One of those big china models of a shire horse complete with leather harness pulling a wooden gipsy caravan

A mini skirt
A blow up doll (I'm on a bit of a theme, here, aren't I?)
One of those inflatable light up 6' tall models of Homer Simpson to put in the front garden at Christmas
Just about any of those imitation stone statues they sell in garden centres - but preferably a donkey (then you can tell fil it reminds you of him!!!)
An indoor fountain, preferably with fibre optic lights
One of those moving light up pictures they're selling at the moment in shopping malls (my kids are desperate for one!)
Remnant of pink shag pile carpet for their bathroom
I'll try & think of more...

Collection of Lilliput Lane cottages
Models made of brass
Plastic gnomes & windmill for the garden
New doorbell that plays 7 different tunes
