It has come to my notice that Christmas is approaching. (Hard not to notice, really, what with all the shops being decked out in plastic trees and ornaments since the middle of November.)
Christmas means Christmas presents. And it has also come to my notice that some people I know have no clue what to get me for Christmas.
Since I know those people read my blog, I figured I'd make a list of stuff I want for Christmas, in order to avoid "well, I didn't really know what to get you..." and similar things occurring. The list ranges from cheap to expensive, touching pretty much everything in between, so there should be something for all pockets here ;)
Last updated: 7/12
The first stop would be my Amazon wishlist. (Yes, I do indeed have a wishlist, have had one for years, been linked from my blog for years. How certain people managed to miss it for several Christmases in a row I have no idea.) The wishlist is in priority order; I would love anything with a priority of 1 or 2, especially the 50th Anniversary Edition LotR and the Incarnations of Immortality series.
The next stop is another wishlist. Gotta love ThinkGeek. The /dev/blanket would be the most wanted item here.
In a pinch, gift certificates for either Amazon or ThinkGeek will also work quite well.
[ADDED 7/12] Pirates of the Caribbean medallion. I usually don't squee, but this is an exception. SQUEE! If nobody gets me this one, I'm getting it myself. The euro's kicking the dollar's ass and I can afford it, so nyah. [end addition] Got it myself. *grin*
Then there's the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King DVD, Gift Set edition. This is a must get. *does the happy It Has Been Ordered dance*
What else...
Some Uglydolls would be wonderful. Cinko, Ice Bat, Jeero, Ox and Wedgehead, to be specific. As well as the Stomach Ache, Cough, Martian Life and Black Death Giant Microbes.
This is mostly for people who live in my same city and know where to get these: some Schleich figurines. Especially: sheep standing, donkey foal, cat standing, shire foal, brown iceland pony, arab foal, hanoverian foal, cheetah, cheetah cub, grizzly bear cub, bald eagle, toco toucan, armadillo, deer kid, white-tailed doe, white-tailed fawn, white-tailed buck, hedgehog, squirrel eating, rabbit, rat, mouse, blue budgy, fawn with butterfly, kitten with ball of wool, killer whale, dolphin, dragon. Yes, I'm aware it's a long list, but I know you won't be able to find them all, and I firmly believe in giving people choice in what to get me instead of giving just a few items.
That's pretty much it, I think. I'll edit if I can think of something else. Christmas is a whole month away, after all...
