Well, first off, I've decided to buy a camera for myself this year. It's the first time I have EVER bought mine own gift for Christmas, and I don't particularly like doing it, but it's too expensive to ask any one person to buy it. Therefore, I'm going to do this as a consolatory gift sort of thing instead. Basically, my mom is contributing to it, and most likely my godmother and grandmother as well. Anyone else who wants to chip in is also welcome, because even though it sounds great that my relatives are helping, the truth is I'll probably get only enough to cover half (the downside of having a very large family). Basically the camera cost me $300 off Amazon (which is kinda a steal seeing as it usually goes for $450), and I'm expecting no more than $150 total from my family in regards to gift money. So yeah, money towards this specific cause is the number one item on my list this year.
On the other hand, I don't want just one present. I'm more than willing to pay the second half of my camera by myself. If you don't feel comfortable giving me money or you just want to be different, here are some other options, some of them surprising even to myself.
1. The Second Tsubasa artbook that just came out in Japan. (Yeah, I hated the ending but that doesn't make the art any less beautiful. I just want to finish my Tsubasa collection.)
2. A purse. Like a nice, cute purse to wear with nicer outfits instead of my sachtel. I don't need anything fancy or expensive, definitely no guicci ripoffs or anything. Just something cute, simple, and not too big or bulky. I was thinking Dani might be good at this, since she has a better fashion sense than me. Or Katie. It's just a thought. (Please no red, orange, or yelllow though, I don't know the laws of purse fashion go but I need something kinda neutral so that it can match most of my clothing.)
3. Clothes or gifts cards to purchase clothes. (I'm getting desperate again.) I like to shop at Macy's, Dillard's, and Target.
4. Other gift cards, to places like Barnes and Noble, Borders, Best Buy, or Target for books and movie addictions.
5. Jewelry. It has come to my attention that I have very little good or useful jewelry for my age range. Most of what I had before this year was purchased in my teens and is deeply outdate or destoryed by it's own cheapness. I guess I just want to start looking more like a young woman, so help in this area would also be appreciated.
6. Surprises. You know me. You have a brain. I'm sure you can two and two together.
