My Christmas List Fangirl Style

Ho Ho Ho! 

So it's that time of year again. The weather is frosty, the snow is falling (not in my case because I live in Australia where we get a hot, fly filled Christmas), Santa has made his list and he's checking it twice and believe me he has found out who's been naughty and nice. Cookies are being made, presents are being wrapped and you've probably eaten more than you should have and seen all those relatives who you struggle to remember the names of. But it's all okay because it's Christmas and while it may be incredibly stressful and somewhat exhausting you grin and bear it because Santa is coming soon and well let's face it, Christmas just isn't complete without all the hassle. A lot of us celebrate Christmas differently. For some of us it's about the birth of Christ, for other's its about getting to see our family and for the more shallow it's about the gifts. But I think what we all can relate to is that it is a time of giving. So this is the things I think you should be including on your Christmas list this year if you're the fangirl type. By the way I am not sponsored by any of these but I'm open to it ;).

1. The Mortal Instruments on DVD. If you haven't purchased this wonderful piece of amazing yet, maybe like me you're banned from buying yourself anything from November 30th to December 26th by your parents, put it on your list. While the movie was a little different from the book I found it very, very enjoyable and I have put it at the very top of my list. Plus I need some Jamie Campell Bower to get through post holiday depression.

2. Movie vouchers/gift card. After Christmas we're all usually a little strapped for cash but there's always that one rich friend who is still rolling in it (p.s dear rich friends I hate you). Said rich friends have been known to casually suggest hitting up a movie. Now we all know that movies are getting pricier and pricier and the food there... I can't even talk about it, the prices make me want to cry. However if you ask for a movie voucher or a movie gift card you won't have to worry. It's a great gift to give as well, it never disappoints especially since so many great movies come out after Christmas.

3. Fandom shirts. I LOVE FANDOM SHIRTS. I'm not a big merch buyer but fandom shirts make me giddy. If you're looking for a great place but don't know any try here: http://en.qstoms.com/imaginedesigns they're cheap and I'm pretty sure if you ask nicely you can get them custom made. My favourite one is the 'Tumblr is my OTP' shirt and I plan on buying it after Christmas when I have a little money from my Nan (love you Nanna)!

4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I've seen this around for a couple months now and while I'm not putting it on my list I'm sure many of you would be interested in it. According to goodreads it's a  "A coming-of-age tale of fan fiction, family and first love.". Definitely one us fangirls.

5. Things to get you up to date. Next year a whole bunch of amazing fandom related things come out so here's what you'll need if you don't want to be left out. A copy of the Divergent series. Divergent's movie comes out in March next year and is set to be BIG. Maybe not as big as Twilight, Harry Potter or even Hunger Games but still BIG in it's own right and probably really, really awesome so why would you want to miss out? 

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. This book is a whole new kind of magic and sadness and you don't want to miss a second of it. Read the book before the movie comes out in June but I'm telling you this is something you won't forget and I'm pretty sure it's gonna to be a BIG hit. It also stars two of Divergents stars as the lead roles. While I was hesitant about the casting for this movie in the beginning from watching the actors a little more closely and adjusting somewhat I am actually really happy. 

The Mortal Instruments last book comes out next year and hopefully the second movie so make sure you read the whole series by City of Heavenly Fire's release somewhere during March, May or April; I just plain can't remember. Nevertheless go buy the whole series it's amazing. 

A new season of Sherlock starts in January so make sure if you aren't caught up already you get to it. I know I have to. The DVD would be a great present to put on your list.

6.  If you truly can't think of anything you want for Christmas this year just ask for a book gift card. That way you'll be able to chose the books you want and you can get any that come out later in the year. 

Well that's what I think y'all should have on your list this year. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Also happy holidays to all you fangirls who don't celebrate Christmas and maybe do things a little differently, I hope you all have a great time. Also on a serious note please stay safe. This time of year is very dangerous road wise and also some people can out do themselves during Christmas with the food and drink. While I believe Christmas is  a time for indulgence, safety should be considered. Keep an eye on your family members who maybe aren't doing too well and remember this is a time of love and it's not all about the presents.

xoxo Fangirl Out.
