Perfume. I am a total perfume junkie. I can never have enough, from the Bath & Body spritzers to Clinique. I am not a girl with a signature scent – my scent changes with my mood. Currently I'm coveting Daisy by Marc Jacobs and (almost embarrassingly, but it smells SO good) Sensational by Celine Dion.

Anything to make my domestic life easier. For instance, I am in desperate need of a new vacuum (have my eye on the Bissel Pet Hair Eraser, because things get a little out of control with five animals in one house), and I'm coveting those matching, coordinated Tupperware sets that come complete with a little holding rack. Also, an ornate, wall-mounted spice rack would absolutely overwhelm me with glee.

But hey, thanks for the great ideas! I already have Christmas covered for my boi, but her birthday's not too far away and these ideas are perfect.

for those who can covert pounds to dollars…

and for butches, I second the soul above who suggested men's handkerchiefs. I am always touched by the men who offer me their soft cotton handkerchiefs in place of a disposable kleenex. There is something particularly old-fashioned and enormously gentlemanly about it. And it is mine to keep as a reminder of their kindness. I would love to see more butches emulate this old habit. It's probably not a bad way to make a good first impression and a reason for your lady in question to see you again if only to return your kindness, washed, pressed and folded.

I let http://www.sockdreams.com write most of my Christmas list for me.

But then again, I would take anything off my XXXmas wishlist!

I've made a habit of gifting the many gentlebutches in my life with a men's handkerchief, since so few people carry them anymore. Here's a personalized one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_galle...

I shave my face and neck, but keep my chin hairs. My facial hair is something that a lot of other people interpret as masculine, but that I think of as femme. Because it's on me, and pretty much everything about me is femme.

That silver design is just so, so much more elegant than the pink plastic Gillette Mach Whatever I've currently got at my vanity. And it's androgynous enough that to work for a butch or a femme, I think. And it goes with the 1940s pin-up aesthetic I sometimes like to rock. (I'm picturing a really fun photo shoot now, actually…)

Thanks for the Stuff Porn, Sinclair!

And I don't say that just because I'd like to be the girl being fisted in the cabin ;-)
