In which I list frivolous birthday wishes

It is my birthday coming up soon so I thought it would be fun to d
o a little wish list. The thing is that the list below is not the stuff that I really want, like a light box or a kindle, but the things I have my eye on for aaages, but will probably never buy because they are completely frivolous and too expensive. Everyone has things like this. Plus I can show you some of the bizarre stuff I have saved on my wishlists.
1. Power Cable scarf.
I think this is adorable. It isn’t obvious immediately how geeky it is and then you notice. It comes in lots of colours although I am really into orange at the moment. However it isn’t that thick so is more like a necklace than a scarf and is fairly expensive. Available to buy here.
2. Nail Varnish.
I have a growing obsession with nail varnish. I have one colour that I wear nearly all year round, a shimmering turquoise that I bought from Sephora. I’ve had it for 2 years and the bottle is only half full. I love Sephora! Anyway I never used to like nail varnish because it is bad for the environment and doesn’t decompose and all that. However lately I have such a craving to give up my nail varnish fast and buy some coral and sunset and sea green because I think it really jazzes up and outfit. I’m going to rebel against my own environmentalism! Available to buy here
3. Ruler Bangle
I love this as a really unusual piece of jewellery and suiting me as a crafting/sewing type person. All great, but wait, how much is it? $70! Plus another $20 for postage. I Really Don’t Think So. Oh and I have tiny wrists so buying bracelets off the internet isn’t the best idea anyway. Available to buy here


4. A bonjourpoupette figure.
I know! I’ve featured this shop before! I can’t help it. I love the slightly creepy but beautiful models. This is probably the most pointless thing I want though. I have so many ornaments and decorative things in my room that this is not necessary. Still beautiful though… Available to buy here
5. A keyblade.
Keyblades are the weapon that you use in Kingdom Hearts, my favourite computer game. I did once have a beautiful keyblade necklace from the Alice in Wonderland world but it snapped. However what I want it a life-size wielding one. It could go mounted on my wall and I could do awesome photo-shoots with it. It’s true that Origami Girl has some pretty sweet powers but everything made out of origami eventually turns back to paper. It would be nice to have a keyblade that could stay as a keyblade. I don't know where to buy this one and I don't have the skills for making it yet.
