I bought an art print by the Peruvian
photographer Mario Testino to decorate
the wall in my new living room. Now I can
enjoy the presence of Kate Moss every
evening, and so far my girlfriend has
tolerated it without complaint.

For me the purchase of the year was the
iPhone that I bought as a present for my
wife. She is absolutely thrilled with it, and
especially with the internet applications.
And my 6-year-old son shares her
enthusiasm, because of the games on it.
So my purchase has made three people
happy.

Relations, Deutsche EuroShop
At the end of 2010 I bought myself a genuinely
consumable item for the office: a crate of
Cherry Coke in handy 330 ml cans (depositfree
from the Netherlands). Now I can wallow
in memories of my youth and emulate the
great Warren Buffett. Of course I will add the
aluminium cans to the recycling when I’ve
finished!

Being a passionate biker, I bought a BMW
R1200-GS last summer. Unfortunately I have far
too little opportunity to go on tours with it and
“feel the wind in my hair”.

I revamped my balcony –
everything is freshly painted
and I replaced the balcony
furniture and bought new plant
containers. Now I’m looking
forward to the summer.

In autumn 2010 I treated
myself to new carving skis
(“race carvers”) from Atomic,
in the faint hope that they
would improve my skiing style
a touch.

For years my wife and the boys have
wanted a cat. This year I caved in.
Now we have two: Kleo and Luke.
We bought them a scratching post.
It looks like a big, black loudspeaker
box. (The salesman said “People only
buy these at Christmas.”) But the
cats prefer to be in the garden and
I’m glad the scratching post has now
been consigned to the cellar.

I keep upgrading the technical
gadgetry I have in my home. The era
of the cathode ray tube is over. My
new LCD TV from Sony is not only
stylish; it is also a super all-rounder.

Where shoes are concerned, I like to invest in quality. So
after 23 years I bought a new pair of Allen Edmonds shoes
and said goodbye to the old ones, even though they were
still in perfect condition really.

Because I moved house last year, a lot of my purchases
fell into the category of “necessary but unglamorous” –
unless you’re into washing machines. One exciting
acquisition, though, was the Canon 5DMKII camera, which
is just brilliant for HD videos as well.
