My Smiths/Morrissey collection has seen an increase just shy of 200% since I last posted about it (These Things Take Time – November 11, 2009) so I decided it’s time for an update.

I am the type, however, to have very little money, and I really want to make sure I can give her  some great (or at least thoughtful) gifts.
