Christmas Wish List

2010-12-03 22:54:41 • by Brian Verkley

I hardly have time for a Christmas Wish List this year.  Sad.

1) Batteries. I knew kids went through batteries, but this is ridiculous.  
Not just any rechargables, Eneloop.  They can recharge a ton and don't drain as much when just sitting in the device.

and more

2) Alcohol.  
Unrelated to kids and batteries, I just love those gift packs from the LCBO.  The Bavarian Alps Gift Pack or the Grolsch Gift Box or maybe just some spiced rum.  (Lisa says its the bees knees.)  I love the ones that come with glasses or mugs or openers or such.

3) A cell phone's coolest accessory ever.  ever.
ThinkGeek's Bluetooth Retro Handset

4) Cool Shooters.  Ice "cube" tray that has cubes the shape of shot glasses.

5) Wireless Presenter Laser Pointer.
not sexy, but I could use one.  Something like this.

but that is boring.  You can do better.  Think Star Wars themed or something.

6) Other good ideas are anything travel related (but not a pillow or eye shades.  who wants to carry that around.)  More like magazine subscriptions for airplane reading, or an iPad.

7) Gift cards.  Movies / Meals / Shows / Wonderland / 7 nights in Hawaii.  I like them all.

8) Food.  I don't buy much Christmas candy for myself.  Maybe this year I'll spoil Hadley a bit and "share" with her.  Or you could gift it to us :-)

Merry Christmas everyone.

I am thinking one of your neighbors is experimenting with an EMP device.
