I finally decided to do it. I organised myself an Amazon Wish List. I’ve seen them on other blogs and considered it before but always had a couple of issues with such a list.
My first hesitation with posting a wish list on my blog is that I didn’t want anyone to think that I expect readers to buy me stuff. If anyone wants to put a huge smile on my face they’re welcome to dip into the list and send something my way but I’m not living under the illusion that it’s likely to happen.
Secondly, I don’t want to portray myself as greedy or materialistic by listing lots of ‘stuff’ that I ‘must have’. The items on the list are things that’d be nice but that I could well live without.
So why do I have the list? If any family or friends are wondering what I’d like for a birthday or any other occasion they don’t have to pull their hair out wondering what to buy. It’s also a place where I can keep a list for myself so that if I’m looking to treat myself it’s a simple matter of clicking a few links and then watching my letterbox.
Feel free to click the button in this post or in the left hand sidebar if you’re curious or simply ignore it if you prefer. I’m not expecting you to send me gifts.
So now you know.

I’ve got Liquid Church and Uprising if you want to borrow them.
I think it’s fun to read people’s wish lists. It tells you a little more about them.:)
Great idea, Rodney, I think I´ll do that probably, too. Thinking of all the well-meant, sadly useless stuff my mother surprises me with…
On the other hand.. my brother really does surprise me always with presents I never wished for but which are just so great and I never knew about.
Difficult choice …
