Tis the season list
The holidays are upon us and as usual I am introspective about what to get people as gifts. The last few years has reinforced my belief that stuff is the enemy. I don't want to get stuff for people just to have it be one more pebble on the penguin pile.
Unless someone has made it clear what they seek I am go to give what I want to receive. That's is something combustible consumable or intangible. Chief among these things are good cheer.(well wishing and hanging out) The next is something that after it has lived it's time in the sun it is no more.(food, digital art, gift cards and supplies)
Don't get me wrong Surprising someone with something awesome and unexpected is truly grate. But getting that right is more of the exception then than the rule. Normally when I come across something like that I don't wait for the holidays to act.
What follows is a list of things I have been looking for. I just can't remember I am looking for them when I am out and about. Any thing on this list would be just fine for Christmas or my Birthday.
edit
The things I seek do not have to be new and shinny just workable.
-Brita water pitcher or faucet filter
-6'x8' rug ( very simple or no-pattern cool primary and secondary colors)
-Something to hold Plastic Handle Bags
-A mid size plastic box with lid or something to hold kitchen food wast between trips to the composter

-Fire lighter (like for a charcoal grill)
-Paper egg cartons
