The bells will soon be ringing with cheers of happy holidays and a better year. Though Christmas is about giving and not just recieving, I still hope to get my share in the bounties and perks of this very much awaited season.

I don't really give gifts on Christmas, or the rest of the year, for that matter, but I still want to receive anyway. Here's a list of the things I would want to receive this Christmas. So friends, I love all of you and I'll love you much much much more if you "surprise" me with these gifts. :)

2. LV Damier Graphite Wallet

I don't remember myself ever raving for a wallet, and this might be the only time I will be. I went to Louis Vuitton and my god was I surprised. I've been checking stuff from LV and I never felt like I wanted one until that time. It's really a different experience seeing it in their store compared to checking it out online. I wanted a lot: bags, shoes, belts, watches... but one of the things I liked best was the Damier Graphite wallets.

Wishlist number 2: LV's Damier Graphite wasn't initially designed for men. Since LV's market are mostly women, the canvas was intended for them. But, it was a good decision that LV tagged it under their men's collection because it's more man-ly than feminine. The wallet retails at USD405 for multiple and USD475 for the bills and cards holder.

1. Camera Lens (Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM)

I know it's a bit far-fetched, but I'm beggining to feel the weight (which is more focused on the pockets) of having photography as a serious hobby. I still don't consider photography as a serious hobby but a hobby nonetheless. Not serious: because I still don't have the means to express myself in it as much as I wanted to. You'll need to go to places, be on the alert for the perfect shot and have the right accessories to make a picture stand out.

Wishlist number 1: The 70-200mm f2.8 lens already gives you the option of takin good pictures, either macro (with it's f2.8 apperture capability) or telephoto (with 70-200mm focal length). It's not best option for a real telephoto lens but close it's close enough. This lens will be good for shooting objects at a fairly far distance and still manage to get a good depth of focus. While a lot have problems with blurry pictures, this lens comes in with an Image Stabilizer to rid you of the worry of a badly blurred photo. Of course, with all these, the price tag for one will cost you more or less Php 60,000. While this is a bit expensive for most if not all photography enthusiasts, the perfect pictures are priceless.
