My Christmas wish list

What I'd really like for Christmas is the destruction of patriarchy, a Green/SNP coalition at next year's General Election, and an end to our reliance on fossil fuels. But other than that, I'm a simple soul: cool prints, feminist anything, a pretty dress, or a slogan tote bag will always be on my list.

1. I so, so want this ace 'Smash patriarchy' t-shirt from Cafe Press. I'm already planning my SS15 wardrobe, which if I have my way will mostly be this tee teamed with a rotation of midi skirts.

2. I already have the Sugar & Vice 'Feminist' necklace but would love this cute brooch to match. It's a mere £7 from Kate's Little Store on Etsy.

3. I'm crazy in love with this lace dress from H&M. How perfect would it be for Christmas Day dinner?

4. The totes from Alphabet Bags are all amazing, but I'm particularly taken with this Hello Sunshine design. Or perhaps I should continue the feminism theme with the Riots Not Diets tote bag from Miss Harry on Etsy, which would go perfectly with my necklace.

5. One of The Boy's nicknames for me is 'Plan It Janet', so this Ok Here's the Plan notebook would be ideal for my lists. And it's 25% off at Debenhams at the moment (thanks to Hook, Line & Sink Her for alerting me to this news - I do love a bargain).

6. Having for years relied on sagging Primark pyjamas, last winter I treated myself to a pair of Fat Face pj trousers and it was a revelation, I tell thee. The quality and comfort is well worth the price tag (particularly as I spend at least 80% of my free time in pyjamas during the winter months). These reindeer ones would be a lovely to wear on Christmas morning.

7. I've had Steal Like An Artist (a guide to creativity) on my book list for ages, and would love to find it in my stocking.

8. Art for my walls is always a good bet - I love black & white photography or anything featuring text and typography. This print from Red Bubble would be perfect in our bedroom.

What's on your Christmas wish list this year?

    I love FatFace PJs. Lasted washing so well. So soft. And pockets! Adjustable lengths! I'm considering treating myself to a pair this year.

      It's the pockets that get me, so useful! Last year I waited until their online sale began on Christmas Eve and then bought two pairs.

    I think your first three things (patriarchy smashing, Green/SNP coalition and stopping relying on fossil fuels) are totally going on my Christmas list. I also love the PJs

    Thanks for the link :) I've started using that notebook and can confirm it's just as awesome as it looks. I love the colour of that dress and will definitely be checking out fat face's pjs; I'm with you on spending the majority of winter in mine too xxx

    Ohhh that dress. Love it. After having a minor panic last night about how dull I was because all of my Things I Would Like For Xmas list items are really boring and practical, I have spent half of today daydreaming about the kind of lovely things that I should probably ask for instead!

      I went through quite a phase of asking for v practical things for Christmas, but particularly because I'm not spending any money on treats for myself at the moment, this year I'm all about the fun stuff!
