Author’s note for the fic in my next comment! (It wouldn't fit in the post with the fic)
This gets to be at least R, probably more, and you may not want to read if you don’t like the idea of meanness to other characters. This is my first five things prompt (and my first fanfic writing besides a work-in-progress) so I would absolutely adore feedback! <3
1. Daniel is... well, he is probably working harder than he ever has in his life, to be honest. But it doesn’t really feel like it, because now he actually lets himself relax when he needs to. He has no idea why he hadn’t ever done that before - he so deserved it. He’s a different man now - a better man. He doesn’t think he’ll fall back into his old, self-neglecting ways, but to remind himself how important he is he makes sure to start every day with something sensual. It’s a weird sort of sensual, to be sure, but the fact that Daniel doesn’t get dressed until after his breakfast is enough of a daily reminder. Morning finds him walking through the house, talking quickly to his staff about the business of the day... it’s work, yes, but he’s doing it in a bathrobe and bare feet. Everyone around him is tucked and buttoned and proper, and he gets to feel the warm, plush carpet under his toes

I had been thinking something about Budge, but all I came up with was stuff he'd almost certainly have already done, before this episode - like write scathing notes in the margins, or something. What you came up with, I really really like, because it's something that fits the change you see in Daniel in the ep.
LOL, I'm loving these! Absolute Power dodgeball! And of course shopping via the Internet would be too pedestrian for Doctor Jackson. #3! He tried to pull that one off on Jack, didn't he? And it pretty much worked, too.
Ooh, #4. Yeah. I can see that.
He's got the flower arrangements thing down pat - until Jack comes along and messes them up!
Thank you for my birthday present!!!

And if you'd post a link to your list here, other folks can find and enjoy it, too!

2. Shopping. And by shopping he means having merchants bring their wares to him and catering to his every whim.
3. He enjoys home decorating and creating an air of authority that leaves his visitors feeling small and uncomfortable in their own skins.
4. He finds spa treatments very relaxing - and woe to anyone who disturbs him because he also finds a good flogging very hypnotic and relaxing.
5. He finds inner peace while creating big colorful flower arrangements.

I used to know a Goa'uld who had a hat something like that but instead of those sparkly beads it had big colorful feathers.
I'm happy to be able to give you a gift after all the pleasure I've taken from your fic and your friendship.
