Here is a wish list:
a Son of a Sailor necklace

this gold band from Metier that looks like an engagement ring but I swear wouldn’t legally bind us if you gave it to me

this necklace at Candystore Collective

an all-expenses paid trip to Turkey

a house decorated by Confetti System

a glamour camping (“glamping”) trip

or a tree camping in Germany trip

or get me this mint velour couch and figure out how to squeeze it into my place.

That’s all!

He looked in the mirror at his new, spruced up self. “If this doesn’t get me the job, I don’t know what will!”
