I want… to tell people what I want

I know it’s only July, but I reckon it’s never too early to start thinking about what I want for Christmas.  Or indeed, my next birthday (OK, that’s in June, but I like to be organised).

If there’s one thing that everyone in my household enjoys, it’s browsing websites and brochures for things we’d like to be given as Christmas presents.

The problem is, though, that we then have to write lists based on the pages we’ve browsed, and by the time we’ve written down the item name, reference, price, stockist and any other information that might help the potential present purchaser, things can start to get messy.

Imagine my joy, then, when I discovered these get the hint stickers.  They’re printed with phrases like “I want this”, “buy this” and “yes please” – simply find something you fancy in a brochure, whack one of these stickers next to it, and leave the brochure lying around where anyone so inclined to buy you a present might stumble upon it.

Genius!
