Dear Santa, from Brent

It’s getting hot! Although I’m sure you’re well aware of this thanks to your annual yuletide commitment. I imagine by the time you reach the Federated States of Micronesia you have stripped down to a modest singlet and shorts ready for your Down Under drop-off. With that in mind, I’ve opted for a more practical swag this year. Please may I have a pair of Found Organic basics mulberry swim shorts to strut in the waves, an organic Terry Rich beach towel to dry off with, a pair of Sanük Sidewalk Surfers to tackle the hot sand and some Fold and Play Portable Speakers made from recycled materials to deliver the Summertime tunes. Oh, and if I’m going to get the inevitable jocks this year, can they please be an organic pair from Thunderpants?!
