holidaywishesI'm Paul. I have now reached the heady age of 30 and haven’t been on LJ in AGES. But I LOVE granting wishes, so back I scamper and I've just realised how much I miss this place.
Write a greeting card to someone who needs one
This is by far my most important wish. Amnesty International ask people like us - who are able t enjoy their freedom - to send a card with a friendly greeting or message of solidarity to someone who is in danger or unjustly imprisoned. There is a list of 50 people here. Please chose one.
Dipping Ink
I love writing letters and I use a quill. This is because I'm either old fashioned or pretentious. I'm also aware that quite a few people getting dipping ink and never use it. So if you have a little jar of ink at the back of a draw, I'd love it if you could send it to me.
What ever you have for breakfast
OK, probably not a good idea if you go for a full English every morning, but I would love to try your favorite cereal. No need to send a box of cereal, just enough for a bowl full would be fine. One thing, I am vegetarian so probably can't have things with marshmallows. And don't worry about adding milk before you post.
Fuel my teeny tiny greed
This is my over the top ask. Anything here would be AMAZING.
Christmas Card
Like most people , I love getting Christmas cards. I'm really keen on doing my bit for the environment b ut I just can't resist these things even if they are a little bit naughty. Don't worry, by January they'll either be rotting away to make peas grow nice and strong, or cut up to be used as tags for next years gifts!
A surprise gift
Anything at all that costs under about £2. Seriously, surprise me.
Snack food
I know a lot of people ask for sweets here - which are ALWAYS a good idea - but I thought I'd go a bit more general as some people may like an odd flavored crisp or some such. So any kind of snack food that might be a bit odd or unusual would be really interesting. Once again, I'm a vegi.
Books
Either the book itself or a recommendation. If it's a recommendation I'll get it at the Library when I get the chance, if you send me the book it self I promise to read it straight away. I'll probably put up reviews on my LJ too so that you know what I thought.
Fantasy related items
I'm such a geek and love the whole swords and sorcery thing, so I'd appreciate anything Fantasy related, from a Lord of the Rings key ring to a Conan the Barbarian shoe brush.
Money to Amnesty
You've looked through my list, eager to send me something because you're a lovely person. Unfortunately you don’t eat breakfast and thought think that C S Lewis is a high street chain store. Don't worry! Let's assume that postage costs £1. Instead of spending that money on a stamp, why not donate it to Amnesty International?
So there is my list.
I hope you and all of your loved ones have a wonderful time this year and a truly fantastic Christmas.
