Our holiday wishlist

We've put together a list of things we would like to arrange in time for going away, and we're hard at work saving up for them. If you usually buy one of us a Christmas or birthday present, please consider putting some money towards one of the things on our list, we would be ever so grateful!

Let us know what it is you would like to treat us to, and you can use PayPal to help us out if you want to pay online. We'll send you a photo and a postcard of us enjoying your gift while we're away to say thank you.

If you can think of anything that should be on our list and isn't - let us know! We'll be updating this list as we save up and receive any gifts, so you'll know what we still need before we set off.

We are fully aware that some of these are a bit cheeky, so there is a nice range of stuff so you can pick out something you like the sound of. You're only 30 once, I suppose! And there will be a full report on everything posted here either while we're away or within a few days of getting back, so you know where your presents went and how much we enjoyed them. We will also keep you posted so that you know what we still need at all times. You can also help us out by clicking on the ads at the top of the page.

Thank you thank you thank you!
