Christmas lists are something of a treasure when you’re a child. You scratch your brain for hours, trying to remember the various commercials you’ve seen in the past 6 months, all of which spew the word “Christmas”. You write each thing you’d like down, usually in some kind of order (generally want most to want least), and hope for the best.

Obviously as you get older you grow out of that, and simply tell your family members that you could use a few socks, perhaps a DVD or two, and simply look forward to not having to work and eating an unnecessary amount of nuts whilst watching E.T. for the 24th time. Yet there are still things that you would like to receive, wrapped in pretty bits of paper, that people perhaps wouldn’t think of buying you had you not told them.

So, whilst I won’t be starting with “Dear Santa…” I’m going to list a few things here that I would like to see at Christmas, not because I expect anybody who reads to buy them for me (although I do know that a few of my family members read my blog (hi guys!)), but because they may put ideas in your head.

Perhaps you could leave a comment showing something good that you’ve found as well?

• USB SIM & Card Reader
  How many people are going to be getting new phones or cameras for Christmas? How many times have you bought a new phone and not been able to get the information off of your SIM card, or broken your phone and lost a load of numbers? It’s true, most cameras come with cables these days, that allow you to simply connect them to a computer without having to remove any cards – but people don’t always carry those cables with them. I don’t have a card reader in my computer, and that is quite behind-the-times of me, so being able to plug anything in would be so very handy.
• Cyber Clean
  Apparently our keyboards play host to more germs than a public toilet’s seat. When was the last time you washed your hands before typing? I thought so. This nifty wad of goo simply squidges in between the keys of your keyboard and absorbs all of the bacteria, leaving it clean and lemon-scented. Considering I spend the majority of my time at my computer typing, I can’t imagine the kinds of unpleasantries my fingertips pick up.

More to come…
