little timmy's christmas list, 2007 edition
OK: this is posted primarily for my family, since we exchange gift idea lists every season. However, anyone reading this is, of course, more than welcome to give me any and all of the items listed here.
1. Not 'spensive, but priceless:
Peace on Earth, goodwill to men.
The return of friendship.
Something you made.
A card.
Time with you.
2. Less 'spensive:
Work/dress shirts ... Banana Republic, for example ... size L or 15-1/2 x 34/35.
Bizarre and/or ugly cufflinks.
Sweaters ... think modern, like a half-zip wool thing, rather than something like this.
A man jewelry box dresser valet,
something like this one.
A ceramic knife, like this one, or this one.
A cast iron skillet, 10" or 12" diameter.
A wet/dry rechargeable electric shaver, preferably a Braun ... maybe like this one.

Quirky T-shirts, size L.
A pearl snap cowboy shirt, size L.
A Capresso 560 Infinity burr grinder.
