Mickey's Christmas Wish List
My Christmas Wish List
The holidays are just weeks away, and one of my favourite things to do is to tell people what I want.
I miss the days when I was young, and would cut out images of the toys I wanted from Toys R Us and Walmart flyers, making a wishlist for Santa Claus. Then, when Christmas day would finally arrive, I'd feign excitement as I opened up my presents and realized that I got nothing I asked for.
So, here is my 2020 Christmas wish list:
1. Bath Bombs
Am I the only person who still enjoys taking baths? Most people I know tell me they almost never take one, but there's nothing I love more than soaking in a hot tub of water after a long week.
2. Scented Candles
Like most basic bitches, I love a good scented candle. Every year, I try to hoard as many Bath & Body Works candles as I can, and then realize that I still have a huge stash by the end of the year because I hardly ever manage to burn through an entire candle.
3. Ramen Comfort Set
I stumbled across this random item on the internet, and absolutely have to have it. It's totally ridiculous, but the novelty factor is too cute to pass up on! As we all continue to bum out at home, this ramen comfort set seems like the perfect must-have!
4. Taylor Swift Folklore Jacket
This should come as no surprise, but anything Taylor Swift will always be on my wishlist. I am obsessed with Taylor's new album Folklore, and I have no merch from this new era yet, believe it or not. I typically like clothing that is more subtle and subdued, without huge logos or images on them, however, when it comes to TSwift, I will proudly sport her face across my chest in public.
5. Bananagrams
When it comes to board games, I usually prefer a game that will last no more than a couple of minutes and requires little to no explanation on how to play. I don't have the mental capacity or concentration to play something as elaborate as Settlers of Catan or any game where strategy is involved. I'm not that great with words, but Banagrams is one of those fast-paced word games that any dimwit can figure out.
6. Disney Masks
How lame is it that I want a face mask for Christmas? Seriously though, now that we're all leaving the house sporting these things, I'd love to brand my face with Mickey Mouse.
7. Sour Candy
I like my tea sweet, and my candy sour. Anyone who knows me well knows that I love sour candy. Nothing is more satisfying than having your tongue destroyed by sucking on a sour piece of candy that overloads your senses. It's my heroine.
8. Friendship Bracelet Floss
My latest obsession has been making friendship bracelets at home during the pandemic. There's something extremely therapeutic and relaxing about weaving a bracelet out of cheap string, and turning what would otherwise be worthless crap, into an even more elaborate piece of worthless crap. I can't wait to give the bracelets away to my non-existent friends once we are finally allowed to socialize again.
9. Crocodile Potato Peeler
In all seriousness, I once got a rose-gold potato peeler for Christmas, and it was one of the best gifts I ever received. I supposed that's a sign of me becoming a boring adult. Cute household products are now more prominent on my wishlists I suppose. I also stumbled across these potato peelers and it reminded me of how easily entertained I am.
10. Lottery Tickets
When you offer someone lottery tickets, you are really reminding them of their dream of being able to quit their job, travel the world, lounge around on the beach all day and have servants at their beck and call. Those dreams then get shattered as they scratch away at that slim glimmer of hope, and realize that instead of instant riches, they are reminded of how poor they are. We are reminded of how we will never escape the rat race, yet we cling to the possibility of financial freedom. The perfect gift!
Happy holidays!
