Wishlists
My wishlists are an insight into my personality, hobbies and tastes—and a surefire way of getting my attention. So far, the most remarkable wishlist gift has been an 1861 Springfield musket; but gifts of any size genuinely make my day!
for trinkets and treasures: lingerie, dresses, and jewelry
for books and useful items: a window into my daily life
These gifts ship anonymously, so please include a note so I know who to thank.
Gifts
Treats & Drinks: I’m always pleased to find sparkling water in the suite (Pellegrino or Gerolsteiner are my favorite) or light snacks like cut fruit and cheese. My engine runs on black coffee, mint tea and the occasional green juice.
Books: American history is always a safe bet with me—double points for an obscure book on the Civil War or reconstruction. If you really want to floor me, something special from Bauman Rare Books—especially first-edition memoirs of political or military worthies—is sure to make me swoon.
Clothing & Lingerie: If you’d like to dress me up before a date please send along a gift card to Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue or Bergdorf Goodman—and don’t forget to request my private email address for the treat!
Jewelry & Coins: A sucker for gold in all its forms (be it coin, earring or bar shaped), I covet anything that can be sewn into a coat hem and traded for safe passage at a border (loose rubies, Krugerands, etc).
Trinkets: I’m delighted by small leather goods, novel travel items, and historical ephemera. I’m also taking conscripts for my legion of Playmobil Roman soldiers.
Preferences
Dining: I’m a flexible diner with no allergies. Steakhouses, Korean barbecue, Greek, Ethiopian, sushi—I like it rich, spicy and novel.
Activities: Let’s get out and explore! I’m an active person and not one to sit still for too long. If we’re staying in town let’s visit a science museum, go dig through an archive or find a local history tour. Always ready for day trip out for boating, fishing, flying or shooting; if you’re ready for a rush let’s take a helicopter tour or go drive a tank through the mud.
Accommodation: The nicer the hotel, the happier the girl. Ask me for my favorites in NYC: its’s a wonderland of elegant hospitality. For multiday engagements, please book separate or adjoining rooms so we each have a private place to nap, make calls, or spruce up in between activities.
