Yule time cheers again!
This entry is exclusive to those that have decided to participate in the Secret Santa I'm putting together this year. I have had several requests to start this "wish list" entry, as I did it last year and it seemed to help
( Read more... )
So, I would like (not in any certain order):
- Some of those dungeon tiles that B has (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, Martin and Corey would be good people to talk to). I don't know how much they cost.
- I like trying unusual and exotic foods... not sure how you translate that into a gift without risking getting something nasty, but that's your problem! ;-) A gift certificate to a restaurant that serves a more unusual style of food (not Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean, or Indian, for example) would be good, and then it would be my fault if I picked something nasty off the menu.
- A dragon egg. May cost more than $20 if you try to buy one (black market), but if you go slay a dragon and get an egg for me I'll reimburse you for any damage to your armor or healing potions you used.
- One of my brothers is really good at chess, the other is getting there too. So they've peer-pressured me not to let myself fall behind them. So, a book on chess would be good -- but if you don't know much about chess, and chess books in particular, you may want to skip on this. I don't know enough to offer good suggestions, but from talking to my brother Ben, they vary widely in purpose (chess books get very specialized) and the playing style they teach. So, it might be hard to get an appropriate one if you don't know what you are doing.
- Indiana Jones. Not the movies, not action figures, Indiana Jones -- the dude. As in Harrison Ford with a whip. You know where this is going...
- I like nerdy/sciency things. Is there a Science store in the mall here? There was one where I grew up, and it always had lots of neat things. Some were horrendously expensive, but they also had everything down to fun little trinkets. So, if there's a store like that around, you might want to go browse and see what looks like it might interest me.
- Speaking of sciency stuff, I would like a telescope. Getting a good one is probably a *lot* more expensive than $20, so this probably isn't a good idea for Secret Santa, but I thought I'd throw it out there since it occurred to me.
Again, sorry for the short and vague list. I've had trouble making Christmas lists since I was 14 years old. Good luck to you, Mr(s). Kringle!Reply
