Sleeping Sloths Lie
* Regular readers will recall the bronze fairy sculpture; the cat-picture made with real fur; the glittery fridge-magnets; the blingy watch ...
