Throw Throw Burrito Dodgeball Card Game – Always good to throw a Burrito at someone just for fun (Kirsty) – Throw Throw Burrito Game
Succulent of some sort in a nice pot – a real winner with more working from home and can brighten up the desk space. Also from experience very easy to maintain and keep alive! (Pete)- 130mm Ceramic Bowl Succulent Garden | Bunnings Warehouse
Some scented candles to spruce up the home when family is around (Manu) – Ecoya Candle @ Myer

Shure Aonic 215 Sound Isolating Earphones w/ Universal Cable (Clear) – if ever there was a year for good corded headphones then this is the year. 2021 promises to be full of Zoom calls and from experience you want a corded pair to avoid lag and charging issues. (Pete) – Shure earphones @ Store DJ

Music on the go with an Ultimate Ears BOOM speaker. The joy of music wherever you are! (Sarah) – Ultimate Ears Website
A good food gift card to use at any of Melbourne’s amazing restaurants, that was one of the main things I missed in lockdown was heading out to a restaurant with friends so this will help make up for lost time (Zac) – Good Food Gift Card
Sky is the limit (imagining we just won lotto and price is not a consideration!)
A classic Rolex DateJust 36 (Mardy) – Rolex DateJust 36 Watch

Somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit with the family – the great barrier reef (Manu) – Great Barrier Reef
Covid has me thinking of spending more time in Victoria, so a weekend away with dinner & matched wines (of course) at Brae. You can stay next door to the restaurant at the guest suites which look amazing, and save you having to travel with a full belly! (Pete) – https://braerestaurant.com/ & Brae Guest Suites (broadsheet.com.au)
A beachside holiday home in Byron Bay to share with friends and family for me please. If there’s no limit a Yoga/Dance studio too! (Sarah) – Visit Byron Bay
Provided America gets COVID under control… Courtside seats to the NBA to see Dallas Mavericks vs LA Lakers. Would be amazing to see the old goat (Lebron) vs the new goat (Luka) in action (Zac)
