what do you really like? i don't mean perhaps collections but something that is really you. perhaps Pinterest boards or things you just look at online or in books for hours dreaming!
I will go first so my five items i choose are;
Beach huts
Flamingos
Caravans older the better
Cath Kidston especially bags
1960s glass vases bubble ones with a coloured base
so what five would you choose?

The OP asked for things we really like rather than just our favourite things, so you might find my list a bit different.

Dahlias
The path that leads to 'my' beach
Original screenprints (Angie Lewin, Angela Harding etc)
Frasier (the TV comedy)
Shoes that are comfy from the moment you buy them

There are several online art print services that, if you send a list of the things you like/love, they will arrange the words into a poster for framing. They make a lovely gift.
