Last but not least in our frankie Chrissie wishlist bonanza is our very own editor, Shannon. From pretty threads to (self-confessed) ugly kicks, Shan knows an ace Christmas gift when she sees one. While there’s not long to go now until Santa pops by town with his big ol’ sack of sweet stuff, there’s still enough time to snag any one of these bits for a pal, a partner or – let’s face it – yourself. Happy holidays, folks!

Follow the number guide in the above image.

1. I will be turning 30 in 2026, which means the dingy flatpack furniture that moved from my uni dorm to my sharehouse to my apartment are really starting to get on my nerves. If I was a wealthy home-owner (maybe in another 30 years?), I would be decorating my abode in top-to-toe fenton&fenton. At the top of my list: a swish lounge chair – like this one – that I can perch on while donning a velvet robe, twirling my moustache and puffing on whiskey-flavoured cigars.

2. This drapey skirt by Arthur Apparel has lived rent-free in my brain from the moment I saw it on Instagram. The layering potential is endless!

3. This could probably be a DIY project, but I am lazy and would rather spend my free time sitting at the pub with a wine than sitting on my floor with a hammer. I enjoy this figurine shelf from Urban Outfitters as it would be the perfect place to display the childish wares that you can pry from my cold dead hands.

4. Death to big lights!! The bulb in my living room ceiling light has blown and do I plan to replace it? Hell no. Will I instead use this as an excuse to buy more and more lamps and live out my cosy warmly-lit dreams? Heck yeah. This chrome one would look fantastic on the side table next to my lounge.

5. Apparently the Cathedral Eau de Parfum by Haus of Hecate smells like a smoky, incense-y gothic church. Drench me in it.

6. When the weather is warm and my neck is free from the woolly shackles of scarves and turtlenecks, I love using that fleshy real estate to layer lots and lots of necklaces in different lengths. I reckon this Justine Clenquet one would be perfect for layering.

7. My work laptop is a very old MacBook (so old that it was originally used by the frankie editor who was in charge when I started reading frankie as a teen). So, it is also very large. Which means I need to carry a massive tote bag on the tram in order to transport this hulking boulder to the office. The current tote I’m using is… not good. I think it was a freebie during one of those Priceline gift pack promotions like a decade ago? Very embarrassing if I’m being honest. I desperately need to bite the bullet and purchase a sturdy, high-quality, good lookin’ work tote to conceal the hefty monster that is my laptop. This St Agni one would do the trick.

8. These New Balance sneaker-loafer-hybrids are absolutely hideous. I love them.

9. I have a million lighters already but do they deliver the satisfying ‘voosh’ sound and the smoky scent of sulphur dioxide when I light a candle? No. Do they come in a vintage-style cardboard box that looks like it belongs in a seaside pub operated by a curmudgeonly bearded sailor who has a lot of stories to tell? Again, no. Hence, I’d like this fancy box of matches, please.

10. I’ve never seen a basic black top that I didn’t like – what can I say? I’m easy to please. This merino wool number by all is a gentle spring is giving chic ‘90s minimalism in the best way possible. Just sew it straight onto my torso and call it a day.
