Some things you could buy me, if you felt like it.

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it is seasonally appropriate that the internet gets saturated with:

• horrible craft ideas from twentysomething tattooed crocheting cupcake-makers, and/or
• vitriolic sprayings from single feminists, and/or
• tired, played-out articles in popular press about the commercialisation of the occasion.

I don’t want to get all ranty (don’t encouarge me) but given that V-Day does in fact encourage consumption, here is a list of things I would quite like as a gift if anyone would like to surprise me. My birthday is not until September and that seems very far away.
