I Wonna Go Surfing

Plastic door stops, nice stoking filler - Pedlars

Wooden mini torch, who doesn't need one - Pedlars
Yellow leather gloves, really unusual colour to see on your hands - Norse Projects
 Battersea Power Station book ends, a pillar in the community - Paul Smith
Laptop Note A5 Notepad, never forget - Utility 
New copy of Inventory magazine

Green suede wallet by UKAT, as carried by the original Batak Tribes of Indonesia - LN-CC
Mini woolly hat, cheap and cheerful - ASOS
Chocolate Flake tea, I've not tried it but it sounds like it would be nice and Christmasy - Teapigs

I've not actually been proper "live" for months and months now, just no time so alls I really can do is surf some online shops to see what's knocking about this christmas. Here's a few things I've put together that I would love to see in my stocking this year(obviously I would be happy with the tea!), plus, if anyone is stuck for the partner's pressies maybe this could help?

Is everyone sorted pressie wise? I've not started yet but I've got some pretty sweet ideas. 

On another subject I had a marketing presentation today, was a 30 minute one on a new concept for our trainer brand(Vans), we totally nailed it and I was really happy with the way it went, thanks to everyone's vote of confidence and listening to my continuous moaning on Twitter.

  2. I love that shade of yellow. I've been wanting a yellow dress for a long time. But it doesn't look good with my skin colour :(

  9. Oh Christmas shopping, don't remind me. I'm barely sorted though, if I had the money, I'd buy multiples of those bookends and give them to everyone.

  11. Aaah well done squire! Have you nearly got all of your work done before Christmas? I have one assignment left which is proving tricky... curse of the last essay of the year methinks! And yes, I'm in Sheffield but originally hail from near Nottingham! ♥

  12. Great picks, Mat! I haven't started the Christmas pressie thing yet, either, so suggestions are appreciated. (the wooden torch I want for myself)

  13. That power station book end is the shiz. I've been looking for some large vintage letters for a couple of years now but this might just swing me...

  14. Nice post. Very graphic ideas (well, I mean "graphic" as in "graphic designer").
