Ten Things: On Matthew Singer’s Gift List

MATTHEW SINGER

1. A Vacation!  For me and my wife. I think she could use it more then me, but I have no problem tagging along. Mexico?

2. I love the NM cashmere socks. So while I’m picking up some for myself, I’ll grab a few pairs for my dad.

3. Daddy needs a new pair of Magnani for Neiman Marcus shoes!  I have a store credit burning a hole on my pocket.

4. For my twin bro, I figure I would just let him shop my closet. It’s hard to part with certain pieces, so I’ll have to edit before I let him have at it.

5. Christmas morning PJs complete with a goodnight story for the little guy.

6. Obsessed with the J9 One Touch Automatic Coffee Center!  Santa are you listening??

7. I’m not sure who yet, but someone is getting a piece of coal in their stocking.

8. 77,500 Frequent Flyer Miles to my little sister. To get her over the pond for a semester abroad in London. Enjoy it Casey!

9. I’ve always wanted to try some goodies from the NM epicure catalog. I’m sure my mom would love to cook a little less this season.

10. For my older brother I think I’ll get him a mix of things from the store. He could use a pair of 3×1 Jeans, a Neiman Marcus cashmere sweater and maybe some Jack Black product.
