Material me, 2017.
A wish-list of material possessions I shall gradually amass this year!
I plan to write a handy checklist like this every year to so I can buy stuff that makes me happy, budget my spends through the year, make it easy for my people to shower their love(read gifts)and probably look back over the years to track how the my material-self has evolved. I said that with a straight face.
If you’re reading this, feel free to pick any of these for me. Importantly, note that my birthday is on 9th of May.

I love collecting socks as souvenirs from the places I travel to!

Orchids are first love, followed by white lilies! Pressed fallen flowers from the places you travel to would be lovely too! I got some from the Himalayas last year. I was dreaming of making a travel journal of these, just like stamps!
